Does anyone know where to play abandoned Neopets games?

[Ganonthegreat]

Hello, I was wondering if anybody here could help me out. I'm part of a team called "Flashpoint", our goal is to archive as many webgames and Flash animations as we possibly can. In particular, my goal has been to trace as much Neopets content as possible.

The archive of mainline Neopets content is nearing completion, and I've uncovered several "long lost" games including the following:

• Chiazilla vs. Mechazilla
• NeoPuzzle
• NeoWardrobe
• Colouring Game
• The Haunted Shootery
• Battlefield Neopia (AKA: Alien Invasion)
• Robot Challenge
• Toucan Sam Challenge
• Mummy Maze
• Yooyuball (Original Version)
• Uber Faerie Caves
• Space Faerie
• Techo Safari
• Switch-A-Roo

As you can see, it's a pretty robust collection. Despite this there are a few games that I am still trying to track down. If anyone knows where to access any of the following, I'd love to see it.

• Grinch Says (May be named "Techo Says: Grinch Edition)
• Bullseye
• Super Bullseye
• Pumpkin Patch
• Maraqua Subs (May be named "Sub Game" or "Neo Nautical Adventure")
• Solo Says
• PokeMatch
• Mia's Makeover

@(you need an account to see links), I was wondering if you'd ever come here; my husband had mentioned your reddit thread a little while ago. I'm no help for this, but hopefully someone around clraik will be able to assist.

Thanks, yeah I've been thinking about posting here for a while but I wanted to thoroughly sweep the internet first. There's a very strong chance the games are still out there somewhere I can't find because "Chiazilla vs. Mechazilla" was only actually found very recently on a live website.

I have a collection of over 900 active, beta and discontinued Neopets Flash games that I've been holding on to for clraik's upcoming stream. I'd be happy to pass those along once we've had a chance to show them to our community!

That would be incredible if you could, do you know if any of the missing games I mentioned are included?

Likewise, if any of my found games are missing in your archive, I'm happy to share.

It doesn't look like I have any of the ones you're missing, but here's what I have:

The IDs that I'm missing were either games that were completely removed from the database, or games that didn't involve Flash files. Some of the duplicate names are beta versions of the games that were uploaded for testing purposes. There are also several Flash files which attempt to load resource files which may or may not be available anymore.

I'm not expecting you to reveal your secrets but just... how does anyone get a collection like that? And when did you start fetching them?
I sincerely though most of those games were just long lost.

A while ago Neopets had a glitch that made their site open directory. This meant if you went to images.neopets.com/games/ you could see every file in that folder.

I know that's how my archive of sponsor games was passed down to me, I obviously can't speak for Bat.

I can't get into specifics, but I essentially built a program that crawled every single game's Flash page. If that program encountered a functioning Flash game, it would reach out and grab the corresponding files and dependencies. I've been casually collecting Flash assets from Neopets for years! There's still a lot more out there!

To the user who has all those flash games: Out of curiosity, do you still have those files?

In particular number 798 and 841? If so I would enjoy playing those two.
