Thanks for the info!
I did some more research, and it looks like PoppaZoppa was on “EA Games” back around 10 years ago, and when they took it down, a lot of people were upset. Here is one fan page from back then:

Then at some point, it looks like Pogo.com created a new version of the game on their site. On this page someone mentions it had been better on EA Games…

I found some screenshots of how it used to look:

Wow! I had no idea the game was from ten years ago. I’m shocked at how different the game looks compared to the pogo version. Very interesting! Thanks 🙂
