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> <p>An intrepid fan called SKELUX has set about ‘collecting’ Nintendo’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> <aside class="object object-youtube"> <div class="youtube">[embedded content] </div> </aside> <p>It’s an interesting blast from the past, that’s for sure.</p> </section> <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> </div> </div> |
