I’ll set it straight for you guys. The CGI yoda was finished in Empire and Jedi - it looks horrendous. This was Lucasfilms doing. The releases were scrapped and info oppressed as the Disney sale had just initiated behind the scenes. People would have flipped out seeing what they did to poor yoda. That is why ep 4-6 will never see a release let alone a leak in this 3d special edition. This is real, not a troll.
Why would they do a CGI Yoda in the OT? The only reason they redid Yoda for TPM was because the puppet used in the original cut was widely panned. Everyone loves OT Yoda.
Not fully loading for me on mobile. I get the epilepsy warning, the background shows up, and I can open the menu and the link for volume control displays, but that’s about it.
Not really "lost." My dad, a Stones fan, has a DVD I burned for him, which I got from a private torrent tracker way back in high school (Cinemageddon, I think). It's been widely bootlegged for years.
...it's weird replying to a topic with a name like this...

For some reason, the game is still up by my standards. I’m from the UK, so it might be gone in America.
Still up here. There’s always the chance that it will remain up long past the promotion’s expiration if you still have the URL (notice that it starts with “pk,” which is often used for Pokémon), but I’d rather not sit idly by and take that chance. I’ll check the Flashpoint Discord when I get home to see if any progress was made, but they have threads for previous Happy Meal games this year with no progress, so don’t count on it.
What we could really use is some sort of media catcher software that works on an OS compatible with the game. Since I can’t play it on my computer and I have an iPhone (which also can’t run it properly for some reason), I can’t really help in that respect.
Edit: No, no updated on Flashpoint.

The whole series has been on MySpleen since 2013. That torrent is recorded from PAL TV so it's slightly fast and has all the quality issues any TV rip has, but as I recall (it's been a few years since I watched it) it's pretty good. They also have HD Amazon rips for all but two episodes, but they apparently have bad de-interlacing/upscaling issues.
The Flashpoint Archive Discord is also has a thread on this, though no progress has apparently been made.
I can't play this on my phone for some reason, either, and when I tried BlueStacks, a lot of the graphics don't load and the screen squishes the interface to make it basically unplayable.

Well that's dumb. It seems to have anti-piracy for some reason. Do they WANT their game to be lost? I don't know what we can do about this, unless I under-archived. At the very least, it's archiving the wrong thing.
Yeah, I probably should have mentioned that I already tried that. I also tried going to the site using my computer, loading the mobile version, then saving the complete web page, but only got a basic page with the backgrounds and such. My mobile view extension is probably really outdated, so that might be part of it, but I kind of doubt it.
It might not be “anti-piracy” per se, but that it only loads game assets as they’re needed or something like that. It also requires access to a camera to scan cards to access the full game, so it maynot be possible to do this at all on desktop anyway. Anyone have a rooted Android tablet they can give this a shot on?
And yes, they probably DO want this to become lost. It’s for a limited time promotion between two normally unaffiliated companies, and while they do often have cross promotions, the next time they have one they’ll want to do something else. Also note that TPCI has already let several of its browser games become lost (see the wiki article for Pokémon.com online games).

Photo of the Cookie Monster shirt. It's in black and white, probably because it was from the inside story of the newspaper, which back then were often not printed in color:
This was found a few years back. I actually used that upload to get it added to Behind the Voice Actors. The Spanish dub was found first, and I thought this particular video is the footage from the already-found Spanish version synced to a poorer-quality recording of the English audio, though I could be wrong. It is also missing the first few seconds if narration, as I recall.
Edit: I guess you mentioned most of this in your post and I didn’t read it.
I had my own thread on it back then, and as I mentioned there, I was actually in contact with the producer, Bruce Royer, who told me he planned to upload it himself, presumably in high quality, though he never did.
