The memories… I often wondered what would happen to those wonderful Orisinal mini games after Flash's death, without actually checking out the site. Would Ferry Halim find the time to port them to "HTML5"? Would they just… disappear forever? It turns out that they know run in Ruffle[1], a Rust/WASM based Flash Player emulator I've never heard of (or forgotten about). The handful of them that I have tested work... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

shrug It finds its uses. It's just not that overstated. Sandspiel is quite popular and is built using WASM: https://sandspiel.club/ Google Earth - https://blog.chromium.org/2019/06/webassembly-brings-google-earth-to-more.html Ruffle (the "make Flash run safely" tool) - https://ruffle.rs/ Ableton's Learning Synths - https://learningsynths.ableton.com/ etc etc. It's just hard to tell when something is using... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

I was amazed that the site still runs, apparently still using the same engine. But it seems that it was a flash site (of course), and archive.org seems to replace Flash Player with "Ruffle" [1].

The FlashPoint Collection has preserved over 170,000 games and animations: https://flashpointarchive.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

I love these kinds of sandbox games, Orb Farm was super nice to have it running directly in the browser for a little procrastination break.

The Powder Toy probably fits this. As the name suggests, it's more of a toy than a game, and you may have already played a form of it if you're older.
