Modern browsers killed the technology that powered these promotional games without offering migration paths, which means the original URLs are dead. Community preservation became the only way forward. BZpower and other fan archive sites maintain downloadable versions for people with older systems or emulation tools, keeping the game playable as a historical artifact from an era when BIONICLEBIONICLE: Matoran AdventuresA 2002 GBA platformer where you play as one of six Matoran fighting Bohrok across Mata Nui's islands. was everywhere online.
This game shouldn't have survived, but it did. Back in 2009-2010, a franchise could distribute story content across film, comics, toys, novels, and browser games.
