Flash, eh? Don’t you hate overlong, pointless site intros or when an entire site is made using Flash? Worse than that are those hugely irritating adverts that appear all over the page, obscuring what you’re reading. Bleah!
That said, I do enjoy a good bit of flash. There’s only a couple of games worthy of a mention IMO - A Case Of The Crabs and the Hitchikers Guide To The Galaxy. Of more interest to me are the Flash music-making toys, of which there are many. Here’s some of my favourites:
- Weird horsey noise maker. Click on the horses to make music (well, sort of)
- I Know Where Bruce Lee Lives - yes, you can use all those awesome Kung Fu sounds against music from Bruce Lee films. Complete with it’s own sequencer!
- Turntables.de is a nod to old school hip hop (complete with MC!)
- But, out of all of them, Dub Selector 8 takes the top prize. Click on ‘play selector’ at the top when loaded then move your mouse around and click things for a truly interactive dubby experience.
Awesome
There are some more at the same site, but number 8 is definitely my favourite.
BTW, if you hate Flash adverts as much as me, you should download the Firefox Flashblock extension. And Firefox, of course ![]()
