This is depressing man. I played some of these as a kid. You'd think with how the internet and technology has progressed we'd be better at creating backlogs.

[@Eminster]

The problem is that there are so much of it.

[@Cris-em9tn]

The problem to backing it all up is actually how much the internet has progressed. As of 2020, 380 web pages are added per minute, or 547,200 daily. That means in a year there are about 200 million new webpages. There is no way for any computer system to find and back them all up. The amount of servers alone would probably fill a football stadium, if not another couple. The wayback machine is great but doesn't back up games or many videos because of the huge load that would put on their servers. Plus, it's impossible for a backup program to differentiate between a good website that is finished and complete, from a bad one that just has 10 Rickroll videos on it. So it'll never be fully backed up, and people need to back up what is important to them now so it isn't lost in 15 years.

[@WerewulfNerd2000]

@Dusk Raccoon It’s not necessarily the age of Flash but more of the fact that it died due to the mobile age, Adobe giving up on upgrading Flash, and Apple leading to the hatred towards Flash. Once the iPhone became a thing that was the beginning of the end for Flash. It’s a shame, because later on in the 2010’s had some really good games made in flash but at that point Flash was dying and being replaced. At the end of the day Adobe is ultimately what killed Flash as instead of upgrading it like HTML5 they decided to abandon it leaving many of the games, and websites that relied on Flash to die.

Not quite "decorate your bedroom" level sweepstakes, but... I did win a "lifetime supply" of Willy Wonka sweets in the 90's from a comic book called Beano (Dennis the Menace) back when they first started promoting them in the UK. I was so happy when they announced I'd won... and then waited that stupidly long waiting time for competition to end and it be shipped out. It arrived in a huge Wonka branded cardboard box and I started having kid daydreams of how I'm going to receive boxes every month for life filled with sweets. Lifetime supply, right? One box. Just one. One huge cardboard box with 4 packets of nerds, 4 packets of dweebs, and 2 packets of gobstoppers. Individual packets, not display boxes or anything. Just a few packets that even in todays money is worth about £8 tops.

Re: Tamatown, it’s actually the case that only a very small portion of the site has been archived - the V4 version pretty much only has the loader, intro sequence and main town area swfs preserved, so even if you bypass the login you’re not going anywhere else. V3 has a bit more preserved but often didn’t load in preserved versions of the site which led to the misconception that the V4 version was archived. I’ve actually done quite a bit of research into what’s lost and what’s left to recover and I’m considering making a video on it in the future to catch people’s attention, since that tends to be the way to get people thinking and looking for this stuff.

There's this one lost flash game that sometimes I'm worried I made it up all in my head since I can't find, like, any evidence it exists anymore. Because the Hasbro site used to be chalked full of games. And there was this really specific one based on The Game of Life. It used to be my favorite game when I was younger, although I don't have the best memory from back then. I remember that you could upload your face into the game, and you could go through really adventurous life events in it. The main one I remember was going skydiving. If literally anyone else remembers this game, I'd love to hear a reply to it, lol. Eventually I'll find out if I just dreamed the whole thing up or not.

[@nongthangsana]

I don't recall Hasbro or a webcam (to upload your face) being involved but I remember playing a game called game of life or once upon a life on Miniclip that kinda fits the description.

[@soouG.]

I also have an unusual piece of lost media I remember playing a lot in my childhood, but it wasn't that game, it was this weird bird game where you basically played as this bird and would shoot down all these helicopters, planes, owls, everything. there was also this season system where after a distance of most likely 2000 I-don't-knows the background would change to a differently themed one and a cutscene would also play. I also remember there having to be upgrades to your bird and that rarely owls would have an upside down head and if you shot one down for the first time you would get an achievement called "Retarded Owl" or something which was inappropriate but I didn't care about it because it was just one thing, and a glitch also having a chance to happen upon loading the game where the loading screen just said a few random letters. I can't remember the name of this elusive bird game.

This brings me back to my childhood. Just seeing they type of stuff on flash.

[@sergeantsucc909]

I totally remember those Noggin games those were great when I was 5.

[@skylynnessea2761]

There was one game on the TVOkids website called Pillars of Freedom. I looked it up and can find nothing online except for the Wiki page, a Facebook post, and the developer site. It was a "television-web hybrid" show about dragons, so you could watch episodes then play the online game to get further background. I never watched the show and I could not find any episode online. I barely remember the plot but I enjoyed it very much. I'm so sad to see that it's gone, with not a single clip I could find other than screenshots on the devs site.

