Games Thursday : Playing Flash Games Offline with opera:cache + Adobe Flash 9 Debug Players
I usually download Flash games with the help of my trusty Opera Browser via Tools > Advanced > Cache and search for either .swf or the domain name of the server hosting the Flash game. It’s easy to get the Flash game this way if all the content has been packaged into a single .swf file. For games which are contained in multiple swfs, you have to download all associated .swfs and replicate the directory structure. Anyway, this post is not about downloading multi-swf games so I will leave it to another time.
Once I downloaded a Flash game, I used to drag and drop it into any browser (usually opera) with the Flash plugin installed and play the game offline. Most games work perfectly fine for me this way except that the Flash plugin for my Opera browser doesn’t work too well and guzzles up a lot of memory after a while.
I chanced upon this page on Adobe Flash Player Support Center where Adobe offers free downloads of “Projector Content Debuggers / Debug Players” which are essentially the same as those self-executable SWF projectors but without any SWF content. This means that these “Debug Players” double as standalone players for any .swf file you have on hand

Download Windows, Linux and Macintosh versions of the Flash 9 debug players from Adobe Flash Player Support Center (Select the Projector Content Debuggers not Plugin Content Debuggers – those will install a debug version of the Flash player into a specific browser which is A Very Bad Thing™).
