Let's talk about webgame. If you were a 00s kid and had a computer then you for sure played a lot of web games, or you're lying or you had no childhood. Web games were ftw because they were free, and free = best price for games. What were your favorites etc?

I tried doing the pokemon battles in neopets once. During the battle you could send chat messages along with taking your turn so I would quote sephiroth's coolest lines or whatever, I was 14. But the person I was battling called me mean for doing that, so I apologized. Turned out they were a 30-something mom, and they became my first and only neofriend.

I was a big runescape head. My cousin from Australia showed me when we were 7 years old and I played it off and on until I was about 13 lol. To this day I still spin it up and play for a while when I'm nostalgic. It was technically not a free game but you better believe i got a lot of mileage out of the F2P stuff as a kid. At the time it was cheap enough that it was fairly easy to convince even my broke rear end parents to pay for it sometimes.

I played Runescape as well and my only real memories of it are mining a lot and upon logging in seeing a guy in full plate armor walking away and saying "Oh no, a noob!"

we played Candystand mini-golf basically everyday in study hall for a year then when 9/11 happened, we all refreshed the homepage of CNN.com over and over that day to follow the news, before getting bored and switching over to making obscene drawings on public Inklink games

I was obsessed with neopets as a kid, although all I really remember now is that Kacheeks, whose name I just had to look up, were my favorite species and that I had one of the dogs too. Also big into RuneScape, I don’t think I even really liked the actual game all that much but it was cool to have a free browser game that I could play with my friends

Mine were the Bori, the cute armadillos, who I think at the time were like, the least popular neopet that was publically available.

I played a game called Popamundo with my friend where you pretend to be a musician in a band. Our band was a punk band called The Communihilists which was based on us being 13 and learning about both of those things in social studies. And maybe I had seen the big Lebowski at the time.

I also played a ton of Motherlode over at xgengames. It was a really fun game, my favorite Flash game by far. There's a remake you can download on PS3 (and maybe PS4?) and it's a fun way to kill a few hours. Edit: Also got into the Ball Revamped series, which was a weird physics-based game where you bounced a ball around. In the fourth or fifth game you fight one of the bosses from Smash Bros. The guy who made them, JMTB02, did some cool stuff with Flash. FactsAreUseless fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Jan 27, 2021 |

I just looked up the guys arrhythmia was talking about and don’t recognize them though so I guess he was on a little more recently than I was. I was obsessed with that game, I have no idea why I barely remember any of it now, even allowing for the fact that it’s been nearly 20 years

Neopets was a site that housed dozens of games. My favorite Neopets games were Meerca Chase, Cheat! and Neoquest. I liked that tank game a lot. I also played a lot of bad NewGrounds games that have blurred together on me now.

There was one website we used to go to in high school that was mostly Java games I think. I played a bunch of one of them on there. It was a shmup where you moved with the mouse and everything was made out of simple shapes but it felt really satisfying to play. I don’t remember the name of the site or the game. cheers

Loved Gunbound, played it a ton with my brother. Also when I was like 12, I played an MMO called Graal Online that was basically LttP with multiplayer. Guy hit me with a yo momma joke and responded "lol good" when I pretended she was dead to make him feel bad and I was genuinely scandalized even though my mom was still alive.

there were a bunch of really cool japanese flash games called dismantlement where you would have to take apart something like an alarm clock or a hard drive or a hamburger with just a screwdriver, but they would all turn out to be zero escape style puzzles with secret clues hidden everywhere and when you got to the bottom you had to defuse a bomb. those were kinda the twilight era of flash games though, i spent most of my middle school days playing whatever euro platformer crap was on shockwave.com like fat boy raids the cookie factory and some runescape here and there

I played a lot of this game called Battletanks where you were supposed to go around in this top down environment and shoot other people who were tanks, but instead I just towed around blocks to make bridges all the time. I have no idea what happened to this game because there's a dozen other lovely webgames called Battletanks out there.
