    There's a program called Flashpoint that has a ton of the old flash games ready to play offline, you can choose to download only before you play or download the whole library if you wanted to / have space. It's super fun going back and playing old games from whdn I was a kid or finding stuff I never played.

  8. Browse through over 150 billion web pages archived from 1996 to a few months ago.
    I also miss the days of just stumbling into random websites. Nowadays I feel like the only cool interesting low traffic sites I discover are people doing very specific tutorials and the like that don't fit with the video tutorial culture. Although I do enjoy this guys stuff http://david.li/ try the blob opera. There's always the way back time machine if you're feeling extra nostalgic https://web.archive.org/.
