🕹ī¸ Classic Flash Games

ActionScript 2 games from 30,000 feet - now playable again!

✈ī¸ Created on a Flight

These games were created during a flight using ActionScript 2. Originally built as learning experiments, they showcase early game development skills and creativity under constraints.

"I ended up doing them in Action Script 2 because the tutorial support for AS3 was very poor..."

🔧 How they work now: These Flash games are powered by Ruffle, an open-source Flash Player emulator that runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. No plugins required!

🚀 Flash Game Preservation

Thanks to projects like Ruffle, classic Flash games can live on in modern browsers. These games represent an important part of web gaming history and early indie game development.

Fun fact: ActionScript 2 was actually more stable for beginners than AS3 at the time, making it a smart choice for learning game development on a flight!
