Thievius Raccoonus was a downloadable spin-off game created to promote the release of Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus in PAL regions, and was named after the book of the same name from the series. It appeared on the now defunct official European website for the game, www.slyschool.com, from when it first opened in February 2003. The website is no longer available, but it can still be viewed at The Web Archive. Because the website heavily relied on flash, it does not work properly, and prevents the game from being downloaded.
