The problem to backing it all up is actually how much the internet has progressed. As of 2020, 380 web pages are added per minute, or 547,200 daily. That means in a year there are about 200 million new webpages. There is no way for any computer system to find and back them all up. The amount of servers alone would probably fill a football stadium, if not another couple. The wayback machine is great but doesn't back up games or many videos because of the huge load that would put on their servers. Plus, it's impossible for a backup program to differentiate between a good website that is finished and complete, from a bad one that just has 10 Rickroll videos on it. So it'll never be fully backed up, and people need to back up what is important to them now so it isn't lost in 15 years.

@Dusk Raccoon It’s not necessarily the age of Flash but more of the fact that it died due to the mobile age, Adobe giving up on upgrading Flash, and Apple leading to the hatred towards Flash. Once the iPhone became a thing that was the beginning of the end for Flash. It’s a shame, because later on in the 2010’s had some really good games made in flash but at that point Flash was dying and being replaced. At the end of the day Adobe is ultimately what killed Flash as instead of upgrading it like HTML5 they decided to abandon it leaving many of the games, and websites that relied on Flash to die.

I was so happy when they announced I'd won... and then waited that stupidly long waiting time for competition to end and it be shipped out. It arrived in a huge Wonka branded cardboard box and I started having kid daydreams of how I'm going to receive boxes every month for life filled with sweets. Lifetime supply, right? One box. Just one. One huge cardboard box with 4 packets of nerds, 4 packets of dweebs, and 2 packets of gobstoppers. Individual packets, not display boxes or anything. Just a few packets that even in todays money is worth about £8 tops.

there is one flash film that has not been released, but will be very soon. It’s called “there she is: step 0”. it was supposed to be a prequel to the popular Newgrounds series. It was made in 2004, and was only ever shown at a few animation festivals. The full 1 minute short is said to come out on the series memorial DVD. UPDATE: It was actually made in 2005, and I was able to watch it on the dvd. It's really charming and was around 3 minutes long. I don't want to upload it, as I feel it would de value the DVD.

Re: Tamatown, it’s actually the case that only a very small portion of the site has been archived - the V4 version pretty much only has the loader, intro sequence and main town area swfs preserved, so even if you bypass the login you’re not going anywhere else. V3 has a bit more preserved but often didn’t load in preserved versions of the site which led to the misconception that the V4 version was archived. I’ve actually done quite a bit of research into what’s lost and what’s left to recover and I’m considering making a video on it in the future to catch people’s attention, since that tends to be the way to get people thinking and looking for this stuff.

There was a game on The-N website before it was TeenNick called "The Hookup" that I remember playing non-stop around 2006/2007, it was sort of like a dating simulator/visual novel but it had a really interesting social system and story. I don't remember when or why they took the game down but I assume it was around the time The-N transitioned to TeenNick. It's actually one of the more popular lost flash games I see people reminisce on. Luckily there are still a few youtube walkthroughs of the game to watch for nostalgia, but I wish it could have been recovered before the end of flash to play just one more time.

Then once Island came the divide of fans of the flash version and fans of the Mobile version. multiple private servers to keep the spirit of the flash version came out. Some are probably dead without flash The only friend I was able to keep came from Club Penguin. It's because of that and much more that the game will forever be in my heart

It's also nice to see people bringing awareness to lost media and encouraging archiving!

There's this one lost flash game that sometimes I'm worried I made it up all in my head since I can't find, like, any evidence it exists anymore. Because the Hasbro site used to be chalked full of games. And there was this really specific one based on The Game of Life. It used to be my favorite game when I was younger, although I don't have the best memory from back then. I remember that you could upload your face into the game, and you could go through really adventurous life events in it. The main one I remember was going skydiving. If literally anyone else remembers this game, I'd love to hear a reply to it, lol. Eventually I'll find out if I just dreamed the whole thing up or not.

