"Adobe Flash (previously Macromedia Flash) is arguably the largest
treasure trove of unpreserved gaming history today. Spanning literal
tens of thousands of games over a period of twenty years, the library of
Flash games, breadth and depth, outlives any other game console on the
market. And in two years it might all go away."

An important preservation project.  This is a significant platform and
part of the history of computer games.  Any time a platform goes away,
it's crucial to have some sort of preservation to avoid vast numbers of
works being lost.

Share and enjoy,
