Pick of Destiny Drumkit (lost promotional Flash game for "Tenacious D" movie; 2006)
Status: Lost
Pick of Destiny Drumkit is a lost flash game.
In November 2006, to promote the UK release of the movie, Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, New Line Cinema created the website tenaciousduk.com. Included on this website was a flash game involving a drumkit.
Previously, Epic Records and Sony BMG had released a flash game called Tenacious D: Devil May Fry, produced by Method Solutions, this was to promote the film's soundtrack, and band's second album, The Pick of Destiny and was available at tenaciousd.com. This flash game has since been uploaded to third-party flash websites and is preserved, it is very similar to Guitar Hero.
Unfortunately, the developer for the drum flash game that appeared on tenaciousduk.com remains unknown. The game involved a menu similar to Simon, though it is ultimately unknown what purpose this served. The player would then hit the various drums to the vision cues shown on screen. A YouTube video uploaded by user GHshedder in January 2009 shows the playthrough.[1] The player had three lives, and the song played was POD, from The Pick of Destiny album.

In April 2009, the Internet Archive captured the final screenshot of tenaciousduk.com[2] Unfortunately, the .SWF file has not been archived, meaning that unless New Line Cinema or the developer re-discover the files, this flash game is lost to time.
