The Art of Flash Games
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Flash games have been around for years now, being posted to websites like Newgrounds and Miniclip, and with Adobe Flash Player being discontinued later this year, I take a trip down memory lane and take a look at some of my favourite flash games from the past, from Raft Wars to Age of War, we explore what made flash games so great.

hey girl, let's get out of here and go play some flash games yo
can you another Ireact video his name is now owl
Flash games 🤣🤣🤣 ah I was playing this shit in my 10yo too 😂😂😂
Wanna play Hobo?
Wanna play some Fireboy & Watergirl?
Even tho I can play it solo. The hours I spent on that game are beyond everyone's mind
Wanna play dress up yoda?
Me and my friends got a thing called Friv. That was the shit.
Me too
Yesssssss
that was the god site of my entire school. Everyone used it at some point.
Hell yeah, that was the bomb.
Yes
Thank fucking god for this video. This video is the only proof I have that I wasn't the only person using Andkon Games
Perhaps the archives are incorrect
Dude yes omfg I feel the exact same way
Feeling's mutual. I randomly discovered it during the mid to late 2000's and I played it for years.
Same
Facts. I put thousands of hours in on that website
Had no idea i spent so much time playing flash games but almost every game you showed a clip of unlocked a new memory in my brain. Thank you
Twas one hell of an emotional rollercoaster
There is nothing to unlock in there
theres no thing such as a new memory
You’re a Russian sleeper agent. Be careful.
Most of us spent so much time playing flash games. I remember playing the holy shit out of a flash game called "Strike Force Hero's" and is what led to my love for FPS games.
life hack: you can still find a lot of these on Flash Museum :)
And right now, you can even play it on your smartphone with our application and Ruffle. But it's still in development. But several good games is playbable right now.
thanks
flashpoint
or newgrounds
Flash games was the best thing for a child with an old laptop with slow internet. My personal favorites were the Swords and Sandals series, Feudalism 1&2, Stick War, and Raze.❤
Dude stick page was awesome.
bro I played the shit out of raze 2. good times :(
Holy fuck raze 3 music is so nostalgic thank you for reminding me of raze
raze was the shit bro
heck yeah, raze, swords and sandals and shellshock blew my mind back then :D
Flash will never be forgotten.......
I jesus christ can access any flash game without problems
@@Gesmick give us your power
@@IIiiiLiiOiiIii stop crying bruh flash just doesnt get updates it works fine
2020 hit use wif the last and worst of 2020
ah yes, childhood
Age of war was the goat
the theme song slaps
Thank waterflame for the theme song, everything that man makes is great
Tbh I loved the game for the amount of glitches to make the other ai want to rq
Glorious Morning, 1 and 2, are accessible on Spotify, and Apple Music.
@@Joeseppi it’s called “Glorious Morning” he made a sequel. It’s by water flame
The OG fancypants games were just absolute gold. Oh the things I would give to get that feeling of euphoria finding out about fancypants and beating the first game in a couple hours on a beige Dell tower.
Yeah...
the sweet, sweet sound of 3 stars in Angry Birds, the wallnut bowling in PvZ, the theme of Age of War, and Jacksmith, Learn to Fly, problably more...
*They all fall.*
Joe: *Seeing a man being decapitated* Also Joe: Yooo this flash game is awesome!!!!
probably scarred me as a child
Joe mama
@@Joeseppi oof
@@Joeseppi 69 nice:)
@@Joeseppi Honestly, wouldn't be surprised. Also I remember playing games on Andkon Arcade... oh the memories. My favourites were... shiz, forget the names. Ok so the second one from the left 1st(top) row, the 3rd from the left in the 2nd & 3rd row, 4th from left in 3rd row, 5th from left 3rd and 6th row, 6th from left 1st row(Miragine? War, still has a mobile game that is both good and shit) and 4th row, 3rd from right 2nd and 3rd row, 2nd from right 2nd and 3rd row, and 1st from right 3rd row.
Played all those and a handful of others quite often when I was little.
Flash games were the GOLDEN age of video games. I remembered playing 4 player flash games with my Cousins on Y8.
Oh wait. Y8 was the creator of the right mix series
Y8 Gang!
