Does anyone remember that Gorillaz flash game? You basically just had a dune buggy and drove around in a 3D world over some randomly scattered obstacles and terrain. That was my entire computer class in 9th grade. (that and harrassing teachers with netsend)

Yes that was one of those bizarrely high tech experiences back then.

Some of it was the death of Flash (though with Ruffle now there may be hope) but the web now just feels much less diverse.

Or possibly I just miss being a teenager. Or some combination

Tried the Courage the Cowardly Dog game, after a nicely animated plane-landing, the game logic was broken and no enemies appeared. Never played the original, perhaps it had the same problem :)

It's just nostalgia I'm sure but, damn if these didn't coincide with the peak era of the web as a user.

As a kid, I could type their URL from muscle memory with my eyes closed - that’s how much I loved this site.

Good times.
