Oh shockwave games. The Internet peaked at the turn off the millennium

Speak for yourself. I, for one, do not miss needing to suffer through intro animations before the real site would load, "designed for Internet Explorer 4", or the endless ad popups of the era.

I always thought shockwave was part of flash? I never understood the difference

Adobe jumbled them up after acquiring Macromedia, which itself had previously acquired both (shockwave from Macromind, flash from Futurewave).
