I think Captive for Christ wrote some stuff regarding the Q source and what we know of it, but like with any sort of religious text or scholarly information, I don't think we'll ever get true definitive answers on this since it's still speculation. There's also the L and M sources too, but those I just heard about while perusing the Wikipedia pages. Cracked did a brief summarization of both the Q source, the Book of the Wars of the Lord (now considered completely lost), the Dead Sea Scrolls, and a few others - though some of these articles lead to a 404 error. I'm not too keen on religious text, so I'm sure there's tons of other stuff that's also considered lost (even if it's non-canonical) that would be great to read some day if there was even the slimmest chance of them resurfacing.
A full version of the Gospel of Peter. The ending to it cuts off abruptly and there is no known pre-crucifixion story to it.

Probably the Dracula movie James Rolfe (AVGN) mentioned in his lost horror films video even though it may not exist, in that case I would choose “The first hardcore erotic game in the world” which is a lost computer game.

Yeah, Drakula is probably a hoax unless someone can get ahold of J. Gordon Melton to see if he still has his original resources. He recently put out a new book that appears to acts as a follow-up that you can read via Google Books, but the section about vampires and film isn't available for the free reading portion. So, if it's still there, then we can get more information.
As for the erotic game, do you have the title by any chance?
I don't know about never, but it's pretty unlikely we'll see any footage of an early Nickelodeon show called Nickel Flicks. It only aired during Nick's first year (didn't even make it to 1980). At the time, Nick wasn't widely available or watched and VCRs were expensive, so the chances of a VHS or Betamax recording of the show being out there are almost zero. And the show's presenter, John Moschitta Jr., doesn't have any footage either due to an issue with his storage locker that resulted in his tapes being sold at a public auction. It's possible his tapes are still out there, but I wouldn't know where to even begin to look, and if they are out there, whoever has them now probably doesn't know what they have. It's possible Nick still has it in their archives, but I don't think they'll be rereleasing the show in any format.

Now you piqued my interest. How much of it is lost?
It was banned in South Korea. ROMS popped up online but im sure if its official.
Oh, damn. What was the ban for? I take it it was the violence or maybe Kokichi (unless his just had some serious bastardization with the English translation)?

It's a total shot in the dark, but I'm sure someone from the r/ObscureMedia subreddit may have heard about it or knows more on it. I'm not 70s or 80s kid by a longshot, so I can't say much from experience about what VHS/Betamax recording was like back then. But, I'd like to believe that either Moschitta has something in storage and just forgot about it (assuming the tapes haven't degraded too badly) or someone else had the foresight to tape it when it aired and subsequently forgot about it as well. It would be really nice if Nickelodeon still had it in their archives, but of course I don't know what's left since I don't know if they still have stuff like their old bumpers from back then these days since I thought even Pinwheel is partially lost.

GORE WARNING: It was because of a 17 year old girl murdered a a child.
I don't want to jinx anything, but honestly I doubt that we'll every figure out Yeah Yeah Beebiss, even though to be honest that's my holy grail. If I knew I could drop 20 grand and have a definitive, absolute answer on it tomorrow--preferably some copy of Dweebers with a crazy mistranslated title, which is what I suspect--then I would do it, but at this point there is not enough evidence one way or the other.
