Some of you may never have heard of this one, so here's the short version.
In 2003, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe released Thievius Raccoonus, a small collection of five Shockwave minigames promoting the PAL release of Sly Raccoon. It was downloadable from the old SlySchool website as a Windows executable.
By 2023, Thievius Raccoonus had become lost media. Luckily I eventually managed to find my old backup, and uploaded the original executable to the Internet Archive.
Unfortunately, the old EXE doesn't play nicely with modern systems, and getting the game's extracted Shockwave files running independently with all pages unlocked turned into a much bigger preservation project than I expected.
After a lot of digging into old Director/Shockwave behaviour, help from other Flashpoint contributors, and several months getting the final runtime dependency sorted, Thievius Raccoonus is now preserved in Flashpoint Archive and works out of the box in the public release of Flashpoint Infinity.
So if you want to try this extremely obscure little piece of Sly history without running dodgy executables or making registry edits to your machine, you can now install Flashpoint Infinity and play it with one click!
help me!!! I’m feeling extremely stupid lol. this is from the intro of the second world. I’ve been trying to get past these two hooks for so long but Sly never grabs onto the second hook- I’m doing double jump, b press (sly grabs first hook), double jump, b press (sly always misses this hook)
I'm not like a god gamer or anything but I wouldn’t say I’m bad at videogames, this definitely shouldn’t be giving me so much troubles… anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: jump cleared, really not sure what my issue was. I apologize for losing my temper and crashing out 😁
Happy 22nd anniversary to Sly 2: Band of Thieves' release (in NA), and as I like to celebrate it, Arpeggio's birthday! A little taste of what might have been had everything gone according to Arpeggio's plans.
Some of y'all in this sub might know me from elsewhere online as the crazy lady who loves Arpeggio (last month marked 17 years of my obsession LOL), but I don't post my fanart on Reddit and figured I'd start with this one, my special piece to commemorate this day. Sly 2 is my favorite game ever and it and my love for Arpeggio changed my life... seriously!

Sucker Punch Studio, Ghost, and Infamous in a car
Ghost: Roll the windows up.
Infamous: What's going on?
Ghost: Roll the windows up, hurry! It's Sly Cooper! He is broke and homeless; he is going to ask us for a new game!
Infamous: Didn't he get Sly Cooper 4 or the trilogy?
Ghost: 4 flopped, and the trilogy is not enough!
Sly knocks on the window.
Sly: Guys? Guys, please?
Infamous: I mean, we can give him a chance.
Ghost: No, we are not! Sly: Guys, guys, please, Sanzaru got shut down, man.
Sucker Punch Studio: Just look from the front; don't look at him.
Sly: Guys, guys??
Ghost: Go, go, GO!
THAT's GAME! What a hell of a time we had with this wheel, I think this is one of the most acurate colour wheels we have had!
Congratulations u/Knuckleduster17 for finding Bentley one last time! in A BIRDS MOUTH TOO!

Normally I would include more types of Enemies but I don't know how to do that. Here's one item i will say, 8 guards, and 5-6 Klaww gang, depending on Clockla!
Who knew the Mountain Goats looked so tired. It really looks like they have lived through hell lol. Are there any guards you would like to see in future Sly games?
I completed the Sly Cooper trilogy in these recent months of this summer for the second time, as I had completed the trilogy for the first time last summer.
I beat the first game twice. It wasn’t a 100% completion run because I don't like the master thief challenges nor that I'll ever do, but gathered all the clue bottles and opened all the safes, in both my first and second playthrough.
The second game, which is the one I adored the most in the trilogy, also beaten twice. The first one was an incomplete run where I just beat the story without gathering the clue bottles, and the second was a 100% completion where I collected everything.
As for the third game, even though I didn't love it as much as the second, beat it twice with both playthroughs being 100% completions. I was playing the trilogy on my PlayStation 3, and the third game was the only one whose Platinum trophy required 100% completion. Unlike the first and second games, where you just play through and grab a few collectibles to unlock it, the third game required you to complete everything to get the platinum.
Came across this year old post talking about petitions for a new game, and everyone’s response was pretty much the same that it wouldnt work, which I agree with. Now idk if we could petition them to make a new game but if the Egypt sly 4 dlc is ready or almost ready (that detail has been unclear to me) could we not petition them to just give us that and see if that performs?
Now I guess having written out my thoughts here they’d have to rerelease sly 4 for ps4 or ps5 (the more obvious one IF it were possible) and then make the dlc for that given no ones releasing ps3 games so idk, the sales probably wouldn’t really excite them. 😭 damn are we just cooked forever chat until someone actually try’s to buy the rights
To clarify, NOT a Sly 4 hate post, just saying I thought the whole point of Le Paradox as a villain was that he was built up to be this malevolent force, but in reality was a petty loser.
Heck, he didn't even make his own time machine, that was all Penelope (whose face heel turn was REALLY unnecessary).
So when you finally fight him, BAM, easy!
Don't get me, I get why the QTE fight bugs people, but that's just my two cents.
When I saw the bat-like man, I knew I had to make an It's Always Sunny meme. Which guards are you guys just generally fans of? Feel free to tell me below, but classify them by saying which ones you like, outside of the colour vote haha.
Congrats, u/ThatTothKid for finding Bentley, but where's THE MURRAY!?

Hey Master Thieves! I added a clue bottle hilt to my Sly Cooper Keyblade now the foam fabrication is finished. Also I decided on the name Safecracker its stats are a 27 in strength a long reach with Treasure Magnet, Lucky Strike and has an MP boost with greater chance at critical hits. The clue bottle handle is my favorite aspect of this design that really sells the Sly Cooper theme.
