What ended the golden age of browser games? Late 90s-mid 2000s

Why does the internent seem so much less creative now?

It never changed, you just got older.

I fapped to this shit so much back in the day and I dom't even remember why, shit was so softcore

Newgrounds and places like it are objectively more shit than they use to be.

i miss meet N fuck games since the glory days...

Because nowadays you can play fucking everything in your computer, coupled with the fact that Flash games were almost considered as an alternative to actual games

Realism killed gaming. Now all they have to do is scan a model and outsource everything else

Mobile games and micro transactions.

They moved to app stores and Steam, and you have to buy them now

Higher standards m8
As a kid I used to go through all kinds of routes to avoid the "you must be 18 to access this site" page purely so I wouldn't be lying

The first time I saw tits it nearly blew my mind, and at night I used to stay up late hiding in the basement just to watch girls gone wild infomercials

No it is less creative. By now, most everything has been done and everyone is in their cliques. Not much room for creativity, anymore. That is compounded by this "diversity and pseudo-realism" wave that is over-taking everything. Now the fantasy that produces creativity is "racist and bigotry" so you aren't allowed to be creative and have fun anymore. Everything MUST be realistic and diverse. We are being forced into a very boring and grey world.

because now you have things like unity

why make your own custom creation in flash when you can do it in unity and still be able to post it online for others to play in your browser regardless but also be used in platforms as well.

I'm sorry but Internet gaming was NEVER creative, for every good flash game out there i could easily find 1000 that were shit.

Its one of the things where Sturgeon's law applies best. Although no one bothers with Flash games anymore because not only back then they were developed for computers who couldn't keep up with console games but they have been replaced with Mobile gaming and their microtransactions

As i said earlier in this thread, Flash games were big years ago because they were a legitimate alternative for gaming in general and for those who couldn't afford a console. There are no reason for them to exist anymore

>more technology
>more shit

Yep. Popularity and ease of access killed the scene. Lowest common denominator and all that jazz.

Not all browsers games were in flash.

Flash was simply the most popular platform of delivery.

A good one was BET after dark and all the semi nudity with the rap videos

>childhood jungle fever

Kek

Skinamax always and forever

I never had BET
I just watched STAR and Showcase, also the occasional movie on the TV guide that had "Nudity" or "strong sexual content" in the description

I've seen a lot of obscure B-movies as a kid

It's due the advent of the smartphone in 2007. Right around peak internet accessibility and the release of the first iPhone. That was the turning point. Suddenly the internet is in everyone's pockets, and the entire culture surrounding the Internet changes drastically.

Make usenet great again

I never even bothered with that. You can find anything online in a second.

There is this weird appeal of those completely softcore "porn but not porn at all" flicks though. The ones where everything is just a porno plot but nobody actually openly fucks, just weird half-naked grinding at most.

You're just a racist boy that never left the suburbs. Don't worry, commercial expansion brings people of color to you.

Boo hoo
Your racist echo chamber is slowing going away.

It's wonderful isn't it. Racism is becoming so popular that you can't even hear an echo anymore. It's the default again. :^)

Leaf cuck detected LMFAO

Who wants to play interstellar crisis? That game is still around.

For years I've been looking for the one Shockwave game where in a top town view of yo a saucer shape ship on an alien plant. Had power ups, exploration, amazing visuals for the time, and great enemy variety.

get the fuck out you fucking retards, you just had to ruin the thread with your stupid shit

pls contribute to the thread instead of bitching about 2 shitposters

Here I'll help sweetie. Give me some classic flash gmars

Would anyone happen to remember a game where you'd hack pseudo-forums in the flash game? It was very entertaining but I couldn't finish it or remember its name

They were good up until shit like steam became popular or youtube started giving them cash for their flash.
