Big Brother (lost PC game based on "Nineteen Eighty-Four" novel; 1998)
Big Brother was a video game developed for the PC by American company Media X some time in the late 1990s., The game's premise is based on George Orwell's 1948 novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, though the plot is "slightly different from that of 1984, with a corrupt regime that’s crumbling even more than in the book". Players are tasked with rescuing their fiancee from the Thought Police through 12 levels, each one apparently "5 hours" long, cut down from an original count of 60 levels.
Hortensius (partially found philosophical work by ancient Roman philosopher; 45 B.C.)
Hortensius was a "dialogue" (scripted conversation) written by Marcus Tullius Cicero, an Ancient Roman philosopher, named after Quintus Hortensius Hortalus, an associate and "friendly rival" of his. In this dialogue, Cicero, Hortensius, and Lucius Licinius Lucullus debate how to use one's free time in the best way., However, despite the dialogue being very popular with people around the time, it has not survived to the 21st century in its full form.
Star-ving (found online spinoff series of sitcom; 2009)
Star-ving was an internet series starring David Faustino produced for Sony's streaming service Crackle in 2009. The series followed a fictionalized washed-up version of Faustino after his stardom on Married with Children as he tries to regain notoriety., From the official series description: "With the money from Married… with Children gone, Faustino’s short stature, alcoholism, and sex-fueled Hollywood life have kicked him squarely in the cubes. Star-ving follows his second attempt at stardom. Pulling along his old buddy Corin Nemec ("Parker Lewis Can't Lose") Faustino dips into Coolio's stash, murders, binge drinks, and beats off - all to get back on top of the show biz heap."
Getting Together (partially found ABC musical sitcom; 1971-1972)
Getting Together is a musical sitcom that aired on ABC for 14 episodes between September 18th, 1971, and January 8th, 1972. It was a spin-off of The Partridge Family and was based on "A Knight in Shining Armor," the last episode of The Partridge Family's first season. It received a fair amount of promotion, including tie-in novels and comic books and an official magazine published by Tiger Beat, but it was crushed in the ratings by All in the Family, which aired in the same time slot.
The Good Dinosaur (lost original version of Pixar animated film; 2011-2013)
The Good Dinosaur is an animated movie produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures in November 2015., The movie is notorious for its troubled development, as it got several revisions halfway through production due to creative difficulties, which ultimately lead to the departure of its original director, Bob Peterson, resulting in several delays, as well the recasting of almost all the actors in the movie.
Boone (partially found drama TV series; 1983-1984)
Boone was a short-lived drama series that aired on NBC from September 26th, 1983, until August 11th, 1984. Created by Earl Hamner (who created the long-running hit TV series The Waltons), each episode was an hour-long. While Boone initially achieved success, it eventually found itself against other popular dramas and was canceled after thirteen episodes. No episodes have since emerged.
Notice board
Howdy, howdy, howdy, how’s everybody doing tonight? Lucy here, I hope everybody had a good time over the holidays and is enjoying the new year so far – not only a new year, but a new decade! To celebrate, let’s get things started early and wrap up the last finds of the 2010s:

- On a more somber note, the footage of Tiny Tim’s heart attack has been found. I won’t link it here, but if you want to see it, you know where to look.
And now before finishing up, let’s look at the first few finds of the decade so far:
- All three aired episodes of Megan Wants a Millionaire have been uploaded to Google Drive by LMW commenter Delbert lanier. Thank you for taking the time to share these!
- All 11 aired episodes of Sunday Pants have been uploaded to Vimeo by the series co-creator, Stuart Hill. Thank you!
- SpooferJahk has also found the full series of Star-ving, recovered from a once-dead torrent that suddenly came online. Thank you once again!
- And lastly, something from October that flew under the radar until now - all 26 episodes of Little Lulu and Her Little Friends have been uploaded to YouTube in one video, albeit dubbed in Arabic. Regardless, thanks to the uploader!
That does it for this time – thanks one last time to all those mentioned above, thanks to volunteer Ryanskip for keeping track of these finds as usual, and thanks to everybody who has contributed to the wiki over the years. Here’s to hoping the 2020s are even better!
