Oh wow.. No DLCs.. No seasons.. No paid content. Just content.. No advertisements outside of the whole game being what it is.. This is actually amazing to see.. These days, with these amazing machines, amazing frameworks, and all the possibilities, and we're now aiming not to provide experiences that are enjoyable on their own merit, but something else.. the "joy" part is a checkbox that's prioritized only to the lowest viable point, because the content is something else, it's advertisement or user-retention or user-capture or just plain old data-harvesting.. Sure, flash was a security nightmare, but the technology was amazing, on the same 100 pentium machine that struggeled with letting Coral zoom in on a part of a vector image, Flash would happily fill the screen with animation done using morphing vectors..
I remember that day, when news told that Apple wouldn't allow Flash.. I remember thinking, that was the beginning of the end.
Yes, it was proprietary, and all of that, but it was really, really good for its time, and it's still good.
So much culture.. So much zeitgeist. Locked into files of that era.
of course I have an adblocker, have you tried going online anytime the past 20 years ??? also, I don't know how to install chrome extensions on firefox so that's probably not for me.
My comment was not about that site itself, but about its content and that someone cared to share the link to it :)
