Since Adobe is basically killing flash games/movies by discontinuing the plugin a team of freelancers creator what amounts to a flash game emulator and are working on archiving as many flash games as they can for preservation before the sites hosting them start going down.
They already have 6GB of games in the current release of the archive and the download is here for those that don’t want to click on the Discord server in the Reddit thread:

Moby blaster better be on there…
If it isn’t you can request it in the Discord server and provide a lead to help the people working on the archive track it down.
The dev that’s in the Reddit thread said they managed to track down an archive of some obscure game that isn’t been playable online for 11 years and get it patched up for the archive.
So nothing it out of bounds to ask for.
Wait what.
What’s happening with Flash?
Adobe is discontinuing the web plugin by 2020 and since it won’t be updated any longer many browsers are making plans to remove support for it.
So flash games are now at risk of facing a complete apocalypse and mass-extinction. This project is seeking to back-up and make playable on their own system as many as they can before the sites start going down.
They will pry Pony Generator and Sonic Snake from my cold, dead hands
Go to the discord and suggest them if they aren’t already in the archive
What is Adobe THINKING?!
They aren’t, apparently.
Since they’re basically making a boneheaded move that will kill an entire medium of online games by killing broswer-based flash,
SOMEONE SAVE THE SHOCKWAVE GAMES
It’s being worked on but there’s some weird quarks with how Shockwave works (like the engine being hard-coded to look for the projector in the default install location) that needs worked around somehow.
