− | Flashpoint | + | Flashpoint started on December 26th 2017, a little while after [https://theblog.adobe.com/adobe-flash-update/ Adobe announced] it was ending Flash at the end of 2020, as an attempt to preserve as many Flash games and applications from the early 2000s and on wards from being forgotten. While it's not technically an "emulator" as some Flash games can be played directly by simply downloading the files and running them, there are also a majority of Flash games designed with <abbr title="Digital Rights Management">DRM</abbr> protections that require it to "talk" with the server it's on to verify it can be played or some games need to be online in order to be used, what Flashpoint does is provide an environment where these games can be played by either mimicking the host server it was on, or by providing external files that where originally sent to the game by the host server. |
− | + | Originally aimed at preserving Flash, it has now shifted to preserve playable for all webgames. | |
