So many flash games are unplayable now, others laggy, even with Supernova. Here's a couple I'd love to play again but can't anymore.

If you can download the games you can play them locally with Adobe Air.

Maybe if it was like 2005 and I cared about Flash games any more.

Though I suppose other Flash multimedia is probably gone, like all those Stick Figure Death Theater videos.

My most favorite game was called Word Battle.

It was available on King(com) and later at RoyalGames(com).

It was the only word game that was ever fair for all players.

Wish there was a way to steal the code and have it available once again.

Best image I could find of this online:

Here's how to download and play those flash games offline. I don't have my laptop with me to test this right now so do let me know how this go TC.

Example:
https://www.kongregate.com/games/jlong64/soul-tax

1.) Go there and wait for Ruffle to load.

2.) Right click on the game window and select 'Download .swf'. That game for example is a 5,119,844 bytes game.swf file

3.) Download 'Flash Player projector content debugger' for your OS (Win/Mac/Linux) below. It's an official but discontinued app from Adobe.
https://web.archive.org/web/20220401020702/https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.html

4.) Run that flash player, no installation needed, and open your .swf file from step (2)

5.) That's it! Go and play your game.

As long as you can grab the .swf file, the adobe debugger should play it just fine. However do let me know if the method fail. Also I would suggest you download all of your favorite .swf games, just in case

It wouldn't let me download the swf file because "it can harm my device" and I don't see a way to override it.

Not as much as I thought I would, lol.

I downloaded all my favorites for use with the standalone flash player back in 2019. But I haven't actually touched them.

Found a way to override the "unsafe" thing and play Soul Tax without lag. Thanks.

That game is only similar by name only.

Nothing like the one I mentioned.

Thanks for looking though. :)

The actual software was trash, but the Flash internet culture was a lot more fun

at least now we have Ruffle, which is FOSS
