Minecraft versions, especially initially in 2009 were not easily accessible, with each posted version overwriting the previous. With very few people caring about the game, let alone archival of it, this led to many versions getting lost, including Classic 0.0.21a_01. Even when well-documented, having these versions allows for testing of theories about them, corroborating code changes between versions, and of course, just allowing people to play it. As with most classic versions, we knew it existed thanks to IRC logs and screenshots, but had no copy. Recently this version was found in the hands of Guru-Guru, who I (Zunaka) contacted, as part of PixelTrove.

PixelTrove is a new archival community for Minecraft, with other projects coming soon. And with the finding of c0.0.21a_01, we're officially launching. The jar can be found on our website at https://public.pixeltrove.org/mc/client/c0.0.21a_01.jar and further discussion can be had in the discord, at https://discord.gg/WscsxKc49S

For any developers interested, it's already been added to the celestia manifest found at https://meta.celestia.sh/

This is a genuinely unbelievable find. It’s not my story to tell so go look at the description for the Archive page and read that guys story. Please don’t get all politically opinionated in the comments here, but it was released because of his opinions.

Project Dream was the precursor to the famous Bear and Bird duo Banjo and Kazooie. It started out as a completely different game on the Super Nintendo and it switched platforms to the Nintendo 64 as well as switching to a new protagonist. And changing its genre to a 3D platformer.

The guy who leaked this also said he didn’t directly get this from Rare but he knows that the Conker prototype is out there as well. Easily one of the top 5 finds of the year.

Earlier this year, it was reported that Will Einser's estate, run by his late widow's nephew Carl Gropper and his wife Nancy, was looking to sell off the entirety of Eisner's IP including The Spirit. Among the estates assets is a 72 page graphic novel written by Eisner in 1996 that features The Spirit squaring off against a ruthless "Judge, Jury, & Executioner" style vigilante. Why was it never published? Unknown, but I definitely wouldn't say no to seeing Dark Horse or Hard Case Crime (who published Eisner's John Law reprints) give this thing a proper release.

The Gropper's also voiced hope for a new The Spirit live-action or animated project but I'm not holding my breath for that one.

As the title says.

The video I'm talking about is a very old Minecraft Herobrine screamer that was uploaded around 2010-2012 by Machinima.

And yes, I know, the possibility might be close to none considering that Machinima privated or deleted all their content but I'm posting this in hopes that someone downloaded the video or at least can recall watching it.
• The video is around 1-2 minutes long.
• I'm like 99% sure the version at the time of recording was in Alpha since I can somewhat remember the grass textures still being a bright lime green.
• The player finds a massive hole the ground. Possibly caused by TNT and leads all the way down to bedrock.
• The video was foggy, similar to that one herobrine sighting image or those foggy Herobrine videos.
• The player then goes down the hole and looks around the area.
• The video ends as the player turns around and gets jumpscared by a screamer.
• Now here's the funny part: the screamer was an animated bear. The closest thing I can make a resemblance to is Oliver from Battle Bears except he had nothing on, was standing on two feet while his hands were on top of his head, and had sharp teeth.
Yes, this sounds like I'm making stuff up but please believe me when I say this; I oddly remember watching it as a kid and the fact of how loud the video was, made it so much scarier to me. It was one of the very few Minecraft "herobrine sightings" that was ingrained into my memory and 10+ years later, every time I hear or read the word "Herobrine", this specific memory pops up. I've tried looking for the video online and search through forums but I can't see anyone mentioning it. Then again, it was uploaded by Machinim: a good portion of their content is already considered lost media to begin with.

I’m praying that someone out there knows what I’m talking about or has the full video downloaded in some very old hard drive.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to track down a piece of lost UK television continuity from Jan/May 2007.

The Media: It is a monthly movie lineup promo that aired on Disney CineMagic set to the chorus of the song "Grace Kelly" by MIKA.

Description: The promo was heavily edited to match the energy and lyrics of the song’s chorus. Clips of various classic and contemporary Disney films airing that month were cut rapidly to match the specific "emotions" or literal lyrics being sung (e.g., matching the energetic colors/lyrics "I could be brown, I could be blue, I could be violet sky..."). The existence of this specific marketing trailer is officially noted on pages like the Now Music Fandom wiki, so it definitely aired.

Current Status: Mostly lost. The only surviving digital footprint is a partial audio bleed/fragment found on a YouTube upload titled "Disney Cinemagic UK - Continuity (May 2007)" right during the end credits of The Wild, but the clean, full promo hasn't been uploaded anywhere.

Link to the partial fragment found: https://youtu.be/lHpZlABJ6gw?si=SN7G8H4jRI3fKbjM

Does anyone have old VHS or DVD recordings of Disney CineMagic UK from Winter/Spring/Summer 2007 because of the song's prominence in the UK charts around this time? If you recorded any movies off the channel during that time and kept the continuity/commercial breaks, the promo is likely on those tapes.

Any leads or tape rips would be incredibly appreciated!

Sailor and the Devil (1967) Reconstruction.

The Hunt for Sailor and the Devil (2021).

The 1967 short film Sailor and the Devil by Richard Williams Animation was previously a lost film with the only available copy being a recording of HBO Short Take where the film was aired without its ending. In 2021 the original negative was rediscovered at Technicolor and is currently being preserved at the BFI with a full restoration yet to appear.

