Spore 2D (partially found promotional Flash game based on "Spore" life simulation real-time strategy game; 2009)
Spore 2D was a flash game based off the 2008 simulation video game, Spore. It was created as attempt to promote the Wii release of the game, Spore Hero. In the "training" section of the game, players could "train" their creature by forcing it to deflect objects shot from totem poles. The more the creature leveled up, the more parts the player would unlock. Players could also drag user-created creatures from the Sporepedia, to be rendered in 2D form.
Availability
The game became lost some time in 2012. All that exists of the game is a couple of gameplay videos, as well as the SWF file, which can be found on the Internet Archive.[1] However, the SWF file is missing a critical XML file[2] rendering the game useless, as it's stuck on the loading screen.[3]
Recovery Attempt
Since Spore 2D is a flash game, theoretically, it should be recovered by opening the .SWF in a Flash Player. Unfortunately, the game is still missing other files, such as the XML stated above.
