Try Adobe has left a building[^]
More than likely this'll open most adobe legacy formats. Those formats are the one's that used to be supported but are no longer being maintained.

Nope. It plays .flv, but not .swf.
(From the description, it looks as if they look upon Flash as a pure video file wrapper, ignoring the interaction function of .swf files.)

That tool is clearly a way of playing an explicit list of Flash based games. If you've got a Flash game not on the list, you may submit it for inclusion, and then you can download it into the player. That is something else than playing .swf files locally.
And then: "478GB download, 532GB when extracted"??? What the mammoth??? You can select a 'compact' version that 'only' fills 2 GB initially, but every game new game is downloaded into some sort of internal database or storage, so they recommend setting off at least 10 gigabytes for the player.
Jeez!
(The flashplayer suggested by Gerry Schmitz, which successfully does play .swf files, is less than 16 megabytes.)

I must confess I never used it myself, but saw a positive comment on AlternativeTo.

I've not tried it, but a coworkers shared this recently:

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yes, it seems to work - but it seems like the developers have no idea about how Windows user interfaces are made! A file explorer window opens; that is it. But it works, at least for the .swf files I've got (the documentation says that several features are not yet implemented, but apparently, my files do not make use of those features).
I wish they had a better UI, but as it seems to do the job, I will keep it as an alternative. Thanks.

I've bookmarked it after you posted it and listened to it yesterday.
Certainly something I'll listen to more often
Going to recommend to some friends as well

I implemented a special feature for one of our customers in the current generation of one of our products. A couple of weeks ago they asked to have it added to the older generation as well. No problem, right?
Wrong.
I've backfit about 80% of the code changes, and I just realized something. The older code base uses K&R braces. The new code base has been reformatted for Allman braces. I've been copy/pasting bits of code for the last several days, and just noticed.
I'm doomed.
