This Flash Player emulator lets you securely play your old games
2021-02-06 14:05

A Flash Player emulator called 'Ruffle' allows you to play your archived Flash games without fear of being attacked as you browse the web.

Later that month, a kill switch in Adobe Flash Player came alive that prevents Flash content in the player.

While the end of Adobe Flash Player and browser plugins is a good thing, it does pose a problem for those who have amassed a large collection of Flash games over the years that they can no longer use.

Ruffle is a Flash Player emulator written in the Rust programming language that has run every one of the old school SWF games that I could throw at it.

"Ruffle is a Flash Player emulator written in Rust. Ruffle runs natively on all modern operating systems as a standalone application, and on all modern browsers through the use of WebAssembly."

If you have an extensive collection of Flash games and no Adobe Flash Player to play them, the standalone desktop Ruffle player is a great option to allow you to play your old games in Windows, Linux, and Mac OS..
