These businesses - Armor Games, Kongregate, Newgrounds, NotDoppler, and every other Flash portal - have no public game plan. The short answer is, more or less, that nobody knows. As I said before, many of these sites had thousands of these games, literally thousands, ready to play in one click throughout the web browser.
Everyone being able to get onto a website shared by someone, only to blow the crap out of eachother in a multiplayer TANKS match, or to aggravate themselves endlessly in The World’s Hardest Game, or figure out the endless insane troll logic of The Impossible Quiz. And with every one an IT admin would squish underfoot, the populace would immediately spread around two more in its place.įlash had a lot of advantages to people of that era it ran on every kind of PC without issue through a web browser, most games were nice and tiny downloads that wouldn’t get noticed too much on a network, and they just worked the majority of the time. There were hundreds of them, each containing a huge selection of games to pick from, everyone had the mainstay of TANKS, but a lot of sites would have their own unique games. Not a site I used in my youth but one I imagine a lot did.įlash portals were like bugs to administrators of workplaces, schoolhouses and general areas of productivity.
