Acceleracers was a Hot Wheels-branded animated movie series that aired on Toonami in the mid-2000's, sort of as a sequel series to the Hot Wheels World Race/Highway 35 movie if anyone remembers that. Along with the release of the movies was a top-down, isometric racer where you could race with others online. I had recalled a vague memory of a sort of flash game involving Acceleracers, and when I went to google what I was trying to remember, I came across it: Acceleracers: Realm Champion. Unfortunately, I came to discover that it was unplayable, and a good deal of the content from it lost. The wiki article for it summarizes it better than I could have:
Codes
Music
---------------
I thought it was intriguing (if also a bit sad a part of my childhood was gone), and I came to see there were no discussions about it either here OR on the lost media subreddit, so I figured I'd throw it out here in the hopes that it could get more attention.
There are also files that could be retrieved from it on the wiki article too.
Acceleracers: Realm Champion was an online multiplayer Flash game released in early 2005 to coincide with the release of the Acceleracers movie series. It is unable to be played in its current form, due to the servers being shut down after Acceleracers was cancelled.
The only files saved so far by the Accelepedia team that could be ripped are the menus and loading screen.
Many other files exist and are saved, including a DCR file, being a unsupported file format.
GAMEPLAY:
The game revolves around driving in the Racing Realms featured in the movies, competing against other players. You could select your team and unlock cars through Challenge mode. After joining for the first time, you would be given an Accelecharger for free.
