Terms, Legal & Takedowns

Terms of use

By using this site you agree to the following, which we have kept short because nobody reads long ones: the site is provided for personal, non-commercial entertainment; don’t attempt to disrupt, scrape at abusive volume, or misuse the service; don’t frame the site to strip its attributions; and the site may change or discontinue any feature at any time. If you do not agree, the exit is the back button.

Content and copyright

The games playable on this site are historical Flash software preserved by and streamed directly from the Internet Archive, where they are made publicly available. This site does not host game files; it provides a catalog, an in-browser emulator (Ruffle), and original editorial context. We believe making abandoned, otherwise-unplayable software accessible for preservation and study serves the public interest, and we actively curate the catalog toward freely distributed and self-published works.

Takedown requests

If you are a rights holder and want a game removed from this site’s catalog, email takedowns@ this domain with the game’s page URL and a statement of your rights. We will remove the listing promptly — normally within 72 hours — no formalities required. Repeat or bulk requests are honored the same way. For removal from the Internet Archive itself, contact archive.org directly.

Privacy

Covered in full, briefly, on the Privacy Policy page. Summary: no accounts, no personal data, one anonymous taste cookie you can inspect or destroy, plus aggregate analytics.

Warranty and liability

The site and its games are provided “as is,” without warranty of any kind. The games are decades old, occasionally unfair, and provided exactly as recovered. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Bureau is not liable for any damages arising from use of the site — including, but not limited to, lost afternoons, unearned confidence, and rekindled grudges against particular water levels.