[@kirbysuperstaruhh3769]

Bro, i remember pillars of freedom too, i came across the site one day and had no idea whats going on because i never watched it, i really wish i recorded it if i had known that info on it was going to be lost, but i think the plot that i ran into was something about Flying school? Also the TVOkids website in general was plain just my childhood, a website i sunk my time into alot especially in my earlier childhood years

[@skylynnessea2761]

@@kirbysuperstaruhh3769 flying school sounds familiar! Yeah I used to play on tvo kids a lot when I was young. I remember i checked up on it a few years back and was so disappointed when it was completely different. A lot of my favorite games were removed 😭

[@kirbysuperstaruhh3769]

@@skylynnessea2761 Oh yeah, the old tvo kids website was my crap i think two games i remember playing alot that remember enough about to be able to kinda describe them was this peep and the big wide world game about mixing colours to get the right one and another point and click type of game i vaguley remember about these two things (i cant recall if they were actual animals or creatures or something, its blurry in my mind) that live in this kinda den/cave which you could explore.

[@lostuser6410]

I remember playing flash games all the time when I was younger, I even remember having fun with Nickelodeon level builder and monkey quest, it’s sad that those two and so many more flash games are lost or unplayable. Also thanks for reminding me of the crazy good ad campaign

Hey, does anyone here remember Herotopia? I used to play it a ton when I was little and it was also made in Flash. I wonder if anyone has a backup

[@mothmanghost983]

I remember playing the Scribble Vision games on the Noggin website all the time and having an absolute blast. The levels of the Oobi one is especially vivid. From what I can recall from my memories of my gameplays, it basically followed a storyline of Oobi and his grandpa going on a camping trip of some sort. You would be tasked with scribbling in with a variety of colors over a drawing of an animal or object which would then be animated in to a sequence of the storyline. Specific drawings I remember include a rooster and fish. Sad that it is lost. I would love to have a chance to play it for old times sake.

[@JeffersonRadeon]

There was this 3D racing Flash game called Red Bull Soapbox Racer. It was a game where you could customize your car (soapbox) and create a track to race with other players. Sadly, the game became lost around the very late 2010s when the website of the game would now redirect you to the Red Bull website.

[@nesskeaton]

Great video as always! I'm pretty sure the pilot to one of my favorite animated tv show, The Venture Brothers, was done in flash. The animation is really jarring compared to the later season but the episode is so endearing. It's on the season one DVD but I can't remember if it's on HBO MAX or not.

That and Kingdom Hearts V-Cast may also reappear. Not a flash game but yeah.

[@hotaru8309]

There was a PowerPuff girls game that allowed you to create a music video using sound and animation clips that you placed on a film reel/ storyboard setup that I've searched for for almost two decades. Music included Signal in the Sky-o by Apples in Stereo and Shonen Knife's Buttercup song.

[@randomtinypotatocried]

It's crazy to think about quite a few of these I use to play a lot growing up and now they're gone

[@yiffytimes]

Can't believe you actually missed this. Near the end of his life Chuck Jones had his own website where you could watch animated shorts. I really can't say more than that as when I found the site it was already shutdown. The site hinted at all of Chuck Jones creations were represented, what was lost I really can't say.

[@TomTom-mf3sv]

I didn’t expect anyone to acknowledge Tamatown. I loved that website so much. The characters, artstyle, mini games and music are so nostalgic to me. Especially the music. It’s so sad that most of it is lost but I’m thankful for what has been recovered

Flashpoint is awesome and I definitely recommend downloading if you're a fan of Flash games! Fortunately a lot of my favorites were preserved through it. My favorites were the tower defense games like Warzone Tower Defense and Desktop Tower Defense. I also have a lot of nostalgia for the Neopets and Cartoon Network Flash games.

[@claras1401]

Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places, but I’ve been searching for this Speed Racer candy/push pop game game from the late 2000’s- nobody probably remembers it but I remember loving it.

[@hesiolite]

There's so much lost flash content. Games and animations that may never see the light of day again. A good example are Meteor Games. Basically Meteor Games was a small independent company that made pretty popular flash games and hosted them on Facebook. Their most well known ones are Paradise Island and Ranch Town. Other games like this include Rabbids Invasion as well as most games made by the developers of Galaxy Life. Also Crash Village which was a Crash Bandicoot MMORPG with mini games. And there's countless more flash games like this out there which are completely lost to time.

[@thetwistedsamurai]

Oh fuck. I literally just played a version of that Scooby Doo game with that cutscene you were talking about, RIGHT before flash died. I had no idea it would be sought after. I played all of the Scooby Doo flash games (in that genre, there’s about 3 of them) right before flash kicked the bucket.

Also the BBC walking with dinosaur/series flash video games.

[@MoeJama]

I remember the old Doctor Who flash games on the BBC website from around 2006. They tied into certain episodes, and while being simple strategy and puzzle games, they were still pretty fun. I first discovered them around New Year's 2017-2018, and at some point after that the entire game section was removed from the website when the brand was revamped for the Thirteenth Doctor era. Thankfully, all of the games have been preserved in BlueMaxima Flashpoint.

I remember playing a whole bunch of flash games around 2012-2016 when I was a little kid, I really saddened to find out that a lot of those games and animations are lost to the sands of time, at least the most popular ones seem to have been archived. Some of my favorites were The Batman (2004) flash game beat-em-up and the Agent P Phineas and Ferb Movie Game on the Disney Channel website along with the other Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Marvel, and Warner Bros. flash games.
