Flashpoint Archive (formerly BlueMaxima's Flashpoint ) is an archival and preservation project that allows browser games , web animations and other general rich web applications to be played in a secure format, after all major browsers removed native support for NPAPI /PPAPI plugins in the mid-to-late 2010s as well as the plugins' deprecation.[ 8] [ 9] [ 10] The project contains over 200,000 applications from over 120 browser plugins , most notably Adobe Flash , which can be installed and played using the provided Flashpoint Launcher and its associated tools.
