There’s a good chance you immediately recognized the game in this screenshot. Over 28 million people played Farmville yesterday. Another 10 million played Cafe World. 6 million for FishVille Mafia Wars (Mafia Wars is not a Flash Game. Thanks Robert for pointing that out!). In fact, Zynga alone (maker of these games) serves 60 million players every single day… And all these games are built with the Flash Platform. I might as well stop this blog post right here because that’s a very impressive number.
There are also a ton of Flash games available on the web that are used to launch or promote a new product. Check out these games by Red Bull, Coca-Cola, and Cheetos.
There are many many many games like these out there. Know a cool one? Feel free to share the link in the comment section!

Actually – I think Mafia Wars is not Flash, but apart from that – every single word on this post is 100% true. In online gaming Flash rules totally!
Would you consider flash games in newgrounds (www.newgrounds.com) as one of the products of the flash platform? One difference I could tell is that these games do not connect directly to database such as farmville and other online games does.
I’ve been playing this one for months : http://www.wgt.com

Farmville really looks nice! Reminds me a little of my childhood when I was watching cartoons.
