I grew up playing these flash games as a kid. I even uploaded numerous "let's play" videos of me playing through many games in this collection all the way back in 2014, including a declaration that "I'm an Achievement Hunter!" before my Steam account even existed. 10 years ago now. I kind of can't believe that I have all of these videos on the internet of me as a kid, playing video games, attempting to commentate. In the videos linked above, for some reason I (poorly) pretend as though I have no idea what's going on and am playing these games for the first time, but the reality is, I had repeatedly played some of these games as far back as 2010 at the very latest. So to revisit these games, which I haven't thought about in such a long time, was honestly kind of emotional, especially with all of the humble developer notes throughout this collection.

Putting all of these classics back together, remastered and with Steam achievements, in today's post-Flash era, is important. Flash game preservation is already really great, but the next generation won't be growing up with them like I did. And that's really sad, because I have a lot of great memories playing tons of bite-sized Flash games as a kid. I spent countless hours on Armor Games, Not Doppler, Addicting Games, Newgrounds, Kongregate, Cool Math Games, Ninja Kiwi, Nitrome, Miniclip... there were so many wonderful games put out on these websites, and I'm thankful that the internet has put so much thought and care into archiving these old creations before their demise in 2020 when Adobe killed its own ecosystem. And I'm thankful that John Cooney, aka jmtb02, has put together this collection so that we can replay these classic games again with a better presentation than ever. Not one of these games is a bore, not one of these games is a slog to play, they are all as fun as I remember them being and even more clever than I could comprehend throughout my childhood.

9/10
