RIP to all the flash games we’ve loved and lost. Gone but not forgotten.

[@Dumbeans]

They will be missed😢

[@gunkhead]

RIP. Good news is a good portion has been archived from what I remember, there's been a project trying to restore flash games, don't know the name but I hope it's doing good. Also a way to re download flash I believe

[@wrenwry]

@@gunkhead yep, Flashpoint Archive and some other groups/individuals have done amazing conservation work saving flash games and animations

[@polocatfan]

​@@gunkhead99% of the (non-online) games people cared about are archived

[@RandomPerson964]

The games aren't gone, browsers aren't supporting flash by default. You've always been able to download and play flash games offline, unless there's some arbitrary restriction imposed by developers/publishers.

[@MarioGMan25]

See the fact that Poptropica managed to get a god damn DS game is wild as hell.

[@diorcool5692]

the poptropica ds game being the same as the internet game was the craziest thing

[@CaveDDECanem]

​@@diorcool5692wait seriously? What about all the clothing options and purchaseables? The super hero city? Big Nate? What was it like????

[@screenedat0m]

⁠​⁠@@CaveDDECanemas far as the ingame purchasable, I think those were just removed. The superhero city and Big Nate may have been in the DS game but I could be mixing it up with the website? It’s pretty similar, just an offline version of the website basically (:

[@CaveDDECanem]

@@screenedat0m that's really cool! Makes me wanna go back and play the older versions. I miss being able to just jump on after a long day at school

[@tux_duh]

I remember in my 5th grade math class if you finished your work early there were three computers and everyone raced to play cool math games. Fire boy and water girl, johnny upgrade, burger run, catch the candy, and run were all the most popular. I literally grinded duck life 3 every time i could, i was obsessed with it.

[@SerialDesignationAaliya]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@arandomguy9739]

I remember one day, my school decided to ban cool math games because it wasn’t “educational” and we all ended up having to switch over to hooda math, before that eventually got banned too. As you can tell, my school hated fun.

[@anon1963]

1984

[@prometheus9732]

My school banned it as well. My childhood days are over.

[@dirtyslurricane]

Did you go to my school 😂

[@lukedanyi]

the games are probably more educational than what they teach in the american school system

[@coralmaplegaming7808]

We had to go on entire manhunts to find new ways to play games. Once we had to share a link to a google download so we could download a new wondow going to a coding website where we would run a specific code that would load up google.

Darn, can she help me too? /J

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

The final battle against the Supreme Duck in the Duck Life game got me introduced to Domo-kun (or simply Domo), the famous Japanese mascot of the public broadcast, NHK. I never knew that the enemy in the game is mascot until watching the stop-motion Domo shorts.

[@twindrill2852]

I remember Domo merch and memes being everywhere in the 2000s and early 2010s, it’s a shame they’re only a product of the early internet nowadays.

[@infamouscheezit9088]

Something I doubt anyone remembers is the Cool Math Games store. It was like their own Eshop but instead they just hosted some pretty cool games and let people play a demo and then the whole thing for real money. It’s where I found Ittle Dew 2 and Another Perspective. Genuinely miss that thing, even though I can probably find both games on steam.

[@headphonesaxolotl]

Someone finally remembers Wheely exists... That was my first grade experience and in 2nd everyone was trying to speedrun the 4th game. Also 3:13 I love how this meme pops up RIGHT as I'm replaying Planet Life for the third time. It's my yearly tradition now! (And there is Planet life Lore, but none outside of what happens in the story. It wraps up all it's plot holes, pretty literally for how you restart your run :P)

[@theonly_august]

Agreed, Wheely was a core memory for everyone in the 1st grade! I played them all multiple times😂

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

The Wheely series is underrated, but I would like to mention about the Vehicle series, which the protagonists are the police car, an ambulance, and a fire truck.

[@epiccoolguy06]

Trying to remember the wheely games is like trying to remember a fever dream, it was a big part of my childhood though fs

[@BreaksBee]

@@poweroffriendship2.0 i remember those weren't they russian? anyways yeah like all characters were all super mad or something and you had to push them off

[@smallcat848]

seeing the face get more & more concerned at the mention of papa's games is genuinely amazing lol

[@andreworders7305]

12:53 yes, Cut The Rope has surprisingly extensive lore if you count the shorts

[@HitSpaceGD]

I watched the shorts years ago. The first three seasons were great but after that it fell off. I checked the Cut the Rope games a while back and it had SEVENTEEN seasons. SEVENTEEN. I have no idea how it lasted that long, and honestly, I don't wanna know.

