You might call them "Not actual games", but I think flash games are just as worthwhile as the next big AAA title. There are far too many to make a full list, but here are my top 20:
Hood, Riverside, Kingdom of Liars- Really, anything made by Hyptosis. Point-and-click adventures set across two separate metaverses.
The Awakening RPG.
Marduk RPG, currently with 3 chapters.
Sonny & Sonny 2. Nothing like these games.
Legend of the Void I and II.
Summoner Saga: This series really needs it's own animated adaptation.
Forbidden Arms.
Armed With Wings, four chapters.
The entire Reincarnation point-and-click series.
Kingdom. A short one, but still very good.
Sift Heads. A classic flash game franchise with over 20 installments. An assassination first-person shooter which occasionally delves into side-scrolling.
Road of the Dead: First-person driving simulator where you must escape a city lockdown during a zombie apocalypse.
And it's cousin, Lab of the Dead.
The Sinjid series, also made by the creator of Sonny.
Rise of a Knight and Rise of a King.
Belial: A point-and-click series centering around a demon like Reincarnation, but which has strangely morphed into a metroidvania with a total shift in artstyle.
Punk-O-Matic: Two flash games. One is a simple music creator where you pick guitar, bass and drum notes to be played, the other a full-fledged game featuring an animated storyline and voice acting.
Super Crazy Guitar Maniac DX: A quadrilogy of rythm games featuring a plethora of songs. Very fun.
The Clockwork King: A steampunk platformer where all is not as it seems.
Next to last is World's End: A final fantasy tactics-esque turn-based strategy rpg where you can use the terrain to your advantage. Featuring an art style heavily reminiscent of Family Guy and a massive helping of black humor. Currently with three chapters. Some of the music pieces deserve a mention too.
And the cream of the crop,
one of the flat-out most amazing flash games I have come across:
The Blind Swordsman.
A first-person game where you have no sight, and are genuinely [i]blind[/i], forced to use your hearing to defeat 10 challenging opponents in a morbid journey to regain your sight. I have encountered [i]nothing[/i] like this ever since. It simply must be seen to be believed.
