Hello! First time poster, short time lurker...

Using the latest Firefox for Windows, I just played Tilt-a-Pea and Fill-a-Train through Archive.org at the links below:

web.archive.org/web/20140529224337/http://veggietales.com/games/tiltapea/preload.swf

web.archive.org/web/20140820204854/http://veggietales.com/games/fillatrain/fillatrain.swf

These links may not work in Chrome because they require Flash, although they may work in Internet Explorer with the Flash plug-in from www.adobe.com.

They should work on operating systems other than Windows as well.

Has anyone here worked with preserving Flash games? A quick Google search brought up BlueMaxima's Flashpoint, bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/.

It's amazing how quickly things slip through our fingers.

My flash game archiving experience goes as far as games that can be run in the standalone debugger with just a single .swf file and games that are split across multiple .swf files. I am looking into Tilt-A-Pea right now. However, downloading all of the .swf files from that domain only got the game partially working. Thankfully, the Internet Archive appears to have archived several .jpg, .mp3, and .xml files under the same domain. I suspect the flash files access these external files to make the game work. I am going to see if I can grab those as well.

Tilt A Pea.zip (922.47 KB)

Good news! I was right about grabbing all the external files. We now have a full version of Tilt-A-Pea that can be played offline. Just uzip it, grab the free "flash player projector content debugger" from adobes website, and use the debugger to run "preload.swf". It will automatically swap files as needed.
