Flashpoint Archive is a project to preserve games and animations playable on web browsers. Major web browsers can no longer run over 100,000 of them due to removing NPAPI support.[7][8][9] An Australian, Ben Latimore, started it in 2018 as part of Archive Team.[10][11][12] A program allows the collection, which is 900 gigabytes, to be used by simulating the Internet.[13][14]
It is named after and focused on Flash, but also supports Shockwave,[15] Silverlight, Java, Unity Web Player and many more,[16] as well as frameworks, such as ActiveX. 51 web technologies are preserved.[17]
It is not known if the project is legal, but creators can ask for their programs to be removed.[7]
Flashpoint has two main versions: Ultimate and Infinity. Ultimate has all games and animations from the start, while Infinity downloads their files when needed. There is also a Core version made for adding them, which has a tiny amount.[18]
