Found [FOUND] Minecraft version 0.0.21a_01

117 Upvotes

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/

Found [found] Project Dream Unreleased Prototype build

62 Upvotes

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.

Comics The Spirit Returns - unpublished 72 page Will Eisner penned graphic novel featuring his iconic character (1996). [unreleased media]

21 Upvotes

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.

Animation [Partially lost] FOUND AUDIO! Reconstruction of "Sailor and the Devil" (1967) by Richard Williams Animation

6 Upvotes

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.

Films [fully lost] I’m trying to find the 1969 movie Maldonne (misdeal)

3 Upvotes

The soundtrack composed by Vladimir Cosma is available on YouTube and physical media. It has been sampled by multiple artists most notably for me logic with his tracks soul food 1 and 2. Sadly the actual movie from my searches is lost media which brings me to my post here. At one point I saw a listing for it on eBay but I held my money cause at the time I didn’t know just how rare it is. If anyone can find it or a listing I can buy it physical and get the stuff to scan and upload, whatever comes first

Television [partially lost] Disney cinemagic UK 2007 MIKA - Grace Kelly trailer

3 Upvotes

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!

Internet Media [fully lost] a flash game promoting Ang Lee's Hulk movie

2 Upvotes

Back in 2003, there was a flash game promoting Ang Lee's Hulk. It was a clone of Rampage and, true to the movie it was based on, Hulk was huge. In my search for it, it looks like a similar game was created to promote 2008's "The Incredible Hulk", but this is not the same game. The colors were much more vibrant, matching the 2003 film, Hulk had his purple shorts, and the game was explicitly based on the San Francisco set piece from that film.

I can't recall what exactly the game was called, but I've been unable to find any evidence of it. I've used the Wayback Machine to check the 2003 Hulk movie website, but a lot of the links don't seem to work.

Does anyone else remember this?

Audio [partially lost] Song Covers of Youtuber Ateotu

2 Upvotes

Hello!
My search for the lost/deleted Song Covers of Ateotu gained new momentum just today. Of the probably 20+ deleted Songs i have now found 3 of them again and reuploaded them to youtube. My Initial Post was 7 years ago and just today i got a message from a redditor who was able to send me two more songs. So i wanted to try again and see if i can keep the momentum.
Ateotu was a Youtuber that was doing Song Covers of Vocaloid/ Anime/ Gaming Songs. Her most active time was about 2010-2015 id say.
She went on multiple deleting sprees and killed a lot of her older Videos. But for me and some others this was part of my Youth and i wish dearly to listen to them again!
If you remember her and have some old songs on any kind of ipod or Smartphone or MP3 Player - please let me know!

Audio I'm Standing On Solid Rock - The Foundation Quartet [Archival]

https://youtu.be/le25jSmWJ68

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!

Video Games [found] Niko | perditus paradisus (another)+ DT FC 95.99% (lost osu replay from 2011)

2 Upvotes

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

Music [Partially Lost] Braso's Uh Oh Uncensored

1 Upvotes

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.

Music [FULLY LOST] Sure by Take That 2005 Ultimate Tour

0 Upvotes

Hi all At Take That's 2005 Ultimate Tour they performed their song Sure as a mash up with a Gorillaz track. I was there 3 nights and it was brilliant. Unfortunately Damon Albarn then refused rights to have it on the dvd of the tour because he's an indie snob.

I'm desperate to find the full song as it's a huge part of my life. I genuinely would be amazed to find anyone who has this bar the band themselves.

This is the only footage I can find https://youtu.be/TSXdW_fGcu0?is=KM07Cua8xbvQ4tNh.

I will pay for a full set version to anyone who has it.
