- darepublic 7y agoTwo of my favourite flash games (late era flash) - Abobo's Big Adventure (abobosbigadventure.com) - Super mario bros crossover (http://supermariobroscrossover.com/ http://supermariobroscrossover.com/)
- kgwxd 7y agoThere's plenty of new browser games being made, but both developer and user interest in mini-games has shifted to native mobile apps, which wasn't really a thing in Flash's heyday.
- trentlott 7y agoMany phone games are (or were) browser games at heart. Just an app that served a webpage. The fact that they weren't very imaginative or fun or free is what the hyperconnected mobile web brought us.
- shadowgovt 7y agoTo be fair, the absolute bulk of browser-based Flash games weren't imaginitive or fun either (and I can assure you, would probably not have been free if drop-in-and-use ad plugins for Flash had been around, if the ads that framed those apps can be taken as any indication ;) ).
