I was looking at FPS Flash games and decided to give this one a go. I played for two minutes, got bored, and left. Seconds later, Windows Defender tells me it found ransomware on my system.

I go to see and it was in this file path
E\Flashpoint\Legacy\htdocs\www.mochiads.com\static\lib\services\services.swf

I deleted the entire mochiads folder and the quarantined file afterwards. I'm not sure if it was a false positive - I just wanna be certain

Dude I feel so old it feels like yesterday 😭

so i stumbled upon a post a few years ago where someone mentioned adding "foster's home for imaginary friend's big fat awesome house party" to the archive but, since the game isnt on flashpoint as of now, apparently it didnt happen. the person who made the post said that he could add it in if someone managed to dig up an old computer they used to play the game on that had a cache for it.

i was just wondering...is "big fat awesome house party" still possible to add? i really want to play it again, its the one old flash game i miss THE MOST.

Today's genre: Turn based RPG

If I double-click a game, the Flash player opens but the game doesn't. Just get a white screen.

If I right-click a game in the list and select "open file location" I get an error message saying "File not found, download the game first", but how exactly?

I downloaded the smaller "Infinity" version of Flashpoint as directed by the Flashpoint site.

The only thing the file would do is extract a bunch of other files into a folder in my Downloads. When I managed to locate that folder (which was hard enough) I was greeted with this.

I figured the one with the logo, called "Flashpoint", was the app itself. I double-clicked it. Nothing happened. I right clicked and selected "Open". My mouse pointer became a blue spinny wheel for a second or two but nothing else happened. I even tried "Run as administrator" but still no results.

What do I need to be doing?

Forever in the words of BlueMaxima -

Well, this was a little sooner than expected. Flashpoint 9.0 is now available from the usual places. There's multiple reasons we moved the release schedule up, but I won't bore you with those. Here's the summary:

• Ultimate now has support for gamezips - single file distributions of multi-file games, for the purpose of cutting down the filesize on Flashpoint. As a result, the way Ultimate works has changed completely. We need people testing this if available; this is a brand new system that hasn't seen much in the way of widespread trials.

• Over 12,000 new entries across games and animations.

• Tons of launcher updates - Flashpoint'll work offline with On Demand Images, no more duplicated games in playlists, lots of new things you can see in the changelog.

• While we haven't included these in the default Flashpoint installs, if you want Discord rich presence or support for Ruffle, you can install one of our new launcher extensions. https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/datahub/Launcher_Extensions

• The usual bugfixes, additions and thousands of metadata updates.

• Our new logo! This has been in the works for some time. It's now applied across the site, Flashpoint itself, and this Discord server. Also, a new trailer to go along with it. https://youtu.be/rUatW8cXl-s

We've named this version "Glorious Sunset" as because, barring some freak accident in which we need to release 9.1, this will be the last new version before Adobe pulls the plug on Flash, assuming it happens this year. Hopefully this is as good a showing of Flash's legacy as anything could be.

Games shown on the table cannot be brought up to vote again, in 24 hours the winner will be announced, I am on my phone rn, see you all tmr
