A puzzle game I made in Flash in highschool in 2005 (Psychopath) was rebuilt last year by someone who played it in highschool. I have been working with him on it too (shameless plug: https://pathology.gg). Many of the original people that played it back in the day have actually come back which is crazy to me.
Without downloading Macromedia Flash MX in highschool I would never have built Psychopath, Obechi, Boomshine... flash games that changed my life and made me want to be a game developer & programmer.
The creativityand ability to built a Flash game or animation in many different ways was why it was so great.
Many people do not realize that Flash used to be MORE ubiquitous than almost ANY softwar in the world (If I recall Macromedia released some stat around 96% of computers had Flash installed). Meaning you could depend on flash being installed on a device more than Javascript, Java, or any particular browser or operating system.

Miss those days dearly
