I was on the younger side so it was mostly flash game and animation sites. Homestar runner, albinoblacksheep, miniclip, addicting games, runescape.

Miniclip and addicting games were so good! Those were simpler times for sure.

Shout out to XGen Studios, who made Motherload along with Stick RPG, Stick Arena, Defend your Castle, etc.

The era of flash games will remain forever goated in my eyes. Nostalgia tinted glasses but I refuse to take them off. This game is also a core memory. I feel bad for kids nowadays, these games were so much fun and 100% free and playable on any computer.

I used to love the Madness series and that game! There's a game on Steam by the same devs (at least I think it must be the same devs) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/488860/MADNESS_Project_Nexus/

I spent hours as a kid building levels in Super Mario Flash. Those were the days!
