Four Flash Games Now Downloadable

Four Flash Games Now Downloadable

Flash will soon be dead. Future Proof Games, and the game community in general, owes an enormous debt to the Flash development zeitgeist of roughly 2004-2014. My (Gregory's) Flash games have led to two different FPG releases: Exploit: Zero Day and "The Majesty of Colors" Remastered. However, most browsers' ...
