Flashpoint
Flashpoint it a big archive of flash games that you can download and play. It includes most of my games, and as its a "preservation project" it is likely to be around for a long time
Y8.comIf you find one of my games on Y8.com you will see a link do download the Y8 browser, which will enable you to play any of my games on that site.
