I never played any flash games and I never really understood the difference between the flash and shockwave plugins for games, but , I always installed flash because it was a wonderful video player. Before flash video was common most things were quicktime and the quicktime plugin was SLOW. The other nice thing about flash is unlike quicktime there was a linux version. Sure, flash is obsolete and unloved now, but it really was better than what came before it.
