Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/286/
Damn, ".swf"
SWF vector animations are incredibly resilient, actually. I can still pull my saved SWF memes, and run them through Ruffle at modern resolution, or Swivel to get 60 fps 4K lossless MP4 versions, or bigger. Kind of cool.
And you can still uncompile them. I even discovered some credits and commentaries written in a hidden area of "Zero Wing Rhapsody" (speaking of Aybabtu) put here by the creator. Felt like geeky archeology.
If you're into emulation, it's a legitimately good sidescrolling shmup, and if I remember right, the music was great as well.
It's just that absymal translation that launched it into meme status.
All your codebase belong to us!
