The Flash might be a huge pain in the butt, but I’m not sure the internet has become a better place since his death. Glad to see Ruffle add AS3 support and extend that seamless experience.

It is not the same when you need to manually install Lightspark or Newgrounds Player in the modern age. Yes, technically in the past you needed to install Flash at some point, but absolutely everyone had Flash, so you could send links to games and they could launch instantly, no problem. I think that abolishing the barrier to entry of installing a plugin is good for preserving Flash games. I’m glad to see it preserved, not just as files in some archive, but still viewable and playable. Wonderful Wonderputtįlash games were a big step towards indie games as we know them now, and much of the Internet culture was based on Flash cartoons.
Also, sites like Newground still exist, you know, and people keep creating new Flash games. The classic webtoon Homestar Runner also changed to Ruffle.

Archive and emulation projects include Flashpoint, Flash Game Archive, and the Internet Archive’s Flash library (which also uses Ruffle). Some people have converted their Flash work to HTML5, but trusting the people who do it would be a huge loss (who has the time? Who has the source files?). Before that (and after) there were many projects to preserve Flash history through archiving and emulation. And the Ten Second Bible Run, Jesus, Run! a little bit works apart from a visual glitch.Īdobe officially phased out Flash in January 2021. Avoid ’em up Morph is there too (and if you’re into that, check out Disc Room, which is now on Game Pass). The Not To Scale puzzle that transforms into pieces can also be played. You can also play Wonderputt, an imaginative miniature golf game that continues to delight. Because UGH, I know some people won’t go see it if I don’t show it to them. Click here and you can play the post-Portal platformer in seconds and finish it in minutes. The Old Guard declared it one of the favorite RPS games of 2008 and I was still happy to revisit it today. Perhaps most notable is You Have To Burn The Rope, a short, silly game whose title explains it all. They are starting to test and verify the AS3 games that will be playable with this, and have some strong ones in the future. “Today is a big step forward because it’s the beginning of Ruffle supporting more and more AS3 games!” declared the spiritual home of the Flash, Newgrounds. Now, Ruffle finally introduces partial AS3 support, which will hopefully make a lot more ‘newer’ Flash games and things easy to watch again.
Some other Flash emulators require the installation of a browser plugin. Ruffle is a good emulator because websites can embed it, which it means people can just click on a link and start playing. The open source Flash Player emulator, Ruffle, supported earlier versions of the Flash programming language, ActionScript, for a while, but it couldn’t play games made in ActionScript 3. So you can party like it’s 2008 by heading over to Newgrounds and playing You Have To Burn The Rope again, like this like Wonderputt and a handful of others. Now, an unofficial Flash Player emulator is adding support for more classic games, created in the (relatively) new ActionScript 3 language. Many archival and emulation projects are underway to preserve the wonderful history of Flash games, and best of all are those that try to recreate the original experience: simply clicking on a link and then playing a game within your browser.
