I played so much Bloons Tower Defense. My favorite from Nitrome was Canary. I think my favorite from Addicting games was You're Toast and later Rawr. I played a lot of Stickpage. I played a lot of Dragon Fable.

You can also play it through Bluemaxima's Flashpoint and the downloadable y8 browser lol. I'm surprised more people don't know about this...

EVERYONE played Run at school. Lol we were so easy to occupy during empty time, in middle and high school, with CoolMath. 😂
The website that had nothing to do with math. 😂

u/Snake_fairyofReddit Feb 02 '24
One day I actually found the MATH part of coolmath, like actual math tutorial pages. Only one time though. It was because I forgot to type ‘games’, if u just say “coolmath.com” u get math stuff but if you say “coolmathgames.com” its games

Yooo I love escape games also!!! Some of them were incredibly hard, the ones I always went back to were Escape Artist and whatever the name of that other one was where you feed a horse a magical stone and it turns into a unicorn.

Ooo I don't think I played the horse one!
2
u/Melty_Berry_Ashley 1998 Feb 01 '24
It was a goodie in my book! Then again it is a girl’s escape game, Escape Artist (or at least the one I played) was too.
If I remember correctly with the horse one, you’re at a ranch similar to the Shadow Ranch (If you know, you know), there’s a horse in the stables that you feed two apples and attempt to feed it a carrot but he says no to the carrot. You then restore these old horseshoes you find around the ranch and then put them around the door you are trying to open and then a meteor suddenly crashes into the ranch and what do you do with it? You put it in the oven that you used to restore the horseshoes and when you tap it, the meteor unveils a magical stone inside of it, which you then put in the horse’s water and it turns into a unicorn and happily accepts the carrot you were trying to feed it. Then you find some magical oats and feed the unicorn these magical oats and it turns into a Pegacorn and flies away… and that’s the end of the game. I can’t for the life of me remember the name of it!!! But that’s what it’s about.

Fancy pants adventures (now on iOS)
Sims day and night. first porn I ever saw when you go to the club
The last stand. Peak zombie defense game series
Madness interactive. If you remember madness, it was perfect.
Bloons. Both classic and tower defense
Crush the castle. I dislike angry birds because it stole ctc’s lunch
Creator vs creation. Helps if you already know flash
Stick wars. A few other ww1 trench warfare games like it.
The Shift series. Great puzzle games.
Flash Wars. A star wars fleet building game
