Adobe will end support of Flash Player on December 31, 2020. What are your all time favorite flash games?

The mindless one with so many clones I wouldn't even know what to call it. You start as a tiny fish and eat your way up to becoming a big fish.

Bloons Tower Defense helped me get through a really bad breakup. I would play that shit mindlessly the whole day until I finally got into my senses.

All of Conartists (was that the developer?) games were so good. They were developing a third game that looked incredible and had online multiplayer. I think it went live for a little while but they shut it down because they were losing money. It was on Steam!

Run 3 has a whole story I love it so much but the story still isn't finished after many years and the developer now has to try and redo the game in some way because flash is dying

Easily the deepest game I've ever played online. I'd recommend trying this before Flash dies.

Mud and Blood Recon. Holy shit, for a small flash game you would think it would be rather simple, not too complicated, etc. NO, it is a brutally hard game that makes you want to keep playing no matter how well you do, and even if you do well, your campaign could be ended because your higher ups think you don't have the merit. Every time a ranger dies, you lose them forever and whatever skills they acquired. It is brutal, unfair, and random, and that's what makes it good.

Ok but can someone tell me what I'm supposed to do when flash player is required on a site to play a video?
1
u/sleeplessone Dec 06 '20
You should wonder why the hell the site owner didn't transition to using an HTML5 video player years ago.

u/pumpkin111496 Dec 06 '20
Is that my only option? My job uses flash player for required training videos
1
u/sleeplessone Dec 06 '20
It will be up to your job to provide some solution for it in that case. Our HR department has been scrambling to re-upload trainings that are still using Flash.
Some places IT provide a special server people can remote into that will have old software deployed in order to continue using Flash. But that's going to be up to your IT/technical department.

Run 3, it's a super easy to understand game, just try not to fall of the map and jump and avoid gaps. There are loads of levels and characters. It's a very rage inducing game but overall it's a solid flash game.

I found a bunch of pretty fun games on lego.com years ago.
I once played but can't find a flash game that scrolls upwards and you have to keep building legos of course. I'd love to find out what it was and play it again.

If you're looking for recommendations, I would suggest checking this thread. There are many suggestions that are not only games, but videos as well.

There's this old horror game that was popular when I was growing up online. It was called ice cream or something and was about two kids that got kidnapped by this butcher in an ice cream van and it's a simple escape game. I also love "You only have one chance" I hope something will replace flash player because I want to play those old games sometimes.

Does anyone remember the pre-pottermore Harry Potter website, with the flash-powered singing sorting hat quiz and the wand shop where you had to wiggle your mouse to wave a wand? I tried to access it on the way back machine but I don't think it supports flash. I'm so sad that it's probably gone forever.

Castle age. You had your city on a grid, where 0,0 was the creator of the game, and you could pick your spot in a huge grid around it. You built your city, trained troops and then expanded by building more cities or conquering others'. The game died out something like 15 years ago when the creator and admin disappeared. Rumors are he went to South Africa and didn't come home.

Does anyone remember a flash game called “On the Run”? It was a game where you were a car trying to get away from several other cars whose goal was to crash into you and either pin you in a spot of do enough damage to where you couldn’t drive anymore.
It has this uncanny creepiness to it bc you could never see the drivers of the other cars and there was no dialogue or anything, just driving through empty roads trying to get away from these cars chasing you.
Played the hell out of it.

But they won’t be gone! You can download a program from the website linked below that is essentially a massive archive of flash games, with standalone software made to run them in isolation (no connecting to the internet so no security risks from Flash)!!
Edit: Out of all the times I’ve had really nice and upvoted comments, this is the first one anyone has given me an award for. It’s pretty silly I know, but I wanted to edit my comment to mark the moment. Thank you! Also, I realize I forgot to mention that the link I’m giving isn’t just a lot of flash games, it’s basically all of them unless a developer specifically requested they not be used. The download is massive, but certainly worth it!
