    A generation of children will grow up not knowing what shockwave flash or an mp3 is. :(

        Ikr? Online virtual worlds also make me feel old. Like Ourworld. I remember when that was the newest big thing. I can’t believe it’s 13 years old.

              Don't worry I'm pretty sure coolmathgames is converting to html or smth so the games can still run without flash!

              I was never really good at that one. During quarantine, I got nostalgic and decided to play Papa's Pastaria since that's the only one I never got to play as a kid. I'm honestly a little sad that i'm not gonna get to finish it.

                      What about the Run games? Or fireboy and watergirl? The arguments we used to have about who was who.

                      I miss Toys R Us, there used to be a massive one near me, it's still empty

            They're still on mobile which doesn't use flash but they cost money, it's not the same tho. :(

        Hi! Thought I'd drop by and say that BlueMaxima's Flashpoint has saved many games/animations, it's a great internet preservation project that's been going on since Adobe announced the retirement

          Right? Heartbroken. my own hope was that weird as kids get in the future, they'd probably still be playing fire boy and watergirl, aka just being kids. That hope was crushed. ㅠㅠ

          I love your profile picture by the way!

            Exactly. I checked out the Cool Math Games site tho (I still use it a lot lmao) and luckily they're able to preserve most of their flash games. I hope that they can preserve Fireboy and Watergirl too.

            And thank you about my profile pic! I love it too (●´ω｀●)

              Your pfp itself makes me nostalgic. RIP the days when every popular franchise was either parodied with caramelldansen or the Lucky Star opening.

        Old interactive games like Arcane and Steppenwolf: X-Creatures Project will also be gone. You know, games back when online games for kids actually had kids use their brain and learn something and solve informative and multi step puzzles and riddles and tasks, and wasn’t some weird Elsa pregnant by Jack Frost doctor checkup game.

        My favorite Sue game were the ones where you did a casino like spin for a perfect body and where Sue was a witch and made a potion. Oh, and the cheerleader one.

        the dressup games were on another level! All the ones that had different characters were great too. there were also games where you'd have little mini games in between dressing up with a theme, I forgot the name but I loved them.
