Retro online gaming is a thing, righg? I don't mean MMOs but normal web-browser stuff.

I think some of the Nick Clickamajigs are 1999 or under.

I'm looking for a first-person shooter flash game, it had an intro where you land on a building in a helicopter (some swat type of deal?), and the gameplay is just shooting a bunch of bad guys by clicking on them. You can shoot a hole in their body or shoot their heads off. You can also shoot exploding barrels. The game is divided into rooms, and I think the last door makes you enter an entrance code on a keypad.

It's pretty easy and short, and I think the only version that exists is the demo/beta version or whatever the creator calls it.

I never understood this game. I thought it would be a more interesting game but you just stood around killing people, as far as I recall.

I could play any game out there if I just wanted to kill something. Robotron would be higher on my list for sure.

Man, flash cartoons and games from the 2000s were something magical. They were amazing with how basic they were, and with stock art and sounds too. The sheer rawness and lack of polish made these things so amusing to experience.

I miss old Newgrounds so much. Turds of the week, all those stupid crappy amateurish movies and troll flashes from the likes of the Clock Crew, those simple dating sims we all spent days playing, early Madness and stick combat movies, video game sprite animations...it's all never coming back, right? It seems like it's been turned into another repository for hipster indie developers like the bowels of Steam, but it used to have so much charm. Fuck I just had the strongest nostalgia hit me.

I remember back then there was some sort of subscription service to Adobe Shockwave games. One of the games contained a tall almost Rayman-looking man wearing a green shirt (I believe his name was Lenny?)

Thanks dude, you know, these games have plenty of sauce because they tend to feature anime and games that either only the creator knew of or were forgotten in time, or both.
