(yay first post)
Hello, I'm apart of a large Flash game preservation project called Flashpoint (http://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/) that aims to archive as many Flash games as possible (plus more) before 2020. So far the collection is at over 6,500 games and its Discord server has nearly 2,000 members. But this isn't what the post is about.
Since I joined the Flashpoint community exactly one month ago (coincidence? I think not!), I've taken interest in archiving old SpongeBob Flash games, many of which are a big part of my childhood. Back in 2017, Nickelodeon revamped their site, breaking the game pages for every single Flash game on the site. Fast forward to 2018, and now the site is misleading users into thinking that those games aren't available anymore, when in reality, [almost] every single Flash game is still fully intact! Therefore, I'm going on a journey through the Wayback Machine and nick.com/games/data/spongebob/ to piece together these once-playable Flash games for future generations to enjoy.
At the time of writing, I've archived a total of 61 Flash games, including all nine ancient Shockwave games. Additionally, I've pieced together a checklist of hopefully every SpongeBob Flash game ever made (which totals up to around 200), along with a Batch script to automate retrieving game data from 10th Anniversary Flash games developed by This is Pop. Each Flash game is structured for submission to Flashpoint (which requires a specific file setup), so if you want to find the actual game data, look inside /[Game]/content/localflash. While some games are playable as standalone SWF files, others require browsers and web servers, so without Flashpoint itself(which simulates a web server to get games to work), playing those games might be a hard task.
And last but not least: The link!

I hope to archive all SpongeBob Flash games before it's too late. But until then, enjoy what I already have!