I also have an unusual piece of lost media I remember playing a lot in my childhood, but it wasn't that game, it was this weird bird game where you basically played as this bird and would shoot down all these helicopters, planes, owls, everything. there was also this season system where after a distance of most likely 2000 I-don't-knows the background would change to a differently themed one and a cutscene would also play. I also remember there having to be upgrades to your bird and that rarely owls would have an upside down head and if you shot one down for the first time you would get an achievement called "Retarded Owl" or something which was inappropriate but I didn't care about it because it was just one thing, and a glitch also having a chance to happen upon loading the game where the loading screen just said a few random letters. I can't remember the name of this elusive bird game.

The veggietales website was a good memory I thought I'd never hear of again.

I’m scrolling threw the comments to find out who won the gushers contest AND I FOUND NOTHING (plz tell me)

OMG I remember playing the Noggin "where's Zee?" game when I was younger! I even made my own story based on it lol I also remember playing this obscure Disney game called i think "Disney blast" or something like that. I was aimed at younger kids and it was like part of an actual paid program of the same name. One part of this game was a point 'n click story about Minnie and mickey making some cookies or something. Never really seen anyone talking about it.

There was this 3D racing Flash game called Red Bull Soapbox Racer. It was a game where you could customize your car (soapbox) and create a track to race with other players. Sadly, the game became lost around the very late 2010s when the website of the game would now redirect you to the Red Bull website.

There was a PowerPuff girls game that allowed you to create a music video using sound and animation clips that you placed on a film reel/ storyboard setup that I've searched for for almost two decades. Music included Signal in the Sky-o by Apples in Stereo and Shonen Knife's Buttercup song.

I totally remember those Noggin games those were great when I was 5.

Ol' Godzilla was hopping around

There was one game on the TVOkids website called Pillars of Freedom. I looked it up and can find nothing online except for the Wiki page, a Facebook post, and the developer site. It was a "television-web hybrid" show about dragons, so you could watch episodes then play the online game to get further background. I never watched the show and I could not find any episode online. I barely remember the plot but I enjoyed it very much. I'm so sad to see that it's gone, with not a single clip I could find other than screenshots on the devs site.

Bro, i remember pillars of freedom too, i came across the site one day and had no idea whats going on because i never watched it, i really wish i recorded it if i had known that info on it was going to be lost, but i think the plot that i ran into was something about Flying school? Also the TVOkids website in general was plain just my childhood, a website i sunk my time into alot especially in my earlier childhood years

Can't believe you actually missed this. Near the end of his life Chuck Jones had his own website where you could watch animated shorts. I really can't say more than that as when I found the site it was already shutdown. The site hinted at all of Chuck Jones creations were represented, what was lost I really can't say.

this might sound crazy but maybe a few of these games my pop up on a Nintendo switch eShop every now and again Nintendo switch will put a lost game in there e shop such as Scott pilgrim and toulon which is a lost Verizon game from 2005 you never know.

I remember playing the Scribble Vision games on the Noggin website all the time and having an absolute blast. The levels of the Oobi one is especially vivid. From what I can recall from my memories of my gameplays, it basically followed a storyline of Oobi and his grandpa going on a camping trip of some sort. You would be tasked with scribbling in with a variety of colors over a drawing of an animal or object which would then be animated in to a sequence of the storyline. Specific drawings I remember include a rooster and fish. Sad that it is lost. I would love to have a chance to play it for old times sake.

Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places, but I’ve been searching for this Speed Racer candy/push pop game game from the late 2000’s- nobody probably remembers it but I remember loving it.

omg! Me and my friends would play the poptart mini-games religiously for like, a year in middle school xD my favourite was the bike one! sad to know it's lost media now.....

This brings me back to my childhood. Just seeing they type of stuff on flash.

Flashpoint is awesome and I definitely recommend downloading if you're a fan of Flash games! Fortunately a lot of my favorites were preserved through it. My favorites were the tower defense games like Warzone Tower Defense and Desktop Tower Defense. I also have a lot of nostalgia for the Neopets and Cartoon Network Flash games.

