I think Facebook was to blame for it's loss in popularity, then it became cell phone Apps. Those who didn't adapt their web based games into the mobile market missed out. Flappy Bird got really popular, but there was always that flash game about the helicopter that was more or less very similar.

Oh no, Games lost its traction long before that. I went on blogging, going to forum, playing flash games, GTA, myspace, youtube, etc. Pool was really fun. Games allows you to talk to players and to me that was a game changer back then. simple interface and very stable gaming experience.

Yup, Yahoo Pool was the best multiplayer billiards game for about a decade until Miniclip Pool came out.

I did, too. I thought Yahoo Chess was shut down long ago?

In any case, it was long surpassed by much better alternatives like ICC and Chess.com.

They had a word game that was good to. H
