Over 35 scenes were available to play, some of which have been preserved by the Search in screenshots below.

A game on the Bonus Features DVD of the 2006 film, where Rexy and the player hunt for the lost keys after Dexter steals them. Certain scenes are viewable through VLC media player, such as one of the keys being found in the coal cart of the West's train. With the death of Flash and Internet Explorer, this game is impossible to play, but is a matter of emulation at this point.
