Flash games are back
Flashgames were once a massive part of online gaming culture, especially from the early 2000s to the mid-2010s. These simple, browser-based games, made using Adobe Flash, were widely accessible to anyone with an internet connection. They covered a wide range of genres, from platformers and puzzles to strategy and action games, providing quick, casual fun without needing downloads or powerful hardware.
However, the decline of Adobe Flash, especially after Adobe ended support in 2020, led to the disappearance of these games from modern browsers. Fortunately, efforts to preserve them have emerged, such as the Flash Games Archive, a dedicated project to collect and preserve as many of these games as possible. The archive provides an extensive library of classic Flash titles, ensuring that future generations can access these nostalgic experiences.
Thanks to the Ruffle Flash player emulator we are able to play flash games again!
