The site, in 2001
A game portal started by Macromedia to show off its Shockwave and Flash plugins, with games you play right in the browser.
It grew out of ShockRave, a 1998 showcase of Macromedia projects, and had 22 million users by 2005. By 2010 it hosted more than 400 games.
In 2001: The company behind it merged with Atom Corporation after the dot-com crash, to form AtomShockwave Corporation.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2001 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2001, then plays a short scene. Want Shockwave.com in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
