Shockwave Games for Mac? Just getting back into Neopets to find that Shockwave is no longer a thing. I'm trying to play games, like Hannah the Pirate Caves, and I cannot find a way to support the game. Is there something compatible that I can download that will allow me to play the games. On a related note, is there any site dedicated to the preservation of old shockwave games, in particular, the many that were on shockwave.com before it became the crapfest that it is today? The Web Archive has simply failed to preserve most of the old games, and many of them do not run properly with modern computers.
