@poninefreak Unfortunately Neo no longer supports old browsers or operating systems. I sent a ticket last month but I doubt I'll ever hear back about it. With the shift to mobile, my solution to shockwave games won't work anymore 

Ah well...

Hi there! If you're tech savvy, and you've tried everything else, I'd recommend downloading a virtual machine, running an old windows version on it (I use XP).

There are plenty of tutorials online on how to use these programs, and they can explain better than me, but here are the files I use

---

Oracle (virtual machine): https://www.oracle.com/virtualization/technologies/vm/downloads/virtualbox-downloads.html

and here's Oracle's tutorial: https://oracle-base.com/articles/vm/virtualbox-creating-a-new-vm

Operating System: https://archive.org/details/WinXPProSP3x86

and Shockwave: https://filehippo.com/fr/download_shockwave/10.1.3.018/ (you won't be able to download it within the virtual machine's internet browser, so you need to download it, then drag and drop into the VM, then install it.

If you don't want to go through all that stress AND you don't care about trophies/avatars/NP (and just want to play for fun): BlueMaxima's Flashpoint is a program with an archive of thousands of old flash and shockwave games that you can download to your desktop. Most Neopets games are on there, including both Hannah games and Gourmet Club Bowls; while Dice Escape and Frumball are on the request list to be added in the future. https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/

I hope this helps ^^

I tried logging in to Neopets on the VM, but it won't let me and the screen is wonky. And I can't drag and drop Shockwave onto the VM either, but I might be doing it wrong...
