Itch.io has Flash games [formerly abandoned by Adobe, now "open" with Raffle support] : pcgaming@lemmy.ca

Flash games have been playable for all this time through Flashpoint. I've had a very fun time replaying some of my childhood browser games on there: https://flashpointarchive.org/

But that is not hosted on a webserver to be playable right in the browser. Integration of Ruffle into itch io also comes with the eco system and community, and the comments of each game for free. And it can be played on systems where you cannot install Flashpoint. So still a useful thing to have.

Of course, more options is a good thing. I just provided something that may interest people.

I agree and my reply was also in favor of providing more options. I took your initial reply the wrong way.

I used Flashpoint in the past too. One of the best things about it, one can download all games it archives in one go, but its bigger than 2 TBytes (!), so I never did. But I love this option to have and one day want to archive it on my external drive. Otherwise one can also install the much, much smaller on demand version, where games will be download when you want to play them. Edit: And I forgot to mention, Flashpoint is not just for Flash games, but has much much more types included.

I also see they have proper support for Linux now, because in the past it wasn't that good: Download Page on Website, Wiki Page about their Linux support, Downloads directly from their repository (where one can download a Linux AppImage I think). I guess its time to get into it again, because I actually prefer it.
