https://www.newgrounds.com/ has been around for a long long time and has a wealth of old content built in flash.

Luckily they are creating https://ruffle.rs which is a flash emulator written in rust. All of this fantastic media should be preserved!

Is there any place you can play Desktop Tower Defense without flash?

Seconded, I missed that time-sink game so much, haven't been able to find a replacement.

For some reason all the newer tower defense games use a fixed playing field whereas the original DTD allowed you to build your own defensive walls.

Edit: We really need a Flash Archive

Building your own walls was very exploitable, so I can understand removing the ability.

There are some fantastic TDs that allow you to build your own walls in an open field, they just need to be explicitly balanced around that.

Besides Desktop TD, the other main classic of that subgenre is Bubble Tanks TD: https://armorgames.com/play/4962/bubble-tanks-tower-defense

I haven't tried this, but you could try the Ruffle browser extension. I think it's designed as a drop in replacement for the flash player.

They've also been rendering animations to video for preservation.

Thanks, I was wondering why Mozilla stopped developing Shumway few years ago.

I used to spend hours playing browser games on Miniclip. Heli Attack 1/2/3, 3 Foot Ninja, Hockey Showdown, Dancing Bush, Dino Run... Now I play God of War, Jedi Fallen Order, The Last of Us, Ace Combat, Alien Isolation. How times have changed.
