You Have To Burn The Rope and more classic Flash games are playable in your browser again

rockpapershotgun.com:

Many archival and emulation projects are underway to preserve the wonderful history of Flash games, and best of all are those which try to recreate the original experience: just clicking a link then playing a game inside your browser. Now one unofficial Flash Player emulator is adding support for more classic games, ones made in the (relatively) newfangled ActionScript 3 language. So you can party like it's 2008 by heading over to Newgrounds and playing You Have To Burn The Rope again, as well as Wonderputt and a handful of others.

Open-source Flash Player emulator Ruffle has supported older versions of the Flash programming language, ActionScript, for a while but was unable to play stuff games made in ActionScript 3. Ruffle is a nice emulator because websites can embed it, meaning folks can just click on a link and start playing. Some other Flash emulators require installing a browser plugin. Now, Ruffle is finally introducing partial AS3 support, which will hopefully make many more 'newer' Flash games and things easy to see again.

"Today is a big step forward because it's the beginning of more and more AS3 games being supported by Ruffle!" declared the spiritual home of Flash, Newgrounds. They're starting to test and verify AS3 games which will become playable with this, and have some strong ones out the gate.

Perhaps most notable is You Have To Burn The Rope, a short and silly game whose title explains everything. The Old Guard declared it one of RPS's favourite games of 2008 and I was still pleased revisiting it today. Click here and you can play the post-Portal platformer within seconds, and finish it within minutes.

You can also play Wonderputt, an imaginative minigolf game which still delights. Piece-morphing
