Hi all! Ive been searching for this since I was a child, there was this old collectable card game called Doctor Who Monster Invasion, that went on throughout the Matt Smith era. What I found really interesting about this card game was the way the cards interacted with the website, there were codes on the cards that could be used to interact with the games, and unlock power ups and so forth. There was a TARDIS, collection page where you could check off the cards you own to keep track of your collection. Furthermore, there were markers on the back of some cards, that when you held it up to the webcam a 3d model of the character will appear on top of the card.
There were 6 flash games (Maze of the Dead, Dalek Supremacy, Keys of Time, Vortex Run, Escape the Silence and Ultimate Match Up), only two are currently playable on the wayback machine (Escape the Silence and Ultimate Match Up). The rest are presumably lost and no where to be found. Trying to load into them on the wayback machine displays the preloading screen and nothing else. I would really like to find all these games along with a complete build of the TARDIS page, as it would update with subsequent set releases. I find it really weird how these pieces of doctor who history are so poorly archived, there's not even any video or screenshots of the TARDIS page with all the cards in. I'm not sure how these things work, and if they even could've been archived, although the fact one of them is playable gives me hope. The archived files do contain all of the listed games and the Tardis, although for whatever reasons do not work. There are barely any gameplay videos on the games, and no footage of the updates made to the TARDIS menu with new set releases. Hopefully someone better with technology than me can take a look in the files and find out why the rest of the games don't work.
This video, is a demo of the Tardis page by a developer before the website came out, however it is not completed and doesn't display all 3D animations on it.

The website is visitable on the wayback machine by searching this URL and going back anywhere between 2011-2013. The whole website is well archived besides the actual contents.

Any information would be helpful, even if you were to tell me that no archive of them exists. Thank you.
