I was expecting "Attempt 3" to involve Bluemaxima's Flashpoint, and was surprised not to see it mentioned. Does anyone know why that wouldn't have been an option, or is this essentially what Attempt 1 would have involved? For anyone not familiar with Flashpoint, it's a project to preserve old flash games and animations and keep them playable on modern platforms. It's open source and includes a huge library (including it looks like Hapland 1-3). https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/ https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/ Edit: Reading a bit further down the article, it looks like they were able to make some big improvements by building their own engine like supporting wide screen and higher FPS so that sort of answers my question!

I still play games on Flashpoint. Hell, I speedrun and showcase games in Flashpoint during some regular events with my other friends playing ""real"" games. It's not the best UI, but you do have an easy search function to find content you might like. Gotta be careful to avoid the porn games though. Flashpoint archived some.

It's like Steam for Flash, Shockwave, and Java Applet games. I highly recommend it. Though I do wonder if it's going to survive the transition away from x86...

flashpoint is not a flash emulator, its a preservation effort that has archived tons of flash content from the web Ruffle is the flash emulator https://ruffle.rs/ https://ruffle.rs/
