I'm honestly really sad that there's no simple way to get Flash games working anymore. Flash games were a huge part of my childhood and now all of them are basically unplayable without spinning up a VM.
- assemblylang 5y agoCheck out both Ruffle[0] and Flashpoint[1]. Ruffle is an open source flash player emulator that compiles to WASM and has a browser plugin you can add that will allow you to run embedded flash content on a web page (although its not needed if the server serves up a copy of Ruffle). Flashpoint is a collection of thousands of flash games with an easy interface to play them through flash player.

- WhyNotHugo 5y agoThis situation sucks, but this is one of the big reasons why so many devs will warn you against having closed-source proprietary dependencies. The day the company behind it kills support, all your projects are dead. And it's always a matter of time. If your wifi card has proprietary firmware, you can replace the card eventually. If the language compiles is proprietary, it's only a matter of time. If flash had been open source, I'm sure there's be some small group of passionate devs keeping it alive. But as it is, this is simply not possible. Let this be a warning if future choices.
