Washington Post Gaming | Newgrounds founder Tom Fulp on preserving two decades of Flash games @Launcher | Uploaded April 2021 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
The Washington Post's video game team Launcher sat down with Tom Fulp, founder of the popular creator-content website Newgrounds. He started the website in 1995, but the website didn't really kick off until 1999, when it fully embraced Adobe Flash creative suite, which allowed websites to transform from simple text and images to videos, animations, games and more.
When Adobe stopped support for Flash, his website had more than two decades worth of content that would stop functioning. His solution? An in-browser program called Ruffle that emulates what Flash Player use to be. Relive old Newgrounds memories and see what else he has to say about the future of his site here.
