A bit sad not to find the whole collection of Larry Carlson's animations in there (only a few games.) Also, need full archive of Joe Cartoon!

I had the same thought, and similar disappointment when I couldn't find anything referencing Trogdor and his burninating ways.

I periodically check if Top Dog II (from teagames, now nonexistent) has been added as it was one of my favorite flash games, but it still isn't there. I admire the work and I really support preservation projects. Hope Top Dog II can be rescued one day, along with other teagames titles.

Can't tell if they have the entirety of Homestar Runner preserved, but I'm very glad to see they have some of it.

Homestar Runner isn't dead, and all the files are still around, so it should be back sometime within the next few years. https://homestarrunner.com/post-flash-update

Was pleasantly surprised to find two of my games preserved here. Was over twenty years ago that I submitted them!

I believe that the art of the past, created by humans before the advent of AI, deserves a reevaluation. It seems increasingly rare these days to find works that reflect pure human effort. In that sense, I believe the effort to preserve these games from the past is well worthwhile.

Kind of crazy that most of the huge mobile games draw roots to flash games from the decades prior.

Very disappointed that they don't have _Bembo's Zoo_

If there's a way to get it added, I'd be very glad of that (or if someone could figure out how to re-create it for the modern web)

If you like RPGs, you gotta play Nekogame's "Parameters"! It's in there.

If you’re interested in legal torrenting but GNU/Linux images are too small for you, this is for you.

Wouldn’t this still be technically a copyright violation? It seems unlikely this is all public domain stuff.

Yes, but you'd have trouble finding someone who has standing and desire to sue.
