Games and animation site Newgrounds announced it is working on a way to play Flash content via emulation.
Ruffle is an open source Adobe Flash Player emulator written in Rust. It targets desktop and the web using Web Assembly, so unlike the plugin (which is scheduled for end-of-life in 2020), any security issues would be issues with the web browser itself.
While the creation of new Flash content instead of modern technology seems a Bad Idea, this Soylentil for one would be quite happy to replay some of the classics (which stopped working when the plugin was banned from his system).
[ Ed Note: the source article claims that open source is the reason why there won't be any vulnerabilities: "For anyone who is concerned about Flash's reputation for security - this project is entirely open source and any security issues would be issues with the web browser itself, whereas the traditional Flash plugin was a closed system that created unique opportunities for exploits." - Fnord666]

There was one where you were a miner and shot hooks into the ground to grab nuggets. At the time I had a 20 minute link, plus any files you had to compile (change the wrong header file and you could go home for the day, even if it was 7 AM). That game was a great time sink while waiting for code to link.

// got down to 10 minute links by maxing out RAM in our PCs. Company spent a lot of money researching options.
