Quest Soft Player

The program is cross-platform, working on Windows, PocketBook, Android, Windows CE / Windows Mobile, Linux / Unix, MacOS, Sony PSP, BeOS / Haiku. The player is licensed under GPLv2, some utilities and libraries are LGPLv2.

The standard player is called QSP Classic and is available on multiple platforms. The main web-based player is qSpider that allows you to play games in a web browser. There is a flavor of QSP named AeroQSP Shell for making Flash games, but it's outdated.
