Alchemy : All The Best Free Flash Games Relating To Alchemy
Alchemy is an area that relates both to chemistry and esotericism. From its beginnings (in Egypt around 100 B.C.) to its decline (around the 18th century), alchemy has kept as a main field of expertise the creation of the philosopher's stone.
The word “alchemy” stems from the old French “alkemie” and from Arabic “al-kimia”, meaning “transformation art”.
According to the legend, the philosopher's stone enables to change any non precious metal into gold. Alchemists from around the world tried to realize it. Some said they did, but there is no evidence of such thing, except from pieces of writing...
The other main interest of alchemist relied in the discovery of an elixir of life. Indeed, their researches were mainly based on immortality and ling life. Legends and myths have long accompanied – and still accompany – alchemists' lives, even though the area has a bit disappeared.
It is notably around the 18th century that alchemy lost of its power, at a time when chemistry started to pull away from it. It still attracts today, but frightens as well: alchemy is an area full of mysteries...

The author of the “Fullmetal Alchmist” manga directly got his inspiration from the philosopher's stone legend: it is the main object of the two brothers' quest. It had a tremendous success, at first in Japan and then in Europe. Dozens of by-products have been created: key rings, mugs, dolls, video games, and so on.
Speaking of video games, the first one to be created was released in Japan and only 100 of items were released! That's because the game was not an official one, but realized by some fans.