Y8 abd friv were my childhood's sites
Y8 turkish gang
@@KricketGD Mine too
The "games on a flash drive" thing reminded me that there was a game that went around my school, it was like a paper airplane flying game where you had to avoid fans and things. The twist was, it was embedded in an excel sheet on some obscure row:column coordinates so if teach came by, just hop on back at A1 and just looks like an empty spreadsheet
I heard of that game
What is the game
@@BOBOS_SILLYSTUFF the game is flight :)
Now that is absolutely genius.
I used to play that game a lot
Age of war is really popular now it’s amazing how much it grew!
I have the app, play it every now and then to remember
I finished that kissing game. There were multiple endings and I got two. 1) If you don't kiss her at all she goes with the boss. 2) If you kissed her moderately but not enough, she doesn't chose either of you.
i played a game similar to it but it was about eating cookies while your dad was asleep
The version I played was a Korean one about a guy that has to fart really badly at a bus stop next to an old lady and you have to time it with the traffic as long as possible. Otherwise your gas meter fills up and the guy rockets into space.
@@viscountrainbows6452 Hahaha I actually remember that one
There are also a whole series of Japanese games where you play as a girl who seduces boys with your charming eye lasers and gains their souls followiing behind you.
Age of war was lit
only real ones know how good age of war was
It was good. But there was another very similiar game that was more complex but so much better. The one where you could build stuff in the back of your base allowing you to build different units
The soundtrack was GOLD
@@Ok-tl1dv the day I found it on youtube was a good day
Glorious morning btw
I played 2 first then played 1 and didnt liked it when i was a kid lmao
The peak of Flash games was such a beautiful time where young talented artist just wanted to share their passion.
I remember playing Age of War and my mother yelling at me because it was "violent"
I remember being yelled at by my dad because I played Minecraft.
His logic was that, because it's in first person, it's an FPS like Doom or Call of Duty.
...yep.
@Crack Man77 that killed me xd
@@utisti4976 Did you let him know about the Third-Person mode?
@@Mario583a
I actually didn't know about the third person mode at the time.
@@Mario583a because its third person, it's an tps like gears of war and max payne
Newgrounds and Armorgames were my shit. My favorites were Dad N Me, Madness Interactive, Boxhead, and a bunch of others I'm probably forgetting right now
il remember playing strike force heros 2 in school and yesterday i looked at my tags and found one for a flash site with the game... god damn i miss the older simpler times
@@Cinnay11 Strike Force Heroes 2 is the best game in the series imo. I don't really like Strike Force Heroes 3.
Boxhead was a og game
the Madness and Deathwish games were great
Same here , best dealers for flash I know
The theme song of Age of War is called "Glorious Morning", by Waterflame.
and damn good it is
Waterflame is basically the Kevin Macleod of 2010
Gd anyone?
@@kacper717 yeah.
It’s also the one of the songs that plays in stick war and I think also Segius.
As somebody who wasted whole weekends of my life on Andkon in the late 00s, on a worn-out Dell laptop with a tea towel on my lap so that it didn't burn a hole in my crotch while it struggled to render flash games, I can relate to this on a very personal level.
Every time I see a video like this, I’m always amazed by how similar my childhood was to other people’s.
Hell, I'm 14 and I grew up on flash games. I specifically remember a ton of NewGrounds, arcadeprehacks, and GirlsGoGames
Ive also kind of realized that while better and worse in certain apsects, its the same thing with roblox nowadays.
Practically every kid is playing roblox games, and its not just a few games. There are tons of incredibly janky games (90% made by someone bellow the age of 16) that are nowhere near the front page that still get thousands of players every day.
Ha
The Japanese game at 3:48 is called "Offi-chu Love" (オフィちゅ ラブ), the name has a wordplay between "Office love" and "Chuu", the Japanese onomatopoeia for a kiss. The button at 3:51 does indeed say "Start", while the other one down left at 3:48 again says "How to play", or "Game instructions" (遊び方)
私より速い
Damn this game was really cool
I remember I used to play this in my friends house when I was 5 years old.
Quite nostalgic....
