    In case you missed the announcement from 3-1/2 years ago, Flash Player is gone forever.

    It's impossible to get Flash Player now.  Why?  Because Apple, Google, Microsoft and Mozilla decided it was time to end ALL browser plugins starting with Java, QuickTime, Silverlight, Shockwave and now Flash Player. The browser vendors forced this to happen, not Adobe.

     

    Your game developers had plenty of time to create new games with other web technologies like HTML5 and JavaScript.  If they didn't do it, that's their problem to solve, not yours.  Ask your game makers if they have other versions you can play.  If not, find other interests that don't require Flash Player like these.   Have fun!

    Listen i have been playing flash games for years in my life, i grew up with mostly cool math and papa louie games most favorable sushiria, and soehow i was still able to play flash games past 2020, sadly i woke up three days ago about to play some papas sushira (i was level 20) and all of the sudden it said flash was no longer support, i had done everything in my power, but in the end it was a lost cause, it had left empty handed with all of my progress down the drain and everything along that, i dont now how adobe had the damn audacity to say "oh i just wanna down flash now, he gives acrap about world wide popular games and beutiful animations, time to bring upon major suffering, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay" how did they think that, deciding to literaly destroy THOUSANDS OF GOOD GAMES just to save a few damn pennies. BRING BACK FLASH NOW.🙎🙎🙎

        Thanks for your feedback.  That particular ship has sailed.  The folks at archive.org and Ruffle.js are doing interesting work preserving old Flash content.  There are a bunch of other threads on here about various efforts to preserve games.  Might be worth a look.
