Good Ol' Flash

Does anyone have fond memories of Adobe Flash when it was in its prime?  I remember a time about 10 years ago when I was really poor and would spend most of my days stealing my neighbour's Wi-Fi and playing free Flash games and watching terrible animations.

I did some digging and managed to find some of my old favourites scattered across the web:

Animations:
There She Is!!
Decline of Video Gaming (Egoraptor was so young)
Madness Combat
Chocobo Robo Voice

Games:
Interactive Buddy
Demonic Defence 4
Noidzor
Sinjid - Shadow of the Warrior
Boxhead - More Rooms
Thing-Thing Arena 2

And even a couple multiplayer games that I'm surprised to see still going:
Tactics Arena
TankPit (Formerly Battlefield [actually I think this one is Java])

Most of them are quite terrible in retrospect, but oh man the nostalgia.  What were some of your favourite ol' Flashes?

Oh absolutely! I have literally played through thousands of flash games for almost 8 years. Mostly in this site. I still frequent there, have hit the level cap (you get points from playing through games with achievements) and still love the site. Too bad the Flash is dying. I was also very saddened when the support of flash for Android phones was discontinued. I had to resort to external emulator app, which is sadly unstable and doesn't support all .swf files. I even learned to locate them, make them run on projectors and modify them (a.k.a sol cheat)

Flash is like an old King for me. A great ruler and may it reign for long but I also know its days are getting numbered.

Even Java is dying >.<

Unity and HTML5 will be replacing those. I am not a very big fan of unity though...

I recently found out this is still a thing. It pretty much sums up my junior high and high school experience. http://www.homestarrunner.com/main1.html

Ah, that too.  I'm really glad to see that's still going. <3

Haha, nice!  I didn't know about Kongregate at the time, I only discovered that a few years ago, but I haven't really played flash games in a long time.  I mostly played on Ugoplayer or Newgrounds.

And yeah, flash is pretty obsolete, poorly optimized and full of vulnerabilities, but at least we got some great stuff out of it.  I didn't know about Java ending, that is kind of sad as well, but that's been a long time coming too.  Hoping the future brings stuff just as good or better.

You just said the reason for java ending too. It's filled with vulnerabilities and you every week a new java update launches, you can hear about an exploit that can compromise your security of data
