I recently downloaded the .dcr files from the game. I opened them up in Adobe Director and used a couple of plugins to export the content inside those files. Here's some textures from the Kaleidoscope and "Reflected Panorama" scenes:
Hi Scores trees1.bmp
Gann boc_bacsrgr2.bmp
Gyroscope trees1.bmp (Can you see a pattern yet?)
Horizon Radar trees1.bmp
Aquarius boc_bacsrgr2.bmp
Music Is Math clockface.bmp (The texture for the clock hand was not worth ripping because it was way to small of a file. Only about like 8 pixels across.)
Time Apple bluegirl.jpg
Eagle In Your Mind highway.bmp headlight.bmp taillight.bmp
Oirectine boc_bacsrgr2.bmp
Kid For Today boc_bacsrgr2.bmp
Sixtyniner boc_bacsrgr2.bmp
Here's a high quality rip of the sounds (Downloadable): [media]https://soundcloud.com/user-173148214/sets/boards-of-canada-old-flash-game-music[/media]
There are some other textures in the game I didn't share here. If you want to see them tell me which and I'll rip them and post it here as a reply.
And now for some exciting news: Since Shockwave and other media player formats like Flash are a dead/dying format, especially since Flash will not be supported anymore as of December of 2020, a project to archive as many games as possible called Bluemaxima's Flashpoint has recently popped up (Last three years or so.). I submitted the game as a "curation" to be added to the archive, so when it's (hopefully) accepted for the next version you all will be able to play it without the need of a browser! More info here: https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/
Ive been trying to play this on and off for a few months, no matter what I try, what browser I use, updated all my shock wave flash et etc I can't for the life of me get this to work on Windows 10
I worked out how to do it a while back and I think I posted about somewhere on Twoism. Needed to use an older version of IE or something. Search and if you find it, post it here?
great news! i was looking for the .swf for ages. Where did you find the .dcr file?
.swf files are flash player files. .dcr files are shockwave. The game runs on shockwave so there's no flash player files. I used a Windows 7 VM to run the game with shockwave and the old version of IE 8. I opened up the F12 Developer Tools window. Went to the "Network" tab and played through the game. I downloaded all of the .dcr's from the urls that popped up.
Here's a video of me playing the game. [media]https://youtu.be/CrWj5RKKynY[/media] (Aquarius is muted...)
oh wow! takes me back, I can vividly remember playing the game on an old pc with a big, huge/deep monitor screen. so nice to see it again ,i wish they had a website like that up again.
Thanx, some of these are basically the samples used in their trax, fantastic!
I also like the "under a pot" samples which sound like when you hear club-like playing a gig on a street... "Hey pal BOC are playing in the club, can you hear it?!"

Wow, really great great great find. I'm so excited. So as you can hear e.g. 'Amo' are various tracks for 'Amo Bishop Roden', we can now also combine the 'Tellia' tracks to get a fuller version of that track. Furthermore, the 'Tellia' tracks are also A06 from 'Random 35 Tracks Tape', so now we know the title for that song, or at least part of it.
Also, is it me, or does 'Tellia' sound way to much like 'Telecom Italia'. Doesn't fit timeline-wise I know, but just a thought.

Tellia is just an earlier version of Seven Forty Seven. "Tellia" must be an alternative title for the track.
Wow, I completely forgot about that track, sixtyniner. Still interesting to find out about an alternate title. These are the tidbits that keep me going.

I was wondering about that, too. I think it is related to the taillight pic though.
cheers for this
