A restoration of Bones' Punky Pong flash game from 2009. Based on the archived version at https://web.archive.org/web/20100113173616if_/http://www.fox.com/bones/features/game/, which doesn't work.
As mentioned in The Boney Island Whitefish in: Being Joel David Moore, a Patreon bonus podcast for Trashfuture and Boonta Vista patrons.
I'm sad to say it's not very good; I wasted a lot of time on this. You'll need a browser with Flash enabled to run it. Those are becoming more and more rare!

Seeing that the Flash movie was attempting to fetch an xml/config.xml file unsuccessfully, I first attempted adding an XML file there, to no avail.
I then used the FFDec / JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler (pick a name!) to reverse-engineer what it was after.
Thankfully, the code used the standard Flash XML API and it was pretty easy to find references to that in the decompiled code which showed that it needed an XML file with a root entity (of any name) which contained an ads entity with at least url, showOnLoad and duration properties, as well as a valid XML file at the supplied ads URL. I turned them off, which isn't very preservationist of me, but oh well.
Then, with it working, I set about archiving the surrounding web page, updating a bunch of URLs and pruning extraneous resources. This bit was probably more effort than I should've put in, but I wanted as much of the 2009 experience to be present. The original ads didn't get archived so I replaced them with something which seems period-appropriate.
And that's that!
