Adobe Flash was accessible to beginners and turned the web into an indie game publishing venue, but had severe performance and security problems and did not survive the 2010s. Flashpoint Archive is an online repository of the staggering number of games and animations that used to run in the browser—and otherwise require translation to other languages to run at all on contemporary operating systems. It's a revival of an earlier project, now handed over to new maintainers.
Internet history and culture is important, and the web is evolving at such a rapid pace that what might be commonplace today could be obsolete tomorrow. This project is dedicated to preserving as many experiences from these platforms as possible, so that they aren't lost to time. Since December 2017, over 200,000 games and animations have been preserved across more than a hundred browser plugins and web technologies.
