The Rise And Fall Of GirlsGoGames

[@__lowkeycrayz__6185]

My favorite game on girlsgogames was the “School flirting game” that was completely in Japanese and allowed me to shoot lasers at the boys’ heads 👍

[@missgalaxia14]

bruh, I LOVED that game so much. Made me realize I'm a bit of a possessive/jealous person in relationships

[@goesaroundandaround293]

those games are playable on gamenora!

[@essiyah2705]

The music in that game was also so good

[@katziliaf]

And you had to battle other girls for the boys. And if you "zapped them enough" you basically had a trail of ghost-lovers trailing up behind you, with different types of boys. Holy shit...one type was even in a relationship. If you had enough power, you could rip a bound man from his gf.

[@naraku971]

And when people want to resurrect them to “modernize” them they barely resemble the originals.

[@Sick_Boy]

That's true about every previous decade until now, really.

[@MitsyWuzHere]

Most games of value have been backed up. And you can either run flash (I highly recommend you not) or wait for the Ruffle project to finish for you to play them

[@ShadeATV]

@@naraku971 Like the VIP Pets. All that remained was the personalities.

[@naraku971]

@@ShadeATV I'm talking like media in general, like sometimes all that remains of things is a name or a personality, and for some reason people working in certain industries like to change something about a character that makes them iconic and then they'll go on and say something like "it's modern," or "diversity", and then attack people who don't like it, it's like people are allowed to not like something...

[@GargoylePrincess]

I feel like what’s the saddest about this is that it’s such a unique experience growing up in the olden days of shitty flash games. It’s something that will probably never be recreated ever again (not really a bad thing though cause we’re all fucked). It’s just a rare experience that you will never understand unless you spent hours on your nasty old computer that could only run shitty flash games cause if you did anything more it would explode

What's especially sad is that I was one of the few kids who actually played these flash games at my age, I still have the save files from my Steven Universe and Warrior cats paper doll OCs, so old that I made a pink diamond character because canonically she didn't exist yet. Nobody my age remembers games like Animal jam and the water park games because they were too busy playing Roblox and Minecraft. I kinda wish I was born earlier because I can't relate to many people's childhoods, which makes me feel lonely when thinking about how fun these games used to be.

"Why did a flash game site targeted at tween girls start petering off in the 2010's?" The 3DS, which was the next (and last) in the DS line, which was the most popular line of video game consoles among young girls, came out and so did Animal Crossing New Leaf, which was (at the time) the newest installment in a franchise that was also massively popular among young girls. It was also when we would get the pokemon games with the fairy-typing, themes of fashion, and introduction of a nintendogs-like gameplay mechanic. I think what happened was that the mainstream video gaming market just ended up striking a chord with young girls at that moment in time.

[@Narwhal39]

(not talking about tween girls specifically but) the DS and 3DS were extremely popular in their own right but flash game sites had the advantage of having wide catalogs of free games.

I remember playing some game with a puppy, it was like a rottweiler puppy and you had to take care of him but he got older and his care routine was different as he aged and finally a very emotional song played and it was a black screen with "PETS ARE MORE THAN ANIMALS THEY'RE FOREVER FRIENDS" and that just made me cry, i was traumatized for a week 😭

As someone who was there til the end, they were removing a lot of social aspects, like achievements and the customizeable avatars to place in stock pictures and the home feed, and creativity saving mechanics, like the gallery and save states, which made a lot of people start leaving. And then it pretty much died off the moment they removed login access which was the final straw for those who had stayed. They removed a lot of crowd favorite mmorpg games because of the login removal, and they were deleting good games even before that to make room for the more disturbing content. People left because the owners tried to make it less prone to being sued or reported, yanno, 'child friendly' claims, yet added more and more disturbing and disgusting content.

man, the timeline starting at 2012 makes me feel like a fosssilllll of a gen-z. when i was a tween/middle schooler, the main sites i tended to go to for dressup games were deviantart, rinmaru games, and of course doll divine, though that was somewhat later period (late middle school, early high school). before even that, the myscene, barbie, and polly pocket official websites had some really fun flash games that i would spend hours playing (this probably would have been around 2005/2006ish, maybe 2007). there were a lot of like...harry potter, goth, "emo" themed dress-up games that i liked to play, probably between 2008-2010ish--which, you know, not overly earlier than that, but i feel like with the release of tangled and frozen, the landscape of content changed a lot. anyways, i love your videos so much! your internet history stuff is always so fascinating, and really close to stuff i experienced first hand. thanks for all you do!!

