New Games: When launching a game, if there is existing game data and there has been new game data added via a metadata update, then the user is asked whether it should update to the new game data...

Flashpoint Archive is a community effort to preserve games and animations from the web.

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.

    Just gonna say, my least favorite part of their project is how they have an external manager for Flashpoint. It took me a little while to realize this after trying again and again to update from 12 to 14 in Flashpoint, only to have it die again and again. Love the project but damn I wish they’d have something in settings to either tell you where the manager is or open the right folder in case you’re like me and dumb enough not to notice the folder containing it.
