As this program is not a Flash game in the general sense, I believe the page should be renamed. This game was released on the Nintendo VIP website in Europe as a downloadable .EXE file, differentiating it from Flash games (which are usually packaged as .SWF files). The program was a Macromedia program (as the article states), however, making it not a Flash game yet still a game tied to Macromedia.

#{{User|Camwoodstock}} While Macromedia stuff ''is'' different from Flash, this game comes from that weird inbetween period where the Macromedia's stuff and Adobe Flash were kinda starting to merge together. There is just enough of a difference between Macromedia Flash and, say, Macromedia Director, that we would feel weird labeling this as just a Macromedia game outright.

#{{User|ThePowerPlayer}} Not only is this clearly a game (rather than merely a "program"), both of its screenshots show it running in {{wp|Adobe Flash Player|Macromedia Flash Player}}, which would later be renamed to Adobe Flash Player when Adobe acquired Macromedia in 2005. Therefore, Macromedia Flash and Adobe Flash are referring to the same technology, so this is in fact a Flash game because it's a SWF ({{wp|SWF|ShockWave Flash}}) file packaged into an executable. The only thing separating it from other Flash games is that it's not a ''webgame'' or {{wp|browser game}}, since it's something the player downloads to play offline instead of being hosted on the Internet.
#{{User|PrincessPeachFan}} The article itself says pretty clearly Macromedia Flash.
#{{User|Power Flotzo}} Per all.
#{{User|Jdtendo}} Per ThePowerPlayer
