Fallout source is gone too. There was just no reliable way to store source code back then, a lot of times it was just one of the developers that had it sitting in a desk drawer.
If it’s new enough, maybe a burnt CD.

These are games that were made when and before the Zoomers were being born. they are ancient by most people’s standards.
