The Oldest Flash Game on 4399

Video games have been a part of our culture for a long time, so what about flash games? For many people growing up in the early 2000s, flash games are a part of their childhood. People visited lots of different sites to ply these games, whether it be newgrounds, kongregate, or some other gaming site. In China, one of the largest and most popular flash games sites, was and still is 4399.com.

4399 has a huge range of flash games, and in recent years has moved into the realm of html5 and other online game types. Each game on 4399 has a special number ID assigned to them, and these can be seen in the urls. Going through the lowest numbers listed on the site, numbers such as 1 & 2 aren't available, but 3 is. Checking the wayback machine on archive.org, these pages don't exist in even the oldest captures, so it it unknown whether these pages ever existed, or if they were deleted shortly after they were created.

Looking at the page, the game is called Invasion of the Galactic Goobers, and was published on the site on the 15th of May 2004. It is a simple clone of Space Invaders, but with a bit of a twist, with the addition of boss fights.

Someone Made an Entire Movie into a Flash Game - 4399 Exploration

4399.com can be an interesting place to explore. It is a Chinese games site that allows users to play online browser games as well as flash games and also has a large collection of android games and apps. It even has side projects including 4399dmw.com/donghua which is an anime encyclopedia similar in some ways to myanimelist.net. China is well known for being the origin of many bootlegs and unlicensed content. This is the case for 世纪末的魔术师, also known as The Last Wizard of the Century.

This game is a flash-based visual novel in Chinese using the entirety of the movie and soundtrack for content. While the game does feature still frames taken from the movie as backgrounds, other parts of the game use whole sections of animation taken from the movie. This game is certainly unlicensed, and is a very interesting example of what someone can create.