Did anyone else notice the couple are literally Jim and Pam from the Office
@@nm9688 yep
I played so many of those kissing games it's unreal 😂
I remember playing a ton of these on Coolmath Games, my favorites where Bloons Tower Defense, Run 2, Fireboy and Watergirl, any of the Papa’s games, and the Duck Life games.
Duck life was the best back then
man fireboy and watergirl was the best one, there was portals, lasers, ice, acid, and me and my sister played it all the time when i was a kid
I miss duck life
Don’t forget clicker heroes
Coolmaths Games was my dealer too
The national anthem of flash games is also known as Glorious Morning, composed by Waterflame. If you wanted to find it.
Wozers
Anything by Waterflame will stay close to my heart, especially the KR2 Theme Song and Time Machine. I played the shit out of Kawairun 1 and 2, they will forever be a core part of me.
And probably Metal Industry, because it was the part I used to always get stuck on, so can you imagine how high my adrenaline levels ran whenever it would come on in the game XD
elsa give birth simulator
ah yes, one of my favourites
You gotta go with Anna baby birth smh
Sven brith simulator
ive seeen that and im not proud of that
@@cisarovnajosefina4525 B R I T H SIMULATOR
This brought me an immense amount of nostalgia... Andkon was literally my childhood lmao
Swords and Sandals II was definitely the best flash game. I even decided to buy the Swords and Sandals classic collection and I've played it for 40 hours or so.
agreed
I'm fucking struggling to defeat john the butcher way back in the day

Oh my deathbed, with my final minutes of life, I will ask my loved ones "Remember Cactus McCoy, that one cool flash game?"
This channel is criminally underrated...
When I was 10 the whole school played on a website called mathletics, instead of actual flash games. You had to prove you were the best at level 1 live mathletics.
Oh yeah I remember using that at school!
We were forced to play that, I was always the best at 6+2 :)
Mathletics is good, but their new site readiwriter is trash
can we get an F in the chat for flash games, the only thing that raised us since our parents didn't want to
F.

It's going to be difficult to explain to people just how great Flash games were. I started playing Flash games in 2002, and basically didn't stop until Flash was killed. So many great titles...
You've just awakened so many memories I forgot I had
Yep for sure
When he said Andkon Arcade a rush of memories came back
AddictingGames and miniclip….hearing those names just unlocked beautiful memories I thought were gone…
damn no love for armor games? i think its the best site but it seems most people dont know it lol
I really enjoyed Miniclip's Robot Rage game. Heck NeoPets was amazing too. It's insane how these sites were early adopters and had almost a monopoly on it and as kids we would all talk about it and play it, and nowadays the AppStore and GooglePlay are flooded with millions of mobile phone games.
same.. Many more sites ♥️
No mention of notdoppler ?
@@aravinds3846 never heard of it
It's kind of sad seeing Flash go. I mean, sure, the performance is relatively horrible on bigger games, but damn... I remember the likes of Battle Gear, Warfare 1917 and Warfare 1945 out of all the small games, and then the likes of Ninja Saga and Farm Ville from the bigger games, on Facebook... kinda sad to see them go.
I absolutely love warfare 1917
@@kingsempire4270 ikr. It was lit
This video gave me a huge nostalgia rush
Back when daddy meant dad. So much simpler times. When fortnite wasnt a thing and when 6 year olds arent idiots.
take me back
*ahh the good old days*
Fortnite is cringe.
Back when a fortnight was 14 days
I miss those days
Nitrome, Y8games, NotDoppler and Newgrounds where literally my whole childhood
only the real Gs know about nitrome it was like finding a goldmine the games there were amazing
@@partnermammoth2562 Nitrome was fucking LIIIIT. I loved playing Mutiny!!!
Though flash is gone Newgrounds is still very much around. Thank god
Made so many great memories on that site with my brother and sister
Rip flash games,you where a big part of my childhood you may live in our hearts forever
Ive never met another person who played on andkon, what a fuckin legend. Making yoda have cornrows is one of my fondest memories
Weird feeling in my brain everytime a game I used to play appeared on screen LOL I love it
It's called Nostalgia
4:39 don't forget what being dexterous with a mouse meant back then. You had to start jiggling the mouse to get the ball spinning just right before the hard parts.
Ah the good old days, for some reason I had the urge to take the ball out every time I used it.
