I used to be a passionate gamer, and I often find myself nostalgic for the golden era of video games when there were new ideas popping left and right.

Now, it feels like we’re caught between long-delayed triple-A titles and a constant stream of indie platformers. Originality seems to have taken a backseat, with many games regurgitating the same concepts.

What do you think defined the golden era of gaming? Are we currently in a rut, or is there a chance for fresh ideas to emerge again?

        I was playing a lot of games from Kongregate and armorgames regularly till 2018 or sometime when end of Flash support was announced. I got the swf files for most of the games I played through flashpoint and flash museum. I am still searching for a game called Book of treasures though.
