Trapped in Hyperspace cannot be recovered because 1.) the Internet Archive couldn't pick it up and 2.) no public, searchable web page currently has a copy.
In regards to 1.), there's nothing anyone can do about that. The game uses preloaders that the Internet Archive simply can't detect. (loader.dcr downloads and uses gamefiles.dcr, etc.) TiH certainly isn't the first Flash/Shockwave game to be lost because of this.
Point 2.) leaves some hope. There may be some webpage out there hidden from search engines that still exists and has the the game. Failing that, the only place to get it would be from the developers (Pepworks), Williams Street, or possibly from some sympathetic Cartoon Network webmaster.
The game would still have some requirements though. It would need the 3dGroove libraries to play (which I have) and it needs to be on a Cartoon Network domain in order to play, but there are ways around that. I've gotten Powerpuff Girls: Showdown in the Sky to function and it had both these problems.
Video temporarily disabled until I upload a proper replacement ~ 2010-05-08.
Now I just need TiH the game files...

Other Games Backed Up
Although not added to the Lost Data website just yet, several games have been backed up:
Given the news that Naruto Shippuden will air on Disney XD and that Naruto itself hasn't aired properly on Cartoon Network in months, there is a great risk CN will eventually remove the games. I may put the games up for a test period to make sure they are all functioning.
The He-Man games apparently never appeared on the United States Toonami website. It's one of those UK-only games similar to the Megas XLR game.
I don't know if the Planetary Forces game is playable anywhere else, though I have seen some of the files in the Internet Archive. Just in case, I've backed it up.
- Some He-Man games from the Toonami UK website.
- The Clone Wars (the five-minute short series) game Planetary Forces, also from the Toonami UK website.
- All the Naruto games from the Cartoon Network website.
