I just noticed that there was a new Gemcraft game out, but it uses the latest Flash plugin, so if you want to play the game as a Linux user, you'll have to use Chrome, or try and do it through Wine.
....but not really, because I came across this link:

So it seems that if you can download the SWF and use the JPEXS Flash Decompiler, and you can find the part of the ActionScript that checks Flash version, you can modify it so it believes all is well.

Here's a link to JPEXS:

Interesting. Image

I have wondered why someone hadn't come up with a way to have the installed flash player simply represent itself as a later version.

There is an old hack where you actually edit the flash binary... I can't remember for sure if there was a limitation on how recent a Flash it could pretend to be.
