I remembered when flash 'died' and thought all of that was just lost history. Turns out there are translation layers that sites (e.g., new grounds) are running, and you can run flash games of the 2000s on your phone today. Kind of crazy that a) I'm still able to see flash uploaded in 2000 and b) I remember some of the games now, 26 years later.

Dull Man's Rant: To me it was annoying that you had to install Shockwave Flash just to use the internet, and dont get me started on flash ads... It was great when the canvas element and WebGL was introduced.

That being said, I remember being introduced to homestarrunner.com back in 2000-2001 and then rediscovering it 20 years later! I can't remember playing flash games I must have tried a few around that time.
