;Flash Player
:The proprietary reference player, which Adobe stopped directly supporting at the end of 2020 and has since fully delisted from their website. The plugin version has a built-in kill-switch that was flipped in January 2021, so it's probably not much use even in browsers that still support NPAPI, but the desktop player version is still usable if you download it from an archived version of the Adobe website. Harman International is also [https://airsdk.harman.com/flashplayer maintaining an extended support version specifically for enterprise users].
:Despite the hard discontinuation and a lack of support for user-friendly features such as URL spoofing, Flash Player still remains by far the most capable desktop player for Flash games as of mid-2023. If a Flash game is listed in [[Flashpoint]], it almost certainly uses Flash Player to run the SWF.
:Harman International is also [https://airsdk.harman.com/flashplayer maintaining an extended support version specifically for enterprise users]. Zhongcheng also continues to maintain its own version specifically for Chinese users, but you shouldn't get it directly from them because it'll be full of bundled malware.
;:Clean Flash Player
::A third-party An unofficial effort that takes the still-active Zhongcheng/Flash.cn version of Flash Player and repacks it minus as much spyware and adware malware as the Clean Flash project can remove. This might be the better option if you're looking for an NPAPI player specifically.
