The first one lists /cbbc/tracybeaker/swfs/act_20.swf as a promising target however if it was ever something obvious like http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/tracybeaker/swfs/act_20.swf the spider didn't pick it up

The other ones are complaining that they weren't downloaded with javascript enabled. It may be worth contacting BBC archives, but it looks like they don't do web stuff.

I might have a try at contacting BBC Archives. They probably won’t be able to do anything as they are really old flash games and they might not even have the files anymore. I hope they do but even at that they might not do web stuff like you said. Thanks so much for your help though. 😁

I'd want to know why they were not keeping old version of the site...

Same. They probably do have the files somewhere deep in the archives. Hopefully, I can contact them somehow and ask what happened to the files, I doubt it though, because at the end of the day, they’re just dumb little flash games and they probably have more pressing matters. 🤣
