A little internet history

A whole world of Flash games.

1996
FutureSplash brought animation to the web and became Macromedia Flash. Games, cartoons and interactive websites followed.
2020–2021
Adobe ended Flash Player support on 31 December 2020 and blocked playback in its player from 12 January 2021.
Today
We use Ruffle to help preserve these original Flash games in modern browsers, without the old Flash plug-in. Compatibility varies by game.

Our part in that early web

Our Java games began on Smilie.com in the 1990s, before Matica followed. A surviving Smilie archive from 1 June 1997 refers to Mirkin’s Darts; Matica appears in the archive from 11 November 1998.

These games are part of that first wave of web play. We’re keeping them accessible, along with their original pages and history.

We’re restoring our classic games for today’s browsers. Some controls need a keyboard or mouse; scores and other features are still being checked.

Original game notes

Many of our games never get past the stage of a prototype. This is one such game, but we thought we'd post it anyway. Cursor keys to move, space to rev up your throwing arm.
