I figured I would give this question ago, since every few years I check to see if there are any answers to this question just via a quick google and I've yet to find anything really.
I have a decades worth of old gamebuilds from my college days and years of jam projects following that, that were all released as web builds that I have on my PC just sitting in old backup folders. Who knows where those old project files are, or if they even exist anymore in the shuffle between houses and life in general.
Does anyone know of any way to rescue these games? I know if you go through several hurdles - downloading old versions of Unity webbrowser for an ancient version of firefox, you can play them. But is there anyway to rescue them for modern play / release? Are there emulation options that I could bundle with the Unity3D files that might allow people to play them?
Worst case, can I unpack the Unity3D files somehow and import them into a modern Unity version? What options do we have for these old webbuilds outside of rebuilding and thus not really archiving the older game. Most of the games are admittedly trash, but it feels weird to lose years of development work because theyre no longer accessible.
