Flash games are interactive games built using Adobe Flash Player, which combines vector graphics, animations, and scripting (ActionScript) to create gameplay experiences.
They were hosted on websites like Newgrounds, Miniclip, Kongregate, and Armor Games.
Most were free-to-play, making them popular among casual gamers.
Genres ranged from puzzle and platformers to action, strategy, and MMORPGs.
