If you were watching content creators playing indie game between 2016 and 2018, you might have seen a game called "Jalopy". A weird looking game, that first take place in Berlin (Germany) in 1990 (see <i>[https://jalopy.fandom.com/wiki/Jalopy_Wikia Jalopy Wikia]</i>).<br>

The problem is, that this Dropbox link doesn't work anymore.<br>
Though, people were able to download it, so it may still be on an old hard drive, / even on a non-deleted part of a formatted hard drive (because when you format a disk, most of the time, it only destruct the map to the elements in the hard drive), and the Dropbox file can still be existing, and it's just a bug from Dropbox side, that's why I think that there are still hopes. <br><br>


Also, there were even more information on Minskworks Tumbler, but it got set in private, because of the community of an (actual good) equivalent to Jalopy ([https://store.steampowered.com/app/516750/My_Summer_Car/ My Summer Car]), whose community started to pollute Jalopy's Tumbler (because Jalopy is similar to My Summer Car). Though, this Tumbler is not a lost media, since it's just in private mode, and most of the information are available in [https://minskworks.net/ Minskworks' official website].
