When Adobe announced that it would end Flash in 2020, it put the final nail in a coffin that Steve Jobs had commissioned with his rejection of a tool that Google also later despised. But Flash was also an important part of the Internet's adolescence with its animations - how to forget Electronic Calico or the poets' eggs - and their games. A website is responsible for preserving both so they do not get lost when their funeral arrives.

15 years ago, long before the phones were smart and the applications were counted by tens of millions, flash games for the browser were a valid leisure alternative, at least to kill a few minutes. Pages like miniclip or Addicting Games were a must on the home computer, but also in classrooms, libraries and jobs when they were available.

Flashpoint, the Bluemaxima preservation project, will try to preserve this legacy. At the moment they have more than 38,000 games and 2,400 animations and have asked for help to increase the collection before it is too late.

Anyone can download both Flashpoint 7.1 Infinity and Flashpoint 7.1 Ultimate . The first is a kind of emulator from which you can download individual titles, while Ultimate is a 24-GB-huge file with absolutely all the content.

As Blue Maxima explains in his section of frequently asked questions, although they appreciate the collaborations, they do not accept donations for their project "out of respect for the developers whose work can be found in Flashpoint". In any case, if someone wants their work to disappear from this file, they can request it. "We will probably try to convince you to let us keep your game for its historical value, but we are not irrational."
