Explore how open-source emulation and digital preservation projects like Ruffle and Flashpoint Archive are keeping over 150,000 legacy Flash games and animations running on the modern web years after Adobe ended Flash support.
Today, various platforms use a special open source program, Ruffle, to run these old programs directly in browsers, allowing users to relive that era.
Flash Museum
It is a digital preservation project that hosts a massive collection of over 100.000 games and 20.000 cartoons. Its collection includes classics like Salad Fingers, Charlie the Unicorn, and Badger Badger Badger, as well as games like Kingdom Rush, Tanks, Meat Boy, and Happy Wheels.
Newgrounds
It is one of the oldest independent and user-generated art sites. Today, it features special playlists featuring classic titles from the era, such as Stick RPG, while continuing to regularly accept new posts.
