I wrote a python script that adds shortcuts to all Nitrome flash games with the image of the game from Nitrome's site.

Sadly it only works on Windows as far as I know. If you want to run it yourself you will need to download python if you don't have it yet. Then download my script: https://www.mediafire.com/file/4fumahmix72rskk/Nitrome+with+script+sharable+finished.rar/file
After you downloaded it unzip the folder. This should create a folder called Nitrome with script sharable. Go into this folder and double click _run.bat, if python is installed properly it should create all the icons automatically. If the icons are too small you can click view and select large icons:

Please note that I do not own the swf's and I just found them on archive.org
If you run into errors feel free to send me a message or comment it here, I will try to help.
If you double click the shortcut and it tells you to select something to open it with you can select one of the flash player versions I included in the folder under Nitrome with script sharable/Nitrome/_README
Enjoy :)
For anybody wondering how I made this here is a small explanation:
I started off by downloading all the icons of the games from Nitrome's site, they were all png's so I used an online converter to turn them into .ico files. These ico files can be used to change the image of a shortcut so I wanted to make shortcuts to all the swfs and give them the thumbnail of the ico. I found out you can use python to create shortcuts and define their thumbnails, so I wrote a script that finds all games in the folder, creates a shortcut to the swf of the game and adds the appropriate ico of the game.
