launcher VS ruffle

There's also the Flashpoint Archive.

The game was saved by someone in one of those Flash achive projects, if you’re willing to download stuff. I’m not at my computer at the moment but I’m pretty sure the one I found it in was Flashpoint

It's a Flash game, right? If so, it should be on BlueMaxima's Flashpoint: https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/

You cound try Bluemaxima's Flashpoint, im a big fan of it https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/

Have you checked the Flashpoint collection for other possible matches?

You can play it with flashpoint or newgrounds player.

Get Flashpoint. It has most flash games from back in the day, and you can choose which ones to have on your PC.

Ruffle.

Since I know people are probably going to start reminiscing on old flash games on this post, here's a thing that lets you play them: https://ruffle.rs/

You can get old Flash games running with Ruffle without having to deal with the old Flash plugin itself.

And even if you do want it, you can always just install the Ruffle extension[1]

I, too, was surprised about Flash. I'm an older dev but I never got into Flash in the heyday of the 90s internet. Weird right? So many people were really into using Flash games and apps, I just completely ignored it. Only since Flash End-of-Life prompted multiple people to contact me asking if this VF browser could support Flash.

At first I dismissed this as just a really niche and weird use case. But over time, and more and more people asking about this I thought, "maybe I'm wrong about this." So I looked into it and discovered Ruffle, which is basically a massive project with 100s of thousands of users. It's also pretty cool.

And then, finally, 20 years after the heyday, I started trying out Flash games and movies and apps for this integration. And I found out they're actually really cool. There's a whole deep reservoir of really creative, and moving, and entertaining content that was expressed in Flash--and tho I'm sure this must be obvious to some people--I was never aware of it.

So why do I want Flash? Indeed, it's the question you ask before you realize how cool Flash, or the Flash content, really is. Maybe you look at that and still think Flash is not for you, but at least then you can appreciate why so many people love it.

This work is based on this project on GitHub:

The version used in the above live demo has many advanced features (as you can see in the comparison[0]), including, Flash now as well. Thanks to the wonderful Ruffle Flash emulator project, written in Rust[1]

Update: I got the ruffle.rs extension and played the SWF. The SWF is simply an animation of 16 plus-sign shapes, with every 4 plus-signs having 4 different colors: salmon, yellow, lime-green, and cyan. The animation shows them moving around, and then displays simply one word: "welcome".