[@FileCode1459]

the barbie and polly games were so much fun too!! do you remember about a franchise similar to barbie called MyScene? i was obsessed with them but they were way less popular than barbie so almost no one knows about them

I was expecting her to start at 2000-2001.

[@f.amadis3338]

@@FileCode1459 I LOVED the Myscene games! That one "makeover" and the room decoration game used to amuse me for hours on end :')

This shit is why I know I'm a millenial lmao because by 2012 I was already in high school. My 'flash' gaming experience ranges from Shockwave in 2001/2002 to flash in like 2009. I still played flash games in high school, but like I was going back and playing older games I enjoyed, not seeking out new ones. Everyone loves the old Barbie games ofc, but I also miss the more obscure stuff that didn't survive the test of time like some of the old DivaStarz games (afaik only one got preserved) and WhatsHerFace.

[@sophiamarion1812]

Omg the barbie official website

[@lunarose5226]

Does anyone remember the Japanese game on the site where you played a girl who went around zapping boys and they followed you about until the time limit ran out ?? And then you sometimes had to battle girls to get the guy?? Those games were INCREDIBLE. Soundtracks of the century

[@LiterallyScarecrow]

Yessss and you had a bunch of guys just floating behind you with heart eyes. That was the best!!!!

[@doodlejone6546]

Yes I used to love that game lmao

[@lunarose5226]

That game was the only time my lesbian arse genuinely wanted a guy to like me (for all of about 2 mins)

[@nexway9173]

YES it was in the one screenshot at the beginning under “flirting at school” I played that RELIGIOUSLY XD

Pony Adventure, Animals In The City, Professor Purse and Bomb It were my jams Also, anyone remember a game (I think it was korean) where you would help a little girl go through her day? She had black hair and there was a boy that looked very similar to her. They even had a ballet game together

[@lhvy5066]

I LOVED THAT KOREAN GAME it was sooo relaxing, I wasn't even that little when playing it but it was like idk, perfection for me

My mom was a beta tester and gamer so I grew up watching her play, and my sister and I had a (really old) computer in our room that my mom built. We grew up playing frogger, speedy eggbert, orbz, think tanks, and insane aquarium. We learned a love of puzzles and creative problem solving from watching my mom play games with those elements, and I genuinely seek out puzzles and puzzle games to this day. So the idea that being a “girl gamer” wasn’t the norm was pretty funny to me when I first heard it. I mean, my dad is hopeless at games, while my mom was solving puzzles and finding exploits to help developers.

[@kumatorahaltmanndreemurr]

My mom isn’t a gamer, but she helped me figure out the solutions to puzzles when I played Portal 2 as a kid. I also wound up being a puzzle game enthusiast :)

I loved all of the Sue and devilish games, especially the sue potion making one, the sue timing one where you select the body parts, and the devilish clothes making one. It was hard because sue games weren’t in English, but I loved trying to figure out what I was supposed to do. I totally forgot how much I crushed on Gwen when I was 9. That was my girl!

[@alicebthegachaweirdo8378]

I really loved the Sue games as well! My personal favourite was the potion game.

I loved the Sue game where she had to eat snacks without getting caught lol

[@aminaj.7032]

I liked the music video maker one, Sue Toys and hairdresser 1,2 and 3. I especially *loved* Sue Toys because of the song that played at the end, so I'd play the game just to hear the song. 🥺🥺🥺🥺

I was *addicted* to the weird “princess pregnancy” games, to the point that my mom had to block the site on our family computer… those were the days.

[@samsalamander8147]

My Daughter used to play some pretty weird dress up games on that site and one had a pregnant lady I thought it was strange but never stopped her from any media she wanted to interact with I thought if I kept her away or showed aversion she would want to do it more so I just always pretended things like that where no big deal. She was obsessed with chuckie because I said it was anoying and didn’t like it she was oppositional like that when she was little she still is sometimes at 15

DUDE!!!!! papa's games were my entire childhood. i can't express how much i loved it and when i heard adobe flash was no longer supported, i was so upset bc i couldn't play most of the ggg and agk games anymore. i *could* buy it in playstore but still, playing it on my laptop just adds to the experience yk
