Since starting in 2018, the project has saved over 70,000 games and more than 8,000 animations thanks to its band of international contributors. It’s designed to preserve game experiences online for future use even when supporting technologies no longer enable them - which means a lot of its focus is on Flash games. BlueMaxima’s Flashpointįlashpoint is a game preservation project from BlueMaxima. But all is not totally lost: We recommend two different options for Flash activities that may be able to bring some of the spark back. No official downloads are available, and we can’t recommend any third-party sources for this.While this may be a step forward for the internet, it’s a letdown for those who enjoyed traditional Flash games or who worked with Flash in the past and kept their beloved Flash files. From here, download a browser that’s still compatible with Flash 32.0.0.371 (which came out in May 2020) and find a mirror for the same version of Flash.

To do this, set up a virtual machine and install the operating system of your choice (Windows is a good choice.). In essence, you’re running an operating system on top of your existing operating system. Free apps like VirtualBox (and premium ones like VMWare) can create a virtualized environment that poses no immediate threat to your system. If you were to run an older version of Flash that still technically works, you should probably do so in a secure environment like a virtual machine. We include this information here for informational purposes only. It has security vulnerabilities, and there are no more legitimate, official download sources.

In order to use Newgrounds natively, you can either use the Windows-only (and somewhat outdated) Newgrounds Player, or you can download the Ruffle browser extension and try that instead. And, of course, the entire Newgrounds library is still available.
