Highly recommend "Winnie the Pooh's Home Run Derby". It's the Dark Souls of flash games https://archive.org/details/homerunderby_en https://archive.org/details/homerunderby_en The japanese version is here (no difference) https://archive.org/details/homerun_20201126 https://archive.org/details/homerun_20201126 They might crash in full screen though (some kind of bug)

The reviews on the english version archive.org entry are a piece of art, memorial for the victims and something else altogether. Have not seen such reviews on anything else, not even close.

I just struck out 5 times in a row, finally made solid contact and the game crashed. Thank you, lol

  Try not to play fullscreen. Started crashing some months ago. Or download the sfw file and play with the standalone Ruffle.rs client

    did you report that to the bug tracker?

      Looks like someone already did!

    (Ruffle dev here) We took a look at `Home Run Derby` specifically and found some bugs and inefficiencies - the most recent builds should run faster and hopefully crash less :)

What a mystery for how that ever got approved... (For context, there is a video of a YouTuber trying to beat it... and he did, 7 1/2 hours later. He was mostly stuck on the "Christopher Robin" level which basically requires perfect to-the-frame timing.)

  Yeah that’s Ludwig. One of the better streams ever. The final boss is crazy because every pitch is random so you have to guess instantly + perfect hit it too There is some lore behind the game. It was a Yahoo Japan title https://www.siliconera.com/winnie-the-poohs-home-run-derby-shutting-down https://www.siliconera.com/winnie-the-poohs-home-run-derby-s...

Well now I've got that crappy music stuck in my head. That brings up a real mystery from 15 years ago that I never did solve. Back in the day you could go on kongregate or whatever and play these awful flash games that clearly took 30 minutes or less to make. Just junky, copy-paste stuff. (Much worse than the "home run derby" game above.) And yet... And yet they all seemed to have original sound tracks of more-or-less passable game music. Where were they getting this from? Did adobe give everybody a huge catalog of tunes to pick from?

  a lot of people tended to get CC0 music, free, and didn't need to make their own though most of the actually good flash games had an artist make music specifically for the game

  It was mostly from https://www.newgrounds.com/ https://www.newgrounds.com/ Click the audio tab

  Newgrounds had the Audio Portal, a repository of free-to-use music specifically intended for use by people creating movies and games for their Flash Portal. That being said, this sort of licensed tie-in webgame probably would have just bought a royalty-free stock music track from Audiojungle[0] or whatever. There was also a huge market for licensing custom-branded versions of whole Flash games, too. That's why every mid-2000s official site for any sort of media property had Flash games on it. [0] Audiojungle.

    Did you mean to footnote Audiojungle with Audiojungle? haha

Indeed, it crashed Firefox mobile for me in full screen But either way, I played twice and that's enough for me
