Found a game on my hard drive that I can't get to work or find anywhere.

I'm pretty sure I know where it was from. There was once a tfgamessite listing of like 10 or so of some guy's old games that were repackaged by a dude to make sure they weren't lost media, but now the listing seems to just be gone.
The game folder comes with 'player.html', but if I use it, chrome says flash is no longer supported, and yet if I actuall try to play it in a flash player it doesn't register it as flash, so I don't really knowhow I can find more about the game or get it to work.

I have no idea where to post this, so hopefully this is an acceptable thread.

I'm not grumpy, I'm just coded that way.

The game is made in HTML and use Flash for it's media, reason why you you get that particular error from Chrome, while not being able to play it with a flash player.

You can try Clean Flash Player ( ).
It's a flash player still updated based on the china version of flash player.

starvoyager I've heard from some online forums that may also be another suitable alternative to play Flash games from either Windows OS/Chrome, etc.

It is a standalone player that can be launched from any browser to play .SWF games on any website...

Maybe try it out and see if it works for you....Fair warning I did a bit of research and supposedly there are some false positives when you go to download/install the SuperNova player that your antivirus would pick up on....

I downloaded the installer but it just quits out of itself at 'updating' and I'm not really sure how to fix it. I really appreciate the effort though! <3
Also your bio/status thing is interesting, kinda cryptic

That's unusual, maybe an antivirus tool somehow picked up on the installer being a malicious app and froze the installation process midway?? :unsure:

But in any event, you could also consider trying out as well, found this the other day when I was doing the initial cursory search on SuperNova.....

Thanks, lmao ;D I like writing poetry in my spare time... and the status slogan is one that I came up with based on a recent poem that I had written....