There would always be that one mouse at school without a ball in it hahah
@@DerKaktusAvant and blow on it to make it work better
Don’t mind me, just gonna binge watch this dude’s videos
I remember the beginning of flash games.
I was playing it at school.
Even later i was playing at my work.
I remember i had account at kongregate. Levels of account...
It's a part of history...
Game:*Absolute brutality*
Oooh ok this game is pretty awesome 10/10 will play again
The last flash game I ever played was earn to die ! And this game was awesome!
Well now you can go to google play, I played awesome tanks and it's on google play since 2017 lol
Jacksepticeye screaming happy wheels might be the best noise of my entire life...
Speed is key
I think the single idea that it was so open and limited at the same time made it so only games with really cool concepts could be successful
You can't comprehend the joy I feel when I see games like Age of War pop up anywhere other than the laptop my mother used to browse Facebook
ahaha, it’s so true that when you’re a kid you think you’re the only one that played that game, until you see someone else talk about it and its mindblowing
My supplier was friv on the school laptops
My supplier is coolmath edu games unlimited and tyrones unblocked games
My supplier was a Chinese web site called 4399 and it was the best game ever
My personal supplier was this German site for 6 year olds. It's filled with garbage "3D" games/knockoffs nowadays but it was the shit back then with some great games.
FRIV is top tier ngl, also the SAS saga until the devs showed us that they care more about le funne balloon monke game
Min hero gamers unite
Newgrounds was the shit 20 years ago. Many memories
The end of an era. I will look back on these times fondly. Godspeed Adobe Flash. You will be well and truly missed, old friend. May your pizzerias flourish, and your stickmen thrive. Godspeed.
flashpoint has a massive archive of flash games.
2014: *Me and my brother playing Fireboy and Watergirl
2021: *Me and da bois playing cs since my brother has a gf now*
So true
he is a simp
i remember me and my brother fighting over who got to be fireboy
@@KricketGDsameeeeeeeee
I used to play fireboy and watergirl and the 2 ice creams on friv
I swear for the longest time I thought I was the only person who knew what andkon was
I spent so many hours after finishing my classwork (or ignoring it) playing Flash games on my chromebook or after school in the computer lab waiting for my parents to pick me up. My dealers were theCoolMathGames with the Papa Louie Series and Big Ice Tower Tiny Square, and the many Unblocked Games sites like 77, 66, etc. with games like Strike Force Heroes 2 and the Henry Stickmin games which are my all-time favorite flash series
Not even a minute and thirty seconds in I'm laughing my ass off at that ethan gamer bit
he really is a gamer
The hype when you unlock the spearton in stick wars is still there.
Aaa
Such a classic
Fancy pants, the classroom 1 and 2, and this weird one where you’re a marshmallow playing with gravity we’re the best. Fun gameplay and entertaining stories to keep my simple little 10 year old mind occupied
Oh yeah holy shit is it the purple one ?
So glad I grew up with Flash games. They made the growing up period amazing. My supplier was Kongregate which for some reason rarely gets mentioned in these videos.
Heck I still go to it daily to get my badge of the day even though nothing new has been added for years so the same games are in the rotation.
And blessed be Flashpoint which gives me the ability to replay any Flash game from my favorite list when I feel nostalgic.
Also some of them started getting ports to Steam. Some are even getting full on sequels.
I love that sights like new grounds still see traffic to this day and that wonderful free to play games are being made public for anyone to play. Friday Night Funkin gives me hope for the future
DUDE, 7:48 OPENED A HUGE TRUCKLOAD OF NOSTALGIA FOR ME! I remember playing that game long long ago on my dads computer, omg the nostalgia!
my first flash game was friv and it was an overwhelming experience i always played fire boy and water girl with my sister and we will never get bored of it so sad that its currently dying tho
same
I lived in South Africa growing up (hope to go back at some point) and our internet was pretty abysmal, so we would use Orbit Free Download Manager to download online flash games onto our PC so we could play them offline or copy them to friends. I have preserved that collection of flash games well over the years and even on my PC here in the UK today, I have files dating back to 2003 from when I downloaded them. I used sites like Miniclip and Albino Black Sheep.
