    Question Does anyone know where to play abandoned Neopets games?

    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.

    Yeah I think most of the games left never had the ID format, they were in their own folder, like /games/bullseye/bullseye.swf as an example.

    Well if you want any of my games let me know. I also found a game called "The Hungry Skeith", which is a completely different game to "Hungry Skeith", and was an unreleased game from Year 1.

    Alternatively, if you download Flashpoint you can play them that way too.

    I can't help but but I want to seriously thank you for what you do.

    My heart aches for how the internet used to be, and people like you who work so hard to preserve it deserves recognition.

    I might be leading you to a dead end, but I would try and attempt to contact kyo (he's an admin) from a website named comicfury. He did some insane work when it came to crawling/mining neopets data and searching through their code. Chances are slim, but I've been apart of the neopets cheating community for many years and he's the only person that I can think of that would have access to something like that. If not, he might be able to point you to someone who might be able to lead you in the right direction.

    Good luck on your search. Thanks again for preserving such a huge part of history.

    Thanks for the tip, I'd reached out, I'll see where that gets me. If he has anything, I'll let you know

    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.
