Hey everyone, if you don’t know me i’m making the Museum of Screens, a project dedicated to preserve the history of games on the Internet: Flash, Browser MMO, etc…
I’m always interested in hearing about older web games I wasn’t aware of. So I wanted to make a thread to ask you, what are your favorite Flash games you feel like you are the only one remembering?
Like me I loved the Flash game Enough Plumbers and its sequel, I’d love to see a new take on the gameplay
I don’t know how obscure it is, but I just spent a few minutes trying to rediscover the name of a puzzle platformer I was impressed by back in the day. It’s called Continuity.
Territory War Online. Online multiplayer turn based worms-like game where the environment is destructible and each team is a bunch of stick men. Apparently they’ve restored online play by some wizardry
Back in the day, people would create little gaming guilds and organize tournaments. There were all sorts of neat little tricks and cheap grenade throws you could do turn one to immediately set up an advantage. Since the world was destructible it felt like there was always some way to get an upper hand even if you couldn’t reach your opponent. There were even a few strategies to set up a platform of a few pixels making you pretty immune to grenade lobs since there was no where for them to land, but super risky since you wouldn’t be able to move anywhere. Good amount of maps to play on, was really neat.
I really like the GROW series by EYEMAZE but I feel like it’s not in the “lesser known” category 
Oh, I just remembered Frutiparc by MotionTwin, it didn’t last very long and was full of money traps (If I remember it correctly) but the social aspect was one of my first experience of this kind. Mention spéciale for the snake game included.
Oooh I loved all the eyezmaze games. My favorite has to be the number pad whack a mole thing though, I played that one a ton.
Aaand I thought of another one! Incredibots! Was basically just a physics sandbox, had a cool community, lot of people made really neat machines and rube goldberg stuff. Some people set up games and mechanical computer-like things.
Oiligarchy! Think Turmoil but more political and you have to bribe the government to ignore environmental damage and get tax breaks
oooh yeah molleindustria is a classic
A spooky one.. Two.. For this Hallow’s Eve. Exmortis. This is a duology of horror point-and-clicks that heavily takes from the atmosphere of old horror movies. Evil Dead, Poltergeist, The Exorcist, and the like. It’s pretty cheesy and the twists and turns are kind of iffy, but the atmosphere of the second game with encroaching horror on all sides as a main theme of the story just keeps me intensely interested.

Just be prepared to read, the books and notes you find around the place are pretty thick with prose. And Jumpscare/Gore/General warning.
I’m not sure what flash games people are remembering these days, but back then I remember loving World of Dreams. It’s the only one I downloaded (long before flash deprecation was announced) because I got worried when it left some of the big sites.
It’s a simple but weird linear platformer. Each stage has a distinct feel. I liked the music.
OOHHH boy, this is great ! I remember these. Used to play so many flashgames - i still revisit some of them every now and then.
