There was a time in the early-to-mid noughties, for example, when Flash was a big part of online browsing. Sometimes it was used extremely poorly, but it was also a useful tool for making websites more interactive and interesting; naturally Nintendo and other game makers jumped on board.<\/p>\n<p>An intrepid fan called SKELUX has set about &#8216;collecting&#8217; Nintendo&#8217;s old flash websites and games, giving us a look at how official video game websites worked in generations long gone. By <a class=\"external\" href=\"http:\/\/origami64.net\/flash.php\">viewing this website<\/a> you can experiment with quite a few archived sites and minigames that run through Flash, and there are some fun examples in there. Not all of them are running fully, with SKELUX offering a small reward to those that help him complete the collection.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube\">[embedded content] <\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>It&#8217;s an interesting blast from the past, that&#8217;s for sure.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"text source\">[via <a rel=\"external\" title=\"External Link: http:\/\/origami64.net\/flash.php\" href=\"http:\/\/origami64.net\/flash.php\">origami64.net<\/a>, <a rel=\"external\" title=\"External Link: https:\/\/motherboard.vice.com\/en_us\/article\/pa33ky\/nintendos-old-flash-games-are-being-rescued-from-the-bowels-of-the-internet\" href=\"https:\/\/motherboard.vice.com\/en_us\/article\/pa33ky\/nintendos-old-flash-games-are-being-rescued-from-the-bowels-of-the-internet\">motherboard.vice.com<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The curse and wonder of Flash by Thomas Whitehead 9 hours ago The internet has evolved a great deal over the last 20 years, to put it mildly.
