What it is?
The PortableApps.com Flash Archade is going to be a collection of 30-300 flash games that will be put together in PAF format and (hopefully) be made official so that everyone can enjoy they're favorite flash games online or offline, without all the annoyances of ads and popups.
What I need
In order to create this, I need some nominations for games. I need three peices of information:
1. Name of the game
2. Category
3. Website where the game can be found
The name of the game is just what it is, the name.
The Categories include Action, Shoot 'em Up, Sport, Other (If you think there should be more categories, tell me)
The website is just a link to a site where you can play the game (so I can download it)
When you are nominating, make sure that the game doesn't require the shockwave plugin, since I don't think that can be made portable. (You can test this by disabling the shockwave plugin in your web browser and refreshing the page)
When will it be done?
Well, considering that most online flash games are closed source, I'll need to contact the game's developer(s) for permission to redistribute it. That will take some time. I'll also need at least 30 permissions to get the minimum of 30 games in the "archade".
Other Notes
I guess I could also make Java games, but I'm not sure if I want to include them since "PortableApps.com Flash and Java Archade" kinda sounds weird. But then again I could just call it PortableApps.com Archade?
Any ideas?

I'd Like To Recommend a couple from http://adamatomic.com/
Namely Gravity Hook, and Fathom. I'd say Canabalt, but that's already PortableApps ready...

well, since we got permission to get Canabalt Portable, I'm sure he wouldn't mind the rest of 'em?
Name: Continuity
Website: http://continuitygame.com/
Category: Puzzle
Continuity is a very unusual puzzle game, requiring lots of thinking outside the box
But there’s no sense crying over every mistake,
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
it does look neat. Thanks for pointing it out.
Seriously, give up. It won't work. I would expect few if any developers to be even remotely interested in it. Especially because they'd almost all need significant internal modification to work properly portably with Local Stored Objects and things like that.
I am a Christian and a developer and moderator here.
“A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” – Proverbs 15:1
Unless a game needs to maintain something, it doesn't need LSO at all. And, even if it does, there are ways to move things about. Canabalt works portably quite nicely.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
If you could set it up so that the user can supply "their own" Flash/Java files, and have a menu for it, that would be sweet! kinda like the old Shockwave Arcade program from the 90's.
