I was on the younger side so it was mostly flash game and animation sites. Homestar runner, albinoblacksheep, miniclip, addicting games, runescape.

We must be around the same age haha because those were staples for me too, I was obsessed with motherload on minclip, RuneScape and age of empires lol

Shout out to XGen Studios, who made Motherload along with Stick RPG, Stick Arena, Defend your Castle, etc.

The era of flash games will remain forever goated in my eyes. Nostalgia tinted glasses but I refuse to take them off. This game is also a core memory. I feel bad for kids nowadays, these games were so much fun and 100% free and playable on any computer.

I used to love the Madness series and that game! There's a game on Steam by the same devs (at least I think it must be the same devs) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/488860/MADNESS_Project_Nexus/
