          Well ok, I guess it eventually got there, but at the time Flash was getting shut down there wasn’t any equivalent self contained game engine IDE that compared, it was a big setback.

            I remember a lot of dating sims.

            One of them started with a guy in a bathroom shaving and playing techno music before going to find a date.

            They had funny as heck endings like the girl spinning on the ceiling fan at the end (During sex). Just crazy stuff.

            Anyone remember what they were called? I swear I had them archived but I can’t find them anywhere. I think there were 20-30 of them from the same creator.

      I did, flash was a pile of garbage especially on anything not windows

      Symantec recently highlighted Flash for having one of the worst security records in 2009. We also know first hand that Flash is the number one reason Macs crash. We have been working with Adobe to fix these problems, but they have persisted for several years now. We don’t want to reduce the reliability and security of our iPhones, iPods and iPads by adding Flash.

        Once Adobe got their grubby hands on it, everything went down hill but Macromedia at least did security updates.

          I mean adobe kept releasing security updates for years too. The problem was at its core it wasn’t designed for security so the entire architecture couldn’t very well be secured without breaking all compatibility
