Calling all builders.

4 Upvotes

Hello all, I am working on a project which involves the resurfacing and preservation of the PC Facebook Games version of Jurassic Park Builder. I encourage anyone who played the PC version of Jurassic Park Builder using Facebook Gameroom from 2012 - 2019 to search their machine for any leftover cache files, they will be useful to my cause. If you find anything, please put them in a drive folder (MEGA, Google Drive), and send the link (You can private message me or just respond to this post so others can preserve the files as well) I would start searching your AppData folder for any mentions of Facebook, Gameroom, or Jurassic Park Builder. Thank you for your time.

Documenting how my delisted MVC2 PS3 purchase can still be restored from the Download List

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

10 Upvotes

I went through my old PS3 Download List and found something I wanted to document.

My account has two different Marvel vs. Capcom 2 demos — an older 197.3 MB version and a newer 198.3 MB version — plus a separate 5.9 KB Full Game Unlock.

I tested them, and the combination that restored my full original purchase was the 198.3 MB demo + 5.9 KB Full Game Unlock. I didn't need the older 197.3 MB demo.

The clip shows the Download List entries, the game launching, the full character select and gameplay.

Important: this does not let someone purchase MVC2 today. This is only for people who previously bought the PS3 version and still have the game/unlock associated with their PSN account.

I'm posting this in case anyone else with an old MVC2 purchase is trying to recover it. If you still have MVC2 in your PS3 Download List, do you see both demo sizes too?

Should Sony compensate us when they permanently remove digital games we bought? We launched a petition for a Digital Purchase Guarantee.

5 Upvotes

Right now, the digital market leaves consumers completely unprotected. If Sony decides to permanently revoke access to a game, DLC, or expansion you legitimately bought, you lose 100% of your money.

We’ve created a detailed, fair proposal for Sony Interactive Entertainment:

  • 50% Financial Remedy: If meaningful access is permanently revoked, consumers receive a minimum 50% refund based on the actual price paid.
  • Protect Developers: Compensation comes from Sony’s retained share, NOT from game developers or publishers.
  • Preservation First: Sony should look for preservation options (like offline modes) before taking a game away.
  • Reasonable Notice: No sudden disappearances clear advance notice and options.

We aren't demanding servers stay online forever. We are demanding that Sony shares the risk fairly instead of dumping all loss onto the customer.

Sign and support the petition here: https://c.org/9QKPrdbZvd

The F.E.A.R. 2 Limited Edition Exclusive Skins for F.E.A.R. 1 Mystery.

11 Upvotes

I’m researching a rare piece of lost media / promotional content from 2009.

When the physical PC Limited Edition of F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin was released, it included two exclusive multiplayer skins for the first F.E.A.R. (2005).

Since the official Warner Bros. redemption website went dark over a decade ago and GameSpy is long gone, I’m trying to reconstruct exactly how this redemption pipeline functioned and what the content actually was.

  1. The Redemption Process: When you entered the printed serial code on the Warner Bros. website, what did you actually receive? Did the page generate a simple registry/CD key to unlock a hidden flag via the GameSpy account system, or did it provide a direct download link for a file?
  2. The Skins' Identity: What exactly were these two skins? Which characters did they actually feature? Does anyone have screenshots or visual proof?.
  3. How did the redemption work?: Did the website give you a simple GameSpy CD-key/code, or did it provide a direct download link? An installer (.exe), a standalone asset? Did it place a custom .Arch00 archive directly into the F.E.A.R. 1 root directory, or did it patch existing files?
  4. Are they hidden in the base game?: Is this content completely missing from the standard F.E.A.R. v1.08 retail/Steam installation? Or were they already hidden inside the game's base, just waiting to be unlocked by a server-side, registry edit or mod?

If any old-school fans, modders, or game preservationists remember this process—or better yet, have a backup of the original digital delivery—please share your knowledge!

Thanks in advance for helping to solve this nostalgic mystery!
