Hello. I don't know if Armor Games receives this post but.. I'm typing it anyway. I've heard about Flash Player will close itself in 2020 and most of the browsers (Chrome, firefox, etc.) will drop support from flash. What are we going to do? If Armor Games wants to live their site, they MUST mount a new thing to open that games. I hope they found it. (I don't want to lose this site, Armor Games is a great site with great games. I hope they found something.)
CRITICAL EDIT: A person named MSI I2 posted a site ( https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/ ) this site is for a program called "Flashpoint by BlueMaxima" which lets you download and play games even after 2020! MSI I2 Said: "Hope you all see this. It is a program that allows the download directly to your PC of any Flash Games, it also includes the vast majority of Armor Games' works, so go use it.

PD: You can also request games to be anexed to the platform, so you can continue to play them after 2020!"
I think that there must be a way to start the game through a flash player using the capabilities of the Armorgames website (possibly using a server). After all, now there are sites that run games through certain programs. For example: http://www.ps1fun.com/
We have to find an other way for these games. If flash player closes itself, we'll use it. If flash player don't (I hope so) we'll continue using it like no thing happened.
Hope you all see this. It is a program that allows the download directly to your PC of any Flash Games, it also includes the vast majority of Armor Games' works, so go use it.

I'll be on the safe side with my browser loopholing, but yeah, not everyone is determined to certain or in general Flash-only content. Offline is mostly safe through archivation, the real issue is drop of online features likewise could happen anytime, only thing is that we pretty well know the exact period already and that's for thousands of them.
Pfff I can't even play flash games now. I can't get the option to lower graphic quality or maybe I could limp by, but no, that's not an option in my right click.
I asked this question in an HTML group I am in and this is what one of the more experienced programmers responded back to me with
Sorry how it comes out for some reason quotes in here lose all formatting!
[quote]A lot of game web devs are moving to HTML 5 and using game engines like Unity. Earlier versions of the Unity engine were kind of hit or miss while the more recent versions of Unity are a lot better supported across browsers.
Unity utilizes the HTML 5 canvas element for drawing complex objects. I recommend using a HTML 5-based engine like Unity (there are others) when developing new games for the web.
I recently saw an actual HTML 5 port of a really good Flash-based game by the original dev. The port was pretty clean and accurate. So some devs might come back and redo their earlier work in HTML 5, but those will be few and far between.
Mozilla had a project called Shumway:
https://github.com/mozilla/shumway
But Mozilla has since killed the project off. The source code is there for anyone wanting to pick up where Mozilla left off. Note that it's been 4 years since the last commit, which means the last commit was well before the WebExtension plugin-pocalypse from a couple of years ago,
meaning a ton of work is likely necessary to get it working under modern Firefox.

There's a ton of good Flash content that should be preserved as it represents a hefty chunk of Internet time. It might be possible to use Shumway or parts of it plus a proxy server to render Flash content in a modern browser as HTML 5.
Another possible option is to find an old version of Firefox Portable, disable automatic updates, and use that browser for the occasional Flash-based website/game. I know some people keep a copy of Firefox 52 (32-bit) around for the Java plugin support, so there will probably also be a bunch of people who keep a version of Firefox specifically for accessing Flash content.
