Flash Element TD

Flash Element TD is a Flash-based tower defense browser game created by David Scott and launched in January 2007. The game had been played over 140 million times as of March 2009.

David Scott got the inspiration for Flash Element TD in 2006. He noticed that no one had created a Tower Defense game using Flash and only started work on Flash Element TD as a technical exercise to see if it was possible. The map and name is based on the “Element TD” map created for the real-time strategy game Warcraft III by Brian Powers and Evan Hatampour, David Scott created a much simpler version of the map that could be played using only a browser. The game was launched in January 2007 and still has growth to this day.
