Without Flash, FWA would not exist and neither would a LOT of the digital and gaming world as we know it.

Roll call! Do you remember 2Advanced Studios, v4 Prophecy from 2003? And the countdown timer?!
These were the days when people “queued” and waited with baited breath for the launch of a new website, often crashing the servers on launch.

Before Flash, nearly all websites were scrolling experiences, then Flash came and scrolling almost became a thing of the past, then Flash died and nearly all websites are scrolling experiences.
