This exploration is a Flash website called flasharcade.com. This is a gaming site that has a lot of fun games to play. This is a good site to explore if you have exta time on your hands and want to play some of their games, and also check out how the deleopers create their games in Flash.

Flash Arcade has a variety of games: Action, Adventure, Arcade, Casino, downloadable, fun, puzzle, racing, shooting, skill and sports online games. These ganes are free. They also have a membership that you can join for more games than just their free games. Flash Arcade puts out new games weekly. Their games range from small child age to adult action games.

I played one game called the Nutty Gomba Game. It was a squirrel game called Gomba and he collects nuts while avoiding dangerous, hungry predators in the jungle. Evertime you collect nuts your goes higher and when Gomba dies he goes to heaven. Gomba has a lot of lives though. It's actually a cute little kids game. I played this for about 15 minutes, you have to be careful though because I think you can get caught up on this site wasting time playing games all of the time.

It was pretty entertaining exloring this site and seeing all the great games that can be created in Flash, it makes me look forward to the next Flash 2 class being offered at Miracosta. I think being able to create games like these would be a fun job.
