Nice. Glad to see someone is doing this. Everyone on HN hates on things like Flash, but they were genuinely innovative technologies that showed the world what was possible online. And the content was unmatched. The Internet today can’t compare.

Can't tell if they have the entirety of Homestar Runner preserved, but I'm very glad to see they have some of it.

A shame that they require a special software download. Do we not have any web-based Flash renderers yet? Seems like WASM should be able to do anything.
TechSquidTV•32m ago
I thought the same. But it is necessary for the vast majority of games. It is not just an emulator for the .swf (and other formats) content you need, you often need bespoke proxy servers and server emulators to bypass some of the old DRM.

There's ruffle: https://ruffle.rs/

iirc support is generally good, but some versions of flash/actionscript have issues (at least last time I checked).

If you’re interested in legal torrenting but GNU/Linux images are too small for you, this is for you.

Wouldn’t this still be technically a copyright violation? It seems unlikely this is all public domain stuff.

A bit sad not to find the whole collection of Larry Carlson's animations in there (only a few games.) Also, need full archive of Joe Cartoon!
