I remember that day, when news told that Apple wouldn't allow Flash.. I remember thinking, that was the beginning of the end.
Yes, it was proprietary, and all of that, but it was really, really good for its time, and it's still good. So much culture.. So much zeitgeist. Locked into files of that era.
Thank you so much for sharing!
ESPN also used to have great flash games. they had one where you'd skate on the roofs of houses and one where you had a BMX game that I think had a racing version and a freestyle version.
These days the official website redirects to their YouTube channel which I feel is very sad. There used to be places for kids on the internet, now everything is heading towards major platforms which I honestly feel is going to be damaging the youth in the long term.
There's also a few on the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_flash_unsorted?t...
(In case the OP also made you think of Teen Titans Battle Blitz for the first time in 20 years)
That was my entire computer class in 9th grade.
(that and harrassing teachers with netsend)
Sadly, these two seem to be missing
The summer resort games (iirc one big trade quest) were nice too.
And then I was blocked by Cloudflare, even though there were no Cloudflare scripts to enable (checking in an alternate browser).
edit: It looks like uBlock origin sees the cloudflare scripts, but NoScript does not (and did not display 3 scripts) initially. I'll have to try again later.
Looks like there's a wikipedia page about them:

Oh wow, archive.org took a snapshot of my old website that put them online after the Stan Lee people went broke. :)

Right click -> "Enter fullscreen" works pretty well.
It wasn't really a game in the TCG sense, but more of a collecting/bartering game similar to the Grand Exchange in Runescape.
There isn't much surviving media of it since people rarely recorded game footage back then, but someone made a website of it with some screenshots:

(Sadly, it doesn't have any screenshots of the trading screen, which was the fun part)
Good times.
they had a really good fighter jet game back in the day.
I'd forgotten a bunch of those shows, like Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.
Anyone remember what happened to Steppenwolf and the other games? I do not remember the publisher, I think WB?
I hope they can restore the cartoon cartoon summer resort games.
Or possibly I just miss being a teenager. Or some combination
It was my first experience with what became known as Ambient Games...