[@bluemoonstation]

When you mentioned Poptropica I got so excited. I definitely think it deserves its own video. Poptropica was one of my favorites to play in the computer lab.

[@blumoo9938]

same here! they always blocked it as a games website though :(

[@karynwesryn]

Love how we come together to joke about shared experiences through Choopo. Faking doing math through CMG was a like kid’s introductory to hacking haha.

[@BasicViewer]

I'm fairly certain that "There Is No Game" was released much earlier than 2020. You likely found the date for "There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension" which was a sequel. It's a great game... err... Non-game.

[@FloridaManGaming]

Yeah, There Is No Game definitely came out earlier than 2020

[@mat_tails]

it came out 2015

[@twomanywalls]

​@matt_tails do you mean didn't come out?

[@skeleton819]

coolmath games is just the grand master of childhood nostalgia. I loved it so much

[@woomiiakarandomveemo5933]

the bart bonte games (ball factory, sugar sugar (i think), the color puzzle games, maybe farafalla?, etc.) could probably be lumped together, they tend not to have stories but they’re worth a mention at least as a collective.

[@yellobb3848]

Gosh those were my favorites

[@drpicklephd]

i'm glad your channel ended up being recommended to me! you're witty in a way i don't think i've seen before, your commentary is so fun to listen to, and i can't wait to watch more! sick ass video man

[@marafrass]

Loved the retrospective! I'm "marafrass", the developer of CoolmathGames The Game, and seeing the game I made together with the team at the site referred to as "the last major point in the timeline" was really nice. Keep up the good work!

[@gracekim1998]

Whoa 😮 thank you for creating cool things on this cool website ❤

[@ashesandroses7485]

One of my favorite memories is playing Snail Bob on the family computer and figuring out the puzzles. Thank you for this video :)

[@comicalace]

some games that i loved as a kid (that you didn't mention) were orb, meeblings, ninja painter, ball factory, and sugar, sugar. I also was obsessed with papa's freezeria, run, and duck life. Coolmathgames is goated and all the soundtracks are incredible (especially orb and the world's hardest game) I also remember playing farafalla once and thinking it was cool, but I can't remember the plot

[@variablecheesecake]

i played sugar, sugar so much! was looking for someone mentioning it

I miss Coolmath, I remember playing papa's games, bloons, learn to fly, and duck life in classes when teachers gave us free time. I don't visit it any more because of Flash's discontinuation so I can't play any of the good games anymore.

[@FloridaManGaming]

They're slowly converting the flash games into html (I think it's html anyway) so that they're playable again

[@ImTired17]

For some reason I was OBSESSED with Red Ball during my early days of elementary school. It was all I could think about for a while.

The lack of Ninja Painter and Factory Ball is a true crime

Love the video man I think you should take another look at Planet Life because it starts as a simple charming idle game and over the course of the game turns into a weird fever dream and it is one of my favorite games in Cool math games

[@Zephyriar]

Congrats man 🎉 you deserve all 100k of us, thanks for all the hard work. Can't wait to see your vid on space chimps

the Learn to Fly series is arguably still some of my favorite games. i complete it and the sequel like once per year lmfao.

So happy he mentioned wheely, one of my favorite flash games ever

[@Thecatontheinternet749]

Fun fact: There is no game is actually the demo for the most unique popular indie game Wrong Dimension

[@brennadryl]

I always loved the logic games - like Me and The Key, Factory Balls, 40 escape, etc. Would love a video about these!

[@joobahob]

Omg FACTORY BALLS. You just reminded me of how much I freaking loved that game

[@mausammehta2080]

I rediscovered my childhood games through your video, bravo! Now just need to see a lore video for funbrain games and my middle school online game experience will be complete.

[@eliwirtz]

Blud is the first guy to talk about wheely i am shedding tears of joy😂

[@Shadowluigi-pj9nq]

I honestly loved this site when I was at school, buuuut I could never understand what any of the games had to do with maths

[@alexiiconner]

righttt

[@connorbeith3232]

Kinda surprised Coolmath hasn't considered making a fighting/kart crossover game with these characters on their site, though I'm sure these games have different rights. Also pls do a Cut The Rope video, there's tons of games and a long-running web series (the live-action and superhero seasons are my favorites).

