Fire Storm

I keep this one here because it is my first ever game, as well as a way of showing I know basic Flash. Featured on many sites (80,000 hits on the linked site), it was created in Flash 4 and completed in late 2001, I believe. The visuals in the game are pretty awful by today's standards, please do not judge my skills based on this.
