'''BlueMaxima’s Flashpoint''' is an ongoing [[Preservation projects|preservation effort ]] for games designed in commercial web frameworks. Named after [[Flash ]] (which Adobe says it will discontinue in 2020), the maintainers have preserved over 30,000 games since its inception. The full list of games is available via the [http://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/datahub/Game_Master_List "Game Master List"] on their wiki. Flashpoint covers games (and tools) developed in Adobe Flash, Adobe Shockwave, Unity Web Player, Java Applets, Microsoft Silverlight, ActiveX, 3DVIA Player, 3D Groove GX, PopCap Plugin, and HTML5.
Flashpoint (and every game in it) was originally released as one gigantic download until a system was developed to download these games on-the-fly. The full download (which, upon completion, requires no further internet connection to use) has since been retroactively titled "Flashpoint Ultimate", and the "lite" version was given the name "Flashpoint Infinity". When the limitations of Launchbox started to show, a discrete launcher was developed. Flashpoint currently does not have a built-in updater, but the team says a differential updater will be available in the next version.<ref>[https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/datahub/Help_Wanted_List Help Wanted List]. Datahub. "We've figured out the details of a differential updater, and are working on squashing the remaining bugs and improving the user experience. An updater for Flashpoint Ultimate will be released soon."</ref>
