Lately I've been having a craving to play games, but nothing too high commitment like a massive RPG or anything since I've been pretty busy lately, so I've been playing some old flash games from my youth.
Unfortunately I've found a lot of them don't work, or have gated exclusive content to certain websites that don't even function properly anymore, but its nice when it works without hassle.
Right now I'm playing Epic War 1 and 2, Age of War, and recently finished up Sin Mark (suffers from the exclusive problem) and dropped Warlords because damn, its harder than I remembered, I must've went hard in beating that game as kid. Recently played The Last Stand 2 which was alright; wanted to play Gemcraft but way too much content was locked so I stopped.
Anyone got any great recommendations from the old days? (Or new ones too I guess, but the new ones I've seen so far look... off)
depends on what you want. I'm still trying to find a functional version of budapest defenders.
That being said, If you like twitch-reaction games, I can't recommend any of the robot unicorn attack games enough (at least the ones released on the website before being ported to mobile)
I actually bought the first one when it made it to android, and make a point of hunting down the apk whenever I get a new phone, lol.
edit: add the old "Pengu" games to that list. Also newgrounds has a front-end for their old flash stuff
oh, and if you dig around a little bit, you can usually find the "adobe flash projector," which was a standalone player they released for "debugging" purposes.