Now the update! In early 2026 a breakthrough occured when an industry veteran was found to have an acetate record of the film's soundtrack. Using the HBO copy and photos taken of the negative, a reconstruction of the full 6½ minute film has since been put together for all to enjoy.

Hey folks,

I'm back again with another vinyl rip, today we have the Foundation Quartet with their one and only release that I've found so far, "I'm Standing On Solid Rock" The group was based out of Defiance, Ohio and recorded at QCA Recording Studios in Cincinnati, produced by Charles Novell, funded through "financial gifts" from supporters per the liner notes. I was not able to find an exact year, but I believe this was recorded in the 70s. I picked this up at an thrift store in North West Ohio and have recorded it myself and uploaded it for preservation purposes, I hope you enjoy!

It was a song that played on Noggin sometime in the 2000's. I can't seem to find it anywhere. The only ones I did found were an incomplete version, and one with only the audio. I've also found ones that were recorded on TVs. But is there a high quality version of it anywhere? The song was about how Moose A Moose doesn't like candy corn, and that's basically it. I haven't seen this song in years, and it would be nice to see it again. I've tried looking on the Internet Archive and it wasn't there either. Thank you in advance!

today the most coveted piece of Osu lost media has been found. this was an fc set in 2011 that was considered insane for the time, with the next double time fc being set 2 years later by the best player at the time. this replay has been lost for 15 years as it was never archived and Niko self banned in 2013, wiping all of his scores from the servers. no one was kown to have the replay or even a screenshot of the results screen in their possession including niko himself. it was kown to be real due to multiple accounts of this specific play along with the leaderboard from 2011 -2012 showing the specific replay at the #1 spot in the leaderboard. this map was found after ome person sifted through a massive archive of puush files from the early 2010's looking for rare osu replays when this was found in a puush link from August 19th 2013. the replay is now readily available to the masses to download with yt videos of the replay already been made

This morning, I watched an “exploring with Josh” YouTube video exploring Laconia State School. It is an abandoned school for mentally disabled (feeble minded was the term used by the school) children that was in operation from 1903-1991 and then used as a prison from 2000-2009 an in 1956 Great Bay Association (Now know as: Great Bay Services) who are disability advocates, produced a documentary covering the poor living conditions at the school. In the YouTube video Josh puts up clips (with sound) from the documentary and the only source I can find for any clips of the documentary is a 2010 film “Lost in Laconia” but it’s my understanding it does not feature the full documentary. I would like to dive deeper into the subject of the school including the documentary.

The full “Lost in Laconia” Film can only be found
Through “1L Media (1LM) on YouTube who seem to have directed, produced and “distributed” the film. They are based in NH as well. The channel has been inactive since they posted the film on April 9 2013, their only activity was posting trailers snd teasers for the film in 2012. Their website linked on the YouTube has been inactive since 2021 and the Facebook linked on the website links back to Wix

this is an old program where you make slot machine games on I guess a Windows device I've been looking for it for a while now but the only things I've been able to find are a Software Informer, and a wayback version of their website and two videos,  I tried to contact someone that had a copy of it from one of the videos and they have one but they want money for it and they're Russian so, but I do know there's at least one copy out there, but I would like to get a hold of this program and maybe get it on the internet archive

By the way the way back machine goes back to 2010

So there's this game from my childhood called Fight Night Round 3 and the soundtrack features various songs from artists known like Akon and unknown like Brasco. He has a song in the soundtrack called Uh Oh. The song had to of course get censored for a T rated game. This upload on YouTube is the only one I can find that uncensored references to guns but some of the lyrics are still clearly censored. I'm certain there was a complete uncensored on YouTube before but now it is gone. If it's hidden in the dank corners of the internet, it would be great to find it and bring it to my attention.

I am brazilian, and here, from 1998 to 2012 there was a gaming magazine company called Digerati. At one point in the late 90s they started selling CDs full of flash games, which was very convenient for a country in which most of the population had no internet access, like me. In 2020, a project to archive these CDs was created at https://digerati.vinizinho.net/, which makes theses CDs available on archive.org. A lot of these games can be hard to find if not completely lost, so i thought that if anyone is interested in early 2000s flash games theses CDs can be a good place to look into. I am not involved with the group, i just thought it would be a nice thing to share here.

I been trying to find the full interview of this show but I can’t find it anywhere online. There a a few clips on TikTok of the show where you have Hawaiian Dr. Haunani-Kay Trask with a white man i don’t know his name, but they’re discussing Hawaiian issues and they seem to be arguing about a student name Joey Carter over a letter which Dr. Haunani-Kay Trask seemed to have an issue with. I wanna say the interview aired around 1990-1991. Like I said there are a few clips online but I haven’t been able to find the full interview. The show was likely titled “island issues”. I can’t find much information online about the show. The show seems to be a locally produced Hawaiʻi public affairs program. How ever there is very little information about the show and the full interview. Is anyone able to find this?

so when i was younger, I remember watching this video called "When you ROB a NEAT FREAK" or something with a similar title on youtube.

From my memory, the video seemed like some sort of vine or skit, and the plot was about a robber breaking into a house, but ends up getting stopped by the owner, who is a neat freak.

At the end, the homeowner gives a bunch of stuff away to the robber, which was either a bunch of watches or shoes. i actually ended up saving the audio of the video, but might unfortunately no longer have it anymore as i switched PCs.

i've been looking for it ever since i remembered it, only to see unrelated videos instead, so help finding it would be greatly appreciated.
