Have you tried to talk to the person on the NEOGAF forum ?

Not yet, was too busy going through various files people sent me in DMs. Need to make an account there first before I can contact anyone. Will try to get on that tomorrow.

But yeah, the point of this project is to only get things that are as clean as possible. That one isn't.

I just remembered that in my TR collection of physical media I have a German Premier Collection for TRL which claims to have Elixir Of Life as bonus content. So I loaded the disc but couldn't find it.

Then I translated the text on the manual and from what I gather it's not actually on the disc. You have to send an SMS to a specific number to get your download link. That service is long dead haha. I hoped the game would be on the disc, oh well.

I have this collectors edition too! I almost wanted to jokingly message them but I couldnt even send them an SMS

Though as a Gen Z I'd like to know, how did downloading these games work back in the day? Especially per SMS

It's been so long and I could be wrong. But I remember having these posters in public transport about various J2ME games that you can get if you send a specific SMS to a specific number.

Each SMS cost a specific amount of prepaid credits and I think they sent you either an MMS with a game or a download link? I think it was MMS with the game that your phone then installs, but I could be wrong.