Great list! Thanks for uploading!

RIP flash :(

There's so much lost flash content. Games and animations that may never see the light of day again. A good example are Meteor Games. Basically Meteor Games was a small independent company that made pretty popular flash games and hosted them on Facebook. Their most well known ones are Paradise Island and Ranch Town. Other games like this include Rabbids Invasion as well as most games made by the developers of Galaxy Life. Also Crash Village which was a Crash Bandicoot MMORPG with mini games. And there's countless more flash games like this out there which are completely lost to time.

One of those Veggietales flash games (a Tetris clone one that may have been older) was the first video game I ever played.

I remember the old Doctor Who flash games on the BBC website from around 2006. They tied into certain episodes, and while being simple strategy and puzzle games, they were still pretty fun. I first discovered them around New Year's 2017-2018, and at some point after that the entire game section was removed from the website when the brand was revamped for the Thirteenth Doctor era. Thankfully, all of the games have been preserved in BlueMaxima Flashpoint.

There's also "Big Fat Awesome House Party" that's lost. It was awesome :D

"Oh hai there! :3" so wholesome never let it die

I'm hoping someone fully finds the lost Smash Bros Melee flash site. I found some kind of archive for it, and even found that it updated frequently, but it wouldn't display anything like the info on each character and stage.

It’s January and you’ve already gathered flash lost media! Props to you for this awesome list!

Rip Remnants of Skystone. An obscure but cool peace of lost flash media

Oh fuck. I literally just played a version of that Scooby Doo game with that cutscene you were talking about, RIGHT before flash died. I had no idea it would be sought after. I played all of the Scooby Doo flash games (in that genre, there’s about 3 of them) right before flash kicked the bucket.

I remember the flash game on my old PC. A simple minigolf game, minimalistic, open and framed sections, nothing suspicious. You can choose the direction and power. But if you put too much power while on the open places - there is where fun comes out: short cutscenes of people getting hurt by golf ball, being hit in the face, even one with leg being broken by a ball. Still can't find this gem.

I remember sometime in the late 2000s on the Nick website, there was a Roseanne game where you had to work in the diner and help Roseanne, Jackie and the staff serve customers their food. I have memories of ketchup bottles being present in the game, so maybe the goal was to handle people's condiments in the quickest time possible? I also remember hearing dialogue from the show along with the Roseanne theme song while working. Who else recalls playing this? I used to play this along with the George Lopez lawn gnome bowling game (which I have found footage of on here)

I don't know if this is "lost" but does anyone remember Cartoon Network's FusionFall?

Man remember when websites based off snacks or other kid things were awesome back in the day?

-The Run series was pretty fun and the writing in the third game was pretty charming and amusing. -Brackenwood has pretty fluid animation, fun characters, pretty art and an interesting world. -Tarboy was just badass and awesome. Very interesting visuals too. -I played Verge plenty of times for the cool after death mechanic and fun puzzle gameplay. -Yandere Institute Dating Simulator scared me and that's a good thing. -I used to play Ultimate Sonic Flash with my sister back in the day. We loved it.

There's this lost online game that i used to play a ton during my childhood called chimpoo (Chimpoo.com) and it was basically a kids online game similar to other online games at that time like moshi monsters or club penguin but primarily for a younger group of kids. Around Sept 2015 they closed their servers and just left this screen saying something like "Chimpoo is on vacation and will be coming back soon". To this day no one knows why they closed the site and its a niche game so not many people seem to know much about it, especially because i believe it was only advertised on a single canadian tv channel and rarely online. I saw one reddit post asking what happened and they said they tried to contact the creators of chimpoo (Games2WinMedia) but they never responded. Tbh this is something i will always hold dear to my heart cuz this game honestly helped me get more into online gaming as a young impressionable kid and get closer with my cousins whom i still talk to today and they're essentially my closest friends. I just wished they at least said something like a why or explanation.