Maaaan these really were the days though, people making art for the sake of passion and community, early versions of memes and jokes going from one flash production to another. The mobile game landscape of today is a lifeless place by comparison.
just the nostalgia i need to remember Siegius and Infectonator: Survivors, my personal most best flash games i have ever played
Yes
was just scrolling through the comments when i saw "siegius" and got hit with instant deja vu - thank u comrade o7
shift heads is my favourite of all time, I didn't play alot due to strict asian parents but boy when i get the chance i would play for hours
I did to
Sift heads?
Holy hell, I thought Andkon Arcade was just a figment of my childhood imagination back then. My sisters and I used to play one gummy game where we just smacked each other down with some inputs on the keyboard. Good times, good times
you can still play many of them on Flash Museum
I remember playing raft wars, bob the snail, that one French robber game, and multiple tower defense and invader games.
Ahhhhhh the memories. Loading up the family computer, hearing the windows 7 startup theme, opening up internet explorer, searching up flash games and playing untill someone unplugged the computer.
Much simpler times...
I felt like a giga chad when I played territory war, that background music 😩
Bro activated an old memory with the andkon arcade bit
5:50 brooo i used to play that game when i was 5 and completley forgot about till you menshioned it in this video
same that pac man game brang back me old memories i was soo young like 5 or something now im nearly 17
Flash may be discontinued, but it still lives in our hearts
The age of war song is called Glorious Morning by Waterflame, for anyone who wanted to know.
I played so many flash games, one of them being Lego games like Ninjago Spinjitzu Smash party, Lego Builder Island, and so many more. I would never forget how much time I would just spend playing these games for hours.
Flash will be in our heart forever
Yes
That sonic flash game was the stuff back in the day
yeah that shit was epic
F*k. Cause i didnt played once with shadow or amy on these game but still one of famous and best flash games ever
yup.
I am gamer and i play flash games. (I also called this in the discord)
yes, quite spooky
uwu
Oh my God. After seeing videos on flash games. I was upset that nobody else seemed to remember andkon. That site was my go to site for playing flash games. Definitely earned a sub
9:09 Ah Tanks, Used to beat that one guy during IT class all the time.
(we dont talk about the times I lose)
I have big news. The name of the Age of War theme song is called “Glorious Morning.” By Waterflame. Now we can listen to it on repeat for hours on end.
3:53 it says Sutaaato, which is start.
500iq play, thanks for that
Honest to god Somebody could tell young me that Fancy Pants was made by Nintendo or something and I'd believe them because of how damn good the game is
Bruh, you gave me such a nostalgia-gasm
Age of war theme brings tears to my eyes.
I was progressively more shocked every time you unlocked a memory of me spending unlimited hours on these games as a kid.
Man flash games were my enter childhood. I’m gonna "play the shit out of them" until December 31st 😢 Also fancy pants adventure is the best flash game.
You should do an entire video on classic UA-cam 2005-2010
they really were the shit
There's a project called BlueMaxima's Flashpoint. They saved over 50,000+ flash games so that they aren't lost forever :)
This video brought more nostalgia than an fucking old cassette tape that my dad filmed.
As soon as I heard Addicting Games I got balloon tower defense 2 flashbacks
PARTICLES WAS MY ENTIRE CHILDHOOD HOLY SHIT THE MEMORIES
Honestly, watching people at school play Flash games is what got me into game development.
I remember a flash game that was pretty gruesome, where you would staple on your boss's face and no it wasn't wack your boss, it was something else. You can also go around the office find stuff and make it lethal then kill everyone in the office in a gruesome way. I've also played alot of papa's games too even competing with my cousins. papa's games were the shit here.
It’s a year later but whack your boss the shit

i remember some legend at school downloaded hundreds of flash games and put them on our schools public library after the websites were banned so we could still play them without any of the teachers knowing
this brings back way too many memories and i love that the exact same games that were played in my school in germany were played somewhere else in the world as well xD
5:55 This art is a *certified hood classic.*
I think the best game was " Papa Louie 2 : When Burgers Attack!" It was easy at first, but after the fifth level it became extremely hard but also very fun
Flash games and indie games have something that AAA games and mobile games don’t have. Artistic direction and workable gameplay
