Q: Flash player on PPC G4 Tiger 10.4.11  Can't update to latest because it's intel.  What do I do?

I have lost the ability to play games needing flash player on PPC G4 Tiger 10.4.11  Can't update to latest because update is for intel, my PPC is not.  What do I do?  I've tried loading the archived ones but can't really figure out what the last update for my situation is.  One day everything worked fine--the next day it didn't.  Someone hit a button that has complicated my enjoyment of Pogo Games.  Pogo is of no use.  The have no customer service.  Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Mac G4, Mac OS X (10.3.9)

    There are no more Adobe Flash updates for PowerPC Macs.

    There isn't much of anything left that is supported for PowerPC Macs any longer.

    PowerPC Macs are obsoleted technology for many years, now.

    Sorry.

    Maybe the site, itself, got updated for use with newer, updated Flash versions.

    They could have done this any time. Maybe they just decided recently to update the site.

    Are there any changes to the look of the site or any other indications that the site has been updated?

    The site may have, indeed, put up a warning about downloading the latest Adobe Flash Player.

    When a site does this, you're, basically, out of luck.

    That is the problem with online game sites that use Flash for these games.
