    Everything on Nitrome, but particularly Final Ninja. Damn that game was hard.

    I fucking hate Adobe for discontinuing Flash, they destroyed hundreds of thousands of hours of work and took all of these games away. Fortunately some have been saved but they don't play as well as the old Flash games. What was wrong with Flash anyhow?

      Flash had major security flaws beyond the level of just putting a tracker cookie on your browser. Flash could access your microphone without your permission, it could also trigger pop-ups. I remember one Flash exploit that could access your printer and start printing unlimited pages covered in black ink.

      Still a shame it had to die. Flash games and cartoons were an unbridled and vast network of creativity, people doing things for the sake of art or messing around.

        Surely there was a better way to do it than just abandoning thousands of hours of work?

          A ton of that stuff was archived and there were a couple flash emulators that ended up coming out

      Came here to say Nitrome .

      Final Ninja, Dirk Valentine, TOXIC, Mutiny (even though it was just Worms).

      I had fallen out of flash gaming for a few years, disillusioned about the capabilities of the form. Nitrome showed me flash could be more.
