There are many flash game archival sites that use Ruffle, a flash player alternative, that you can play your favorite games on.

Omg yeah as someone born in the early 2000s I LOVED Flash Games. I remember Poptropica. I also loved the Henry Stickmin games, Super Mario 63, Riddle School, etc... thankfully Ruffle exists although weirdly enough while I miss that era I don't really use Ruffle much to play them anymore. Kind of like I've moved on, even though I miss them. I guess it's because I less-so miss them and more-so miss how it felt back then... then again though Henry Stickmin and Mario 63 both got remakes of sorts in the form of the Henry Stickmin Collection and Super Mario 127. There's also the Papa games, like Papa's Freezeria which got some deluxe version on Steam.

It's nice to see that some of those creators are still around upgrading their games to still be played to this day... I'll forever miss Flash though.

I remember this one pacman website I would go to when I was REAL young. It had all sorts of things on it, a news page, various fan animations, and, of course, flash games.


There was a classic pacman clone, kind of in the typical flash game style. There was this ninja themed platformer where you were a ninja pacman going through various levels and collecting dots, and I remember this kind of 3D looking halloween themed pacman game where you go through various mazes in a haunted mansion type environment.


I kinda miss that website. It was a part of my earliest obsession lol.

I don't exactly miss them because I use flashpoint to play my favorites every now and then, my favorite ones were the ones Stickdeath and Abobo's adventure on Newgrounds.

Odd story, but the first time I heard the song 'Melissa' from FMA was when I played a flash game called 'Final sonic fantasy 5' (or something like that), it was like a rpg story game about sonic, for that one in particular you played as supersonic with a red sword fighting some dungeon guardian or something, it was weird, always lost, but kept playing lol.


There was also that one Sonic custom character maker flash game that I would spend hours makign characters on.

I once played a Flash game based on the Star Wars: Rogue Squadron trilogy called Star Wars: Rogue Squadron Flash Edition and it was a lot of fun! Those were the days.

I also miss them bro. Do anyone remember the Mario Bros remake made with flash? The one that made possible to play as the contra guy, samus, simon belmont, megaman. Super Mario Crossover! Meat Boy and the binding of isaac! And a lot of flash games too.

I currently know of 3 different options for playing Flash games in 2024:


1. The most popular of these options is to download the Ruffle emulator onto your web browser (though unfortunately, some games may not work, especially Actionscript 3 games).

2.ย  BlueMaxima's Flashpoint which can run not only Adobe Flash games, but also other types of games such as Java, Unity 3D, and Adobe Shockwave games (though you may have to alter some antivirus settings to install Flashpoint if you're using Avast like I am). Some games may not have been added to Flashpoint yet, though.

3. Pale Moon with Adobe Flash Player versionย 32.0.0.371 (the very last version released before the killswitch was added in later versions of the official Flash Player). I've tested it and it runs like a charm. I can even play Avatar High and Avatar U with Pale Moon + Flash which I unfortunately can't do with Firefox + Ruffle.

Flashpoint is a great application to get at nearly all flash games ever made these days. I use it to play some of my childhood favorites like the Papa's games, Run, Stick War, Raft Wars, Super Mario Bros Crossover, etc

FLASH GAMES WERE MY CHILDHOOD!!!!ย (หš หƒฬฃฬฃฬฅโŒ“ห‚ฬฃฬฃฬฅ )ย 

When we first got our family computer in 2011, I stumbled upon an online game website called 85play. I would play so many fan-made Sonic and Mario games! Then I discovered Newgrounds when I played a game called Super Mario Bros Z. Those were the good old days. I really miss this era of online games T_Tย 

(I still play some of the games I used to play as a child. But some of them seemed to be lost or something)

I started playing flashgames at the late 2010', and it's actualy sad how most of the games that i once played as a child are no longer aviable because of the shutdown of adobe flash, It's alike loosing a part of my childhood that is no longer accesible, but i'm glad i got to play those flashgames, the happy memories still remainย

Hot Take: the only good things about Flash games are the games
themselves not the format. I feel like browsers have evolved enough to
make the proprietary Adobe Flash Player obsolete. This doesn't mean I
dislike Flash games I just don't get why some people want Adobe Flash to
come back when it just wouldn't work now.ย 

TLDR: We don't need a flash player alternative when JS can do so much more now, we just need people to create flash-like games
