Spumco: Pizza Packing Moron - 2000-2001 PC Game [partially lost]

I’m not exactly a major fan of Ren And Stimpy or Spumco, but I saw this posted on twitter by a user known as “clampettfan2010” and I figured I’d share it here. Sometime between 2000 and 2001, Spumco released a PC Flash Game titled as “Pizza Packing Moron” according to this archived page (https://web.archive.org/web/20011214022816/http://www.spumco.com/ppm.html) you played as Jimmy The Idiot Boy dodging stuff being thrown at him from Slab And Ernie. It was basically a flash game in a exe file that you could purchase for only 2 cents. What’s weird is that other sources claimed the game was about delivering pizzas so I’m not fully sure if thats true or not. Funny enough, this topic was actually posted on the ren and stimpy subreddit nine months back, someone did get in touch with John K who said that he DID have a copy, but it was on a floppy disk and couldn’t be able to transfer it.

Someone in clampettfan2010s twitter post claimed that the game was free to play as just a SWF browser game on a website, but it’s currently unknown what website it was playable on. Someone also said that they MIGHT have a copy (in the post over at the RAS subreddit talking about this topic) of the game in a ZIP file and will try to transfer it, but they’ve gone cold turkey since.

The game is currently lost aside from two cutscene screenshots and the games html page, there is a google groups post talking about the game which I’ll paste in the comments but here’s the link to the post made at the Ren And Stimpy subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/renandstimpy/comments/1q7pg8q/lost\_spumco\_flash\_game/

Angry Kid GrannyBuster update [partially lost]

This is more of an update but I wanted to share it here. And yes I have spoken about this here before, just wanted to tell some new info. For those who want context, GrannyBuster was a flash game that existed on the Angry Kid website from 2003 up until 2008. I’ve gone from trying methods to get the main.swf working to contacting old devs and leads. I’ve been in contact with a reddit user who worked on the AK website in the 2000s, I talked to him about GrannyBuster and he claimed that he didn’t work on it but he did give some possible reasons onto why it’s lost, remember these may not be the actual reasons so take it with a grain of salt. He said that when the AK website updated in the late 2000s, the team that worked on the GrannyBuster game split from Aardman and took it with them, or that the reason why its lost is due to archivers not scraping any secondary dependable (main.swf basically). Right now I’m looking for the company or anything that has to do with this game, if anyone can help find new leads or anything, it would be a pleasure.

[partially lost] TeaTime Racers (2008 CBeebies Flash Game)

I used to watch the CBeebies eat us song animation back in the day, so it was a surprise to find out that it had a flash game, I discovered this in the comment section of the video and I went on the internet archive and skimmed the CBeebies website from 2008-10 and sure enough it exists. It's called TeaTime racers and it seemed to be a bit popular back in the day, from its archived page (https://web.archive.org/web/20090429073319/http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/grownups/familytime/games/teatime\_racers.shtml) You and another player had to choose what foods you wanted on your team, the winning team is determined by your food choice and not by how fast you pressed the keys. I'm not sure why the game is lost, but the only swf that is archived is skeleton.swf. I used JPEX to look for other swfs and I saw one called root.swf, most likely the game itself. The skeleton.swf seems to be used for the menu and loader. There is NO gameplay screenshots or footage despite the games past popularity, only the thumbnail and tidbits from the game that exist which are provided below. I am aware this has been talked about before but I wanted to get this known again, I've never played this but I'm curious about this game.
