You know what's actually kinda interesting? There's going to have to be an independent flash file player in order to view a lot of content that was produced when Flash was king. Like, I mean a lot of games and videos are going to be strictly inaccessible without downloading a tailored piece of software to specifically view them. Think about all the other common file formats that your computer will just open for you now. All those flash files are going to be basically in the dustbin.

There has been for a very long time a desktop player packaged with Flash Professional, I'm not sure if it comes with the free player download but I expect it would. The real problem will be the Flash games and applications that try and call home to domains that no longer exist.

  You can get them for free from Adobe's site, search for "standalone flash player": https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-playe... In the later versions it was renamed to "projector" but you can still tell them apart from the "_sa" in the filename.
