Shockwave

Adobe Shockwave was a browser-based multimedia platform for interactive applications and video games.

At April 9, 2019, Adobe Shockwave discontinued and the Shockwave player for Windows is no longer available for download.

Retiring the Shockwave player for Windows is the last step in a multi-year process: Adobe Director, an authoring tool for Shockwave content, was discontinued on February 1, 2017 and the Shockwave player for macOS was discontinued on March 1, 2017.