[@DaveTheOrderly]

Binged the Papa's Games Lore and then you upload again! this channel makes me feel really nostalgic

One of my favourite cool math games was sticky Ninja, not sure if it’s still playable but I recommend checking it out.

[@YoshiCh1ef-je6me]

Those haunting flashbacks to the papa's Pizzeria video was too relatable

[@Chubby_Bub]

Oddly enough, the hidden memory this unlocked in me was not any of the games but the fact that chinchillas are a thing that exist

[@kayleeholt0712]

My school blocked cool math when i was in 7th grade and it was so sad. A whole gen of kids will never know goofing off on cool math because of blocks and flash being dead😭

[@deedgemaster]

What a really great video to celebrate for a such a great and gooberistic milestone. I’ve been noticing really that there’s a lack of a video on certain singing monsters, so maybe… just maybe… that video could be a possible new idea for the ol choopo thinkin machine? Great video nonetheless, just an idea, and congrats on 100K ❤️

Poptropica is probably the only game that you have mentioned that I actually played as a child.

[@PhoxphorusKitKat]

I kinda always wondered like what kind of contract or agreement you sign to allow Coolmathgames to like use your OCs and games in their memes and promotional stuff. I'm sure it's nothing that big and the developers are okay with it but it's a thing I wonder sometimes.

[@cherryberry5315]

Oh my gosh, you are hilarious. :D your content always picks Mr up when I'm feeling down and you make interesting video topics. Please don't stop, you're doing great! Xx

[@raccoon2968]

The game I use to play was a game called Dino run. Then suddenly one day it was gone and I looked for it endlessly until I found it on a random website and ahh I was happy again. It was a cute pixel art game of this yellow small Dino that you played as and your goal was to keep on running and avoid the Debri/upcoming disaster from the meteor that hit earth. The ending was always so cool. I love that game and forever will. I recommend people give it a look

[@Twinklethefox9022]

I mainly played meeblings, bloon tower defense, various papa Louie games, duck life, gluey, bloxr and many more. Also has anyone played primary games as a kid? Its like cool math games but, they don't try to hide that it's not educational. Mainly had a lot of multiple player games (I can't think of the name exactly but like animal jam or frank town)

He had attacked the flash games that logic did not even interfere. He's the most nostalgic gamer in the world. He has played the games that are cursed. He has played Fireboy and Watergirl He's the something that rhymes with -erd.

[@saddlebag]

Yes, that’d be amazing!

[@gamesandglory1648]

and than they decided that flashpoint would not be allowed to make their games work after the death of flash (flashpoint preserved 10s of thousands of games) and that they (nitrome) would convert them to html5, they converted like 4 games only, and none of the really good ones imo.

[@saddlebag]

@@gamesandglory1648 I know you weren’t being literal when you said “4”, but they’ve actually converted 62 of their games. When was the last time you checked?

You forgot to mention one important thing in the video, CMG pulled an SNL on us and MADE A FRICKIN MOVIE OUT OF ONE OF THEIR IPS!!! The movie was released a few months ago and was made by a little known entertainment called “Disney” and one of their super obscure animation studios called “PIXAR”. It’s called Elemental and it’s a gender-swapped animated film adaptation of Fireboy and Watergirl. It’s actually a great movie and dare I say one of the best movies of this year so far. Man, between Elemental, the Mario movie, the upcoming FNaF movie, the new DnD movie, the Barbie movie by Christopher Nolan, and the Robert J Oppenheimer movie by Greta Gerwig, 2023 has sure been a great year for movie adaptations of video games and toys! 😉

[@thecluckster3908]

One of my personal favorites is big tower tiny square and it’s 5 game series

[@dekucake]

Quick tip for Johnny Upgrade: when the boss is doing that volley of shots, don't jump around, just stand directly underneath them and follow them around and you'll avoid getting hit, jumping just moves the boss up, causing their bullets to be very jumbled and all over the place.

[@Nanayayy]

@@iexist1300 Yeah there is a sequel. It’s sent in a different area and plays pretty much the same minus a couple of new mechanics. And when I wrote the original comment I didn’t know that Bronze Age is basically a better version of the original Stone Age. So technically Bronze Age is in fact a sequel to Stone Age. Anyway if you care at all the developer, Clarus Victoria, sells an HD version of Bronze Age on steam along with a remastered version of Marble Age.
