I remember pure website games too. There was some alien one where you had a certain amount of energy to use for the day. You could work out, attack other aliens or a few other things. Didn't cost anything to play. It was hard starting out because higher level guys could attack you. I remember putting a note: "please stop attacking me." One person attacked and said: "no."

I'm sympathetic to the "Why does everything have to require a fucking login?"

But come on. So many of those games were just inferior reskins of classics. If you want to play Pac-Man, then play Pac-Man. You don't need to go to Lays.com and play Cheeto Crunchers, where a giant Chester Cheetah floating head chases snack foods through a maze.

I miss Kitten Cannon so much lmao, and Madness Interactive, and addictinggames . com (which iirc died so probably don't visit and yes the website was mispelled).

I remember when movie theaters showed maybe one or two previews and no ads.

I remember seeing that game with the hammer and pot and not believing it was a flash game and that people paid for it.

Did anyone else play the dungeons-and-dragons-esque text based game on the Eragon website?
