Flash? I remember shockwave.
I remember Macromedia.
Oh shockwave games. The Internet peaked at the turn off the millennium
Speak for yourself. I, for one, do not miss needing to suffer through intro animations before the real site would load, "designed for Internet Explorer 4", or the endless ad popups of the era.
Points for nostalgia though
Fuck... me... I forgot how terrible that was.
I always thought shockwave was part of flash? I never understood the difference
Adobe jumbled them up after acquiring Macromedia, which itself had previously acquired both (shockwave from Macromind, flash from Futurewave).
I seem to remember a competitor, I think it was called 3DO or something?
