Ruffle can emulate many Flash games. Ruffle doesn't support ActionScript 3 yet, but it's a good program to keep an eye on.

sadly Ruffle doesn't support OPENGL on native desktop so you can't emulate flash on desktop if your hardware doesn't have vulkan support... but you still can open using browser addons..

it's still big issue on ruffle because you need modern graphic card support only for playing old flash game ? really....

An open source emulator for flash that has potential to run better for flash. Still in development - but has so much potential.
