Countdown to the End of Adobe Flash

Welp, I can't access my courses anymore. I'll need to find the version of Flash JUST before the killswitch, now, and hopefully not run into malware sites :/

Has anyone saved Rokko Chan? That was a really fun Mega Man clone.

If I remember correctly, that game had hooks in it that prevented you from just downloading the .swf file and playing it offline, so either the dev would need to implement flash emulation, or someone would need to know what the backend code was to preserve it elsewhere.

That's a real shame. It's ancient so I'll bet the dev has moved on.

I had a working offline version of Rokko Chan, but I lost it when my hard drive crashed and I can't remember where I got it.

Douple post: I found this random forum post with a download link to a standalone version of Rokko Chan. Too lazy to check if it works, though it appears to exist.

That's fantastic, I'll be trying that later!

I just verified that, yes, that version of Rokko Chan works perfectly fine. All is well.

Anyhow here's a funny (and/or horrifying) story about how the killswitch in flash hobbled the rail system of a town in China for a day:
