The drift 'n' burn games (Footage of One) are seemingly lost, deleted from the shockwave.com website, and I can't find one site that has a working copy. If anyone knows if there is a archive of this type of thing, please tell me.

I've found all the DCRs.

Edit: archive.org has broken the DNB 365 Link and thus I must find another way to get to it.

DNB 2: web.archive.org/web/20141016174605/http://www.shockwave.com/content/myracer/sis/myracer.dcr

DNB 2: web.archive.org/web/20180911205546/http://www.shockwave.com/content/driftnburn3/sis/dnb3.dcr

Zip of all games: archive.org/details/driftnburntrilogy (Lost now)

Hmm, no, the site itself is still up, I'd guess it's more for licensing reasons.

The trick is that the game content is usually located at shockwave.com/content/[insert name of game here but all lowercase with no spaces]/sis/[insert game's filename here].[insert file extension here]

If you know the previous URL of the game, the Wayback Machine can typically be used to find those details.

Pull the lever Donga! The lever!

I've no idea where the original URL would have been. I played the game originally on some downtrodden flash games site that's probably long gone.

web.archive.org/web/20160817122833/www.shockwave.com/gamelanding/driftnburn365.jsp you're most likely correct. Game was live as recently as august last year.

Guys, I may have found 365! shockwave.com/content/driftnburn365/sis/dnb.dcr It downloads, but it's a fairly small file (3.5 mb) but, it's called DNB.dcr (Driftnburn acronym) Now I just need to find a program to run it.

Edit; I have tried to get the program to function on IE, no go. Crashes every time.

Edit 2: Dcr games do work on IE 11. Not sure why the hell it's not working if so.

Might be a good idea to try and archive all of them. (driftnburn365 is included)
