- Security: Sandboxed execution, no plugin vulnerabilities
- Development: Active open-source project
✅ Why This Works
- Orange Roulette uses ActionScript 2
- Ruffle has excellent AS2 support
- Original .swf file preserved intact
- No code modification needed
ℹ️ Other Preservation Methods
- Flashpoint: Offline archive of 170,000+ Flash games
- Internet Archive: Hosts playable Flash content
- Newgrounds Player: Desktop Flash player
Playing Orange Roulette: Browser Compatibility
