Anyone remember spending countless hours on Flash games? Whether it be in your computer class or at home, they were a ton of fun. Browser games, many of them powered by Adobe Flash, were a staple of an internet era that is no longer here. However, you can now relive some of it thanks to a new bundle offer which we think is great for Steam Deck users. Or just any other kind of PC user if you prefer.

Humble Bundle is always treating us with new bundles that can help us grab several games for an extremely low price. They’ve introduced yet another bundle, but it’s different from what we normally see. This time, they’re offering some classic browser games that made the transition, perfect for those who crave a nostalgic experience straight from the browser (or Flash games) era.

What does the Flashback Classics bundle offer?

The new bundle is called Flashback Classics and it features a total of eight games. All of them are modernized and remastered versions of old browser games, including Worms WMD which is sort of an honorary member in this case – though the series did indeed have a Flash version at one point. So while their content might be the same as before, they offer improved visuals and much more.

The overall value of the games is $122. But if you purchase them through Humble Bundle, you can get all eight titles for $15, saving over $100. However, keep in mind that the offer is for a limited time and will disappear after 15 days.

Here are the games included in the bundle along with their Steam Deck compatibility status.

Is the bundle worth getting?

The main highlight of this bundle is perhaps Strike Force Heroes. This is a remake of the original game that was released back in 2012. Compared to the original game, the remake offers improved visuals, more detailed environments, and an extended campaign with a proper voice cast and animated cutscenes. On top of that, it also offers multiplayer, so you can either play with your friends or test your skills against random players in PvP matches.

Super Meat Boy is also another exciting title that will keep you attached to your Steam Deck’s screen for around 10 hours. But if you want to achieve 100% completion, be prepared to invest more than 45 hours. In it, you take control of the cube-shaped Meat Boy who is on a journey to save his girlfriend from a deadly threat. The game is perfect for those who love a challenge, as its levels are packed with saw blades, crumbling platforms, and spikes. So, you’ll need to be extremely careful with each step you take.

Aside from this bundle, Humble Bundle is also offering eight games through their Humble Choice subscription, which refreshes every month. On top of that, we also recently shared a list of Steam Deck games that you can get for free right now.
