SHARK.IO Prehistoric Shark
Prehistoric Shark is a 2013 Flash short by Wiesi. A shark bites through a prehistoric scene. Newgrounds still hosts the file and plays it with Ruffle.
Where it sits in Wiesi’s series
Before this file, Wiesi had already shipped Miami Shark (2009), Sydney Shark (2010) and New York Shark (2012). Those are flooded modern cities. Prehistoric Shark, posted in 2013, swaps the skyline for dinosaurs and keeps the side-view “swim and bite” gag. Newgrounds portal id 627518 is the page I use as the host of record. The card image on this article is that portal’s image. Because the city games share one mechanic, they stay on the Flash roundup. This title has its own search demand, so it has its own article.
Playing it after Flash
Adobe stopped Flash Player at the end of 2020. The SWF does not run in a stock browser by itself. Newgrounds loads Ruffle, an emulator, around the file. The page is the original author-credited upload, providing a direct browser route to this specific game. The Newgrounds upload is dated 29 October 2013 and credits Wiesi. Its achievements name fish, cavemen, dinosaur eggs, crocodiles and flying birds, documenting the prehistoric targets without inventing a level count. The author-hosted upload remains the useful starting point for this particular game; a modern shark simulator with a similar name is a separate product.
