WhatA service that systematically converts legacy Flash games into playable HTML5/WebAssembly versions with proper licensing from IP holders.
SignalThere is deep nostalgia for browser-based Flash games from the early 2000s, and museums are now curating them as cultural artifacts, but most remain unplayable since Flash's end of life.
Why NowFlash reached end-of-life in 2020, creating a growing archive of unplayable content; WebAssembly and Ruffle (open-source Flash emulator) have matured enough to make faithful conversion feasible at scale.
MarketIP holders (Cartoon Network, Disney, Nickelodeon) pay for preservation/re-monetization; gaming nostalgia market is large but monetization is unclear — competitors include Internet Archive, Flashpoint, and Ruffle.
MoatLicensing relationships with IP holders would be the moat, but securing those deals is extremely difficult and the content itself isn't yours.
