.swf Flash Games

[Zap!]

Who here was a fan of Flash gaming back in the 2000's? I loved playing Fly the Copter (I had this embedded on my MySpace lol!), Springfield Snow Fight, Pingu Throw, Vector Runner, Santa Artois, Line Rider, REDDER, and so many others! What were some of your favorite games? Do you still play any?

 

I've recently gotten back into it. I put a few of my favorites on my board, but finding them can be a challenge. Anyone know of a good source for downloading the .swf files?

Just get BlueMaxima's Flashpoint which lets you download any Flash and Shockwave game off the Internet Archive and play it on a current Windows PC.

 

Plus it keeps your browser free of any Flash's security risk.

 

(I'm using it to play Super Mario Crossover again... )

Thanks, that's really cool. While I wouldn't say it has "any" Flash game (What, no "Slap That Ho!" lol), it has tons. Had quite a lot of fun with it earlier, but is there a way to save games or high scores? Gonna mess with it more tomorrow.

I'd also recommend Ruffle by the Newgrounds staff:

I do not recall all of the details, but I do remember playing a Flash version of Centipede and a few other Classic arcade games. This was long before emulation of the original hardware was feasible.

 

I remember a really cool loader program called the Shock Machine that allowed one to select games from a virtual carousel.

I know someone will say I was looking for hentai so putting this out here first, no, I was looking to run an old flash game and saw this link to github.  I guess some horny coder working for a hentai site had a bunch of those swf games/videos that wouldn't run once Adobe killed the player 4 years ago.  SO they went and took the old flash player and updated it some and maintainted it a bit and released the player both stand alone or as a web app to run stuff on a site (like the hentai one I guess if it's the same person.)  If anyone has some old SWF stuff they want to fiddle with this does work: https://github.com/h-flash/HFlashPlayer
