NG and AG were wonderful sites that made sure I never did all my homework

    Newgrounds
    Armor Games
    Addicting Games
    Miniclip
    Kongregate
    CoolMathGames

These occupied far too much of my attention when I was younger... was sad to see them decimated with the Flash removal in browsers at the time.

Also Nitrome! Truly a golden age

Nitrome kicked ass! It had such a unified vision for the universe of its games. You could tell they were all conceived with great care and they felt connected to each other. It's nice to see they're looking the same and still alive and kicking [1].

What a flood of nostalgia.

I wonder if AI could help in reviving these.

With my zero knowledge of flash is it possible to somehow bridge it into modern browsers using web assembly or something?

Not AI, but Flash games have been 'saved' already, if you've still got the .swf:

Oh kongregate totally forgot about that

I was surprised to find Miniclip is still kicking around, hiring developers half an hour away from where I live. Was really tempted to send my CV but sadly they seemed to pivoted to peddling mtx filled slop nowadays.

Don’t forget Andkon Arcade (:
