How to Load The Trail of Captain John Smith
This is a flash-based game that is no longer hosted on National Geographic Kids. You can still access it though through the archived version on the Wayback Machine. Because it is flash-based, you will need to have a flash emulator on your browser, such as Ruffle, to make it work.
- Download and install a Flash emulator designed for your browser. Ruffle is a popular one. It has versions for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.
- Go to the Wayback Machine version of the game.
- If it does not work try to reload the page.
We have tested it on Chrome, Edge and Safari browser with the Ruffle emulator and it works on all of them.
