Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you'd expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS's dual screens. It's also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I'm so sad there's no sequel :(

I used to play a lot of games on miniclip wayyyy back when flash was a thing, but nitrome games were my favorite:

  • Final Ninja series (2 games I think?), 2D platformers where you could swing around and also shoot enemies with ninja stars. had a lot of levels to complete
  • Dirk Valentine, 2D platformer, similar to final ninja but with a different theme
  • Avalanche, a 2D game where you are a penguin trying to escape the avalanche by sliding and avoiding obstacles. I think this had a lot of levels too

Looks like nitrome has these flash games to download on their website, but they also converted / are converting them to html5 as well. I'm so glad these aren't lost!

Nitrome games were the absolute shit! I loved playing Skyline with my little sister. Or that game where you play as the cats shooting arrows. Or fat cat. Or that one game with the cactus on the rail cart! I get reminded of them fairly often, but it always feels like it's been too long since anybody has spoken about them because they're so great.

God Nitrome was like the Nintendo of flash games, it was so amazing. One of my earliest tech memories was making an email account so I could contact them about working for them when I was a 6 year old on my grandma's computer. At some point, my email signature randomly changed to "deadname and Nitrome" and it made me so excited! So glad Nitrome didn't die with flash, the thought of those games disappearing made me cry
