+* Over 1000 Pages of Paper Documents needed to be scanned, deskewed, and turned into PDFs.
+* Over 200 audio tracks were rendered/mastered extremely carefully using original hardware such as the Yamaha EX-5 and original software like SoundForge 4.0.
+* The "End of Project" Tape was damaged by a data recovery company, and it took months of reverse-engineering to recover the data ourselves. ([[https://github.com/Kneesnap/onstream-data-recovery/blob/main/info/INTRO.MD More Info]])
+* Byte-Matched Source Code Repos for 7 different Frogger games/consoles, which have been updated to compile on Windows 10/11.

+* A mod fixing Frogger 2's compatibility issues on modern computers, aka the "Frogger 2 Enhanced PC Port".
+* Materials from other Blitz Games projects, including ''Chicken Run'', ''Glover'', and ''The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea''.
