I remembered when flash ‘died’ and thought all of that was just lost history. Turns out there are translation layers that sites (e.g., new grounds) are running, and you can run flash games of the 2000s on your phone today. Kind of crazy that a) I’m still able to see flash uploaded in 2000 and b) I remember some of the games now, 26 years later.


I was often on dialup for a long time and it was infuriating to visit a website and discover a 10MB (or more) flash website. Modern web technologies were initially much better. Now webpages are enormous.
