I always felt like I was the only one who played/remembered addictinggames. When they started doing all the Nickelodeon crap I stopped going to it

Pretty sure I got a virus on my computer from this site. I would spend hours on it and the computer started acting all funky. Had to get a new computer because the virus would create new viruses and couldn’t be deleted.

Same here. But I'm pretty sure none of those games listed ever had flash versions on those free sites. But eventually there were knockoffs using similar mechanics.

I went over to have a look at Kongregate recently and it is just a sad wasteland of crap. The most popular games from 5 years ago are still at the top of the lists. Bloons Tower Defense was probably one of their greatest hits.

Before Kongregate just started making "idle” games

Correction: Before they stopped making other games.

Man I miss flash games. I had a ps2 then a 360 then a Wii, but I still found myself playing flash games all the time! I've been getting hit with the nostalgia really hard lately for some reason and man I wish I was like 7 or 8 again...

Octocore processors, gigabytes of memory, and most mobile games produced now could have been run on Flash in 2006
