About a decade ago I held another account with reviews and games I bookmarked.

In that game, the list of impressive games have gradually dwindled to something smaller; Either because of the impending end of flash, or the crowd of old web users getting significantly older.

You can play some of these with the ruffle CHROME EXTENSION

Here's a list of cool games and accounts I thought were pretty impressive for their time (in no particular order):

1- PAULHTML5 :

This guy makes impressive HTML5 games; which at the time (2011), not many people could run well. the outrun and doom clones are my favourite. (3d pacman too)

2-Secret Base:

They made a few indie games I liked, notably Bytejacker with its sleek presentation. I hated it at the time for its inclusive indie game nods, but it grew on me eventually; a lot of work when into it.They also made Tobe's hookshot

3-IntMain:

One of my favourite games; SuperPuzzlePlatformer was made by this fella. He also has a website That may or may not be still around at AndrewMorris.net

4-Jamus-SE:

I've poured a ton of hours into Ronin: Spirit of the Sword; Its this 80s Dungeon Crawler RPG Clone. it was one of the games that got around flash's limitations, it was also really well done. I don't really care much for the dated henty drawings, but it was probably done for the clout back then in 2003. (Hard to say). Excellent game 5/5

5- RissKiss:

I had to move back home in Autumn 2011; when I did I wanted to make a football game cuz fuck idk; RissKiss beat me to it with SuperStarFootball. It didnt run very well at the time and left something to be desired, but I grew up with a small undesirable percentage of sports games, wondering how they were programmed (like Ascii pro moves soccer), so this impressed me, for what it did with its limitations

6- MoFunZone:

If you remember Starcraft Madness UMS maps, Miragine War plays very similar to those; you pick a bunch of units to prepare, and send them toward the enemy base; its a lot like the Overmind/Madness UMS games from starcraft bnet.

7- FreeAsNerd:

I didnt really like Fixation at the peak of the indie game hype, but the loading screen and the blocks disappearing from cigarette smoke make for an interesting game, although stay away from it , if indie game tropes aren't your thing.

8- Pigpen:

There aren't many games like SpriteSmash where I can play as either Jack from FightClub, or Light Yagami from Death note. I didnt get very far but fwiw its a funny game.

9- Raitendo:

FreeWill has a neat mechanic. His joke indie game knock offs came out during a time when people were sick of the hype surrounding them?? something like that. I had a giggle idk

10-LIDGAMES:

HandHeldVG, was too meta for me; you break out of a gameboy near the end, (SPOILERS). I forgothow though.

As time went on, the list of cool games kinda dwindled, and more of the concentrated games without gimmicks or heavy NG lore would go to kongregate, but as flash is slowly coming back, sites like orisinal and picapic (LED tiger game simulator site which isnt working) are making a tiny resurgence, although not like it once was during their heyday.

This isn't a top10 list of great games -- Don't go looking for your favourites: Abobo, SmashFest etc aren't listed cuz that game already rules and couldn't impress me any further if it tried. These are games that personally inspired or intrigued me.

I'd later go on to make my own Contra Clone, Tetris Clone, and an ActionRPG with a rewind function (which Ive reuploaded several times with much shame involved), inspired by the authors above

So whatever.
