Do You have your favorite old game files with .swf extension that you want to play?


Here is what worked for me:

You may try online player https://ruffle.rs/demo/

OR offline player below:

1) download torrent (source is archive.org (https://archive.org/details/adobe-flash-player-projector) and virustotal tested, clean, link below):
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:b67352abae57f8b9fe379ff2d49284 a0396a7649&dn=adobe-flash-player-projector&tr=http%3a%2f%2fbt1.archive.org%3a6969%2fannounce&tr=http%3a%2f%2fbt2.archive.org%3a6969%2fannounce&ws=http%3a%2f%2fia601802.us.archive.org%2f23%2fite ms%2f&ws=https%3a%2f%2farchive.org%2fdownload%2f


2) Go to destination folder and either

A) on >>>Windows<<<, run flashplayer_32_sa.exe

Right click .swf file, select to Open with..., select that flashplayer .exe file and tick to always open .swf with it.

B) on >>>Linux<<<, extract archive flash_player_sa_linux.x86_64.tar.gz using command: tar -xzf *

Execute command: ./flashplayer

You can copy full path to flashplayer file, right click some .swf file, select to Open with..., paste the flashplayer path and tick to always use it.

You are presented with a player where you can select .swf file to play.
