It's going to suck in 10 years when Gen Alpha start getting nostalgic for mobile games

God I fucking hate mobile games. It's so sad that's what kids are growing up on now.
You're viewing a single thread.
Don't know if that'll happen 'cause I played flash games as a kid and despite some very small curiosity I have about some of them I'm not nostalgic for them at all and wish I spent my time as a kid playing any other game.
That's... I good point actually.
I also played flash games and maaaaan they were baaad. No nostalgia for them in the slightest
I had nostalgia for them for a while, some were actually really intricate and maybe even good, and some of my friends have white whale flash games lost to time. But yeah, there's no tidal wave of nostalgia products for various reasons
Personally my feeling is there'll be some nostalgia for the better mobile games but if there's any preservation effort it will probably recreate them without the microtransaction bullshit lol
I do think someone else on the thread may have a point that the only reason we don't see this much nostalgia for flash games is because of the sheer number of them, and the fact that everyone played a different one, before losing interest and getting another one. It's hard to monetize stick matrix 4 when only a bunch of people remember it fondly, unlike the 80s/90s when a game could be THE GAME for years.
but if there's any preservation effort it will probably recreate them without the microtransaction bullshit lol
and then you realize that waiting around all day isn't a game lol
My flash game lost to time was "Zest", a visual novel about addiction.
Guess I'm the only weirdo here who absolutely has nostalgia for loads of flash games as a kid, there were many crap ones and many, many great ones.
Motherlode, Portal: The Flash Game, Castle Crashers, Super Meat Boy, Every Neopet game ever, Happy Wheels, Bloon TD 1/2/3/4/5, Impossible Quiz 1/2/3, Anagram Magic (+all the multiplayer games on miniclip,), Uno (+all the multiplayer games on omglol), Madness Combat, Fancy Pants Adventure, to name the ones off the top of my head.
I refuse to accept none of these are worthy of nostalgia. Some of them were turned into very successful full-blown games.
Impossible Quiz 1
I failed on the last 10 questions of that one so many times that I gave up lmao. Even as a kid, I didn't have time for that shit.
It was definitely a game that relied on its concept rather than anything else. I still personally think it was a fun interesting 'un worth playing.
Nah me too. Smash the castle or whatever that trebuchet game that got copied by angry birds was dope
Castle Crashers is getting an update soon after 10 years of nothing lol.
Yeah, like I've got a batocera emulation setup, and I have a bunch of old flash games I played as a kid on there, as a curiosity. But I hardly touch them.
The only one with substance that I occasionally go back to is this one puzzle game with little Viking guys trapped in ice, and you have to free them. It's a cute little time waster, but that's about it.
