    What about using a Windows XP 2008 computer that hasn't been touched since 2010? Would I be able to turn it on and use Firefox/Shockwave as is or would it automatically update them?

    If they were working at that time, there's a slight chance they work now. If the PC didn't have old browser X + ShockWave version X it's still worth a try. Highly doubt it tho'

    I got a few of the shockwave games to work by downloading an old version of Safari and an old shockwave player (version 11.6 or below works, I believe).
    But like many have said, it works like less than half the time, and you may have to keep refreshing to get one to fully load ;w;
    And I also don't remember how I got rid of the little black box that sometimes appears in the top corner of the game screen, but I know there's a way xD

    Version 5.1.7 Hope you can get it to run! I've never tried Gourmet Club.

    @(you need an account to see links) There's a topic about this on the neoboards as well. Useful information includes what I've listed below but I can't verify whether or not it's all still accurate.

    PCs only. Known loading+sending browsers are Opera, IE 11 or Safari 5.1.7. An older version of chrome may work but I haven't seen confirmation that it works in 2016.
    Chrome stopped supporting Shockwave, last September... On PCs, Firefox will let you play the Shockwave games, but will not post your scores. It has been doing that for a while, and no known fix. To the best of my knowledge, Shockwave is 32-bit. So, if there is a way to run Safari in 32-bit mode, give that a try.

    I somehow got those games to work without changing anything to my macbook pro last summer. However, it worked only for a day or two and now it doesn't seem to be loading anymore. I was using Firefox.
