Fast forward 20 years, fast-paced development from large tech companies has enabled open standards capable of creating rich web applications and games. Over one hundred thousand Flash games were developed and possibly as many Flash animations representing a generation of the early internet. Once the technology was purchased by Adobe Inc, Flash player use grew to support an entire platform of games and apps. However, it was quickly adapted to created games. Originally, Flash was created to play animations. A company called Macromedia, which was an early developer of the Flash plugin was the first to see the Flash technology grow. Early browsers like Netscape, Internet Explorer and early versions of Chrome didn't have the ability to create complex animations. When the internet was new, web pages consisted of just text, images, and links. However HTML5 is the future, offering the only true way to keep them embedded in browsers and playable across more devices.The Flash Player is a browser plugin previously used to play online games before browsers could handle animations natively. We believe the Supernova player offers an important extra way to immediately preserve our Flash games for players who want them. Nitrome are still committed to converting our back catalogue to run in HTML5. You can download it by clicking on any of the Flash games and following the download buttons.Ĭurrently the player is Windows only (Their site says a Mac version will come and if it does we will support it) and works on Edge and Chrome browsers. Roughly speaking Supernova contains it's own browser that has a Flash Player built into it and it is this that allows the games to run. Once downloaded clicking on the games will run them as before with one small difference in that they will now appear in a new window. We are doing this with the aid of a downloadable player called Supernova. The games are still technically running in Flash so they will run exactly as they did in the past.
This confirms that the file is actually a Flash document.
Make sure that the Save as type shows as Shockwave Flash Object, SWF File, or something similar. Simply right-click the link ending in '.swf' that you found earlier and choose Save link as to download it to your computer.
We have now launched a solution to let our users play all 130+ Nitrome Flash games on the site. Now you can download the SWF file that contains the Flash game.
