Adding to the countless Nick.com games using obscure plug-ins, Virtools was a plugin used to make games and applications. A number of Nick and Nick Jr. games were based on the extension - Avatar Penguin Sledding - tipoarchive.000webhostapp.com/av_penguin.html
EDIT: As I now see that 3DVia has already deleted the Avatar game within mere months of me finding it, it's possible that Nick will delete the old games from their servers too. There needs to be set up a backup somewhere, for the sake of preservation and safety, but i'm not sure where I could host the games.
I used to love 3dvia! It was one of the few sites that didn't have a pesky "you must be over 13" box, so it's one of the earliest sites I would frequent. I created so many models there, a lot of which were total garbage... lol
There are far too many 3dvia Virtools/3D Life Player games to list. It'd be like trying to make a list of Unity games. There's thousands of them, whether or not you realize they're made in the engine. With that said, there seem to be a few favourites.
A couple of my backups can be found here: mega.nz/#F!Q4AnVZRa!bkeWzRrM8KQuOr66T0F8Ng And here: mega.nz/#F!VhhkSTLD!ykrHfI09tZ4gAaYRWkt0jA
You will need an NPAPI supported browser blah blah blah.
Also, I apologize these folders aren't quite up to my standard when it comes to organization and ease of use. I primarily made these backups for myself, if anyone has trouble getting them running, feel free to contact...
Oh yes, and considering 3dvia's site is down right now, here is the 3D Life Player installer. mega.nz/#!I9Aj3QaK!-LjoQM0BqaXZg6u8_zUtdHpvnhU_AKo55KFPuGaJ6BI

I figured out a way to run 3DVia games offline. You need to download both the page where the game can/could be played online and its VMO file. Then open the page's HTM or HTML file in a text editor and search for any references to the VMO file. Change those to the path you downloaded the file to.
