<p>There&#8217;s a good chance you immediately recognized the game in this screenshot. Over <a href="http://www.appdata.com/leaderboard/apps/?metric_select=dau" target="_blank">28 million</a> people played <a href="http://www.farmville.com/" target="_blank">Farmville</a> yesterday. Another 10 million played Cafe World. 6 million for FishVille <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Mafia Wars</span> (Mafia Wars is not a Flash Game. Thanks Robert for pointing that out!). In fact, <a href="http://www.zynga.com/" target="_blank">Zynga</a> alone (maker of these games) serves <a href="http://www.appdata.com/facebook/devs/index/id/10" target="_blank">60 million players</a> every single day&#8230; And all these games are built with the Flash Platform. I might as well stop this blog post right here because that&#8217;s a very impressive number.</p>
<p>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 <a href="http://www.redbullsoapboxracer.com/" target="_blank">Red Bull</a>, <a href="http://hf3.coca-cola.com/" target="_blank">Coca-Cola</a>, and <a href="http://www.cheetos.com" target="_blank">Cheetos</a>.</p>
