Hi there,

I am really interested in knowing how many reviews or translations you already have made.

For me it's now (27th October 2005)


13 reviews
28 translations


How many did you do ?

cheers,

swiss

Review: 1 :whistle:
Translated and uploaded: Not sure, around 140.

Oh, yes, and screenshots for a little more than 10 games (I think).

Since there're lot of reviewers eager to do reviews and few translators, I decided to concentrate on translating the site.

Review: 3
Translation: 30-40

Reviews: 5
I'd like to do another one, but there isn't really a game in the list that appeals to me :(
EDIT: Or is there? :D

Translations: 28

You really want me to answer that?

reviews - somewhere around 60
translations - around 500

and you think you're showing off :max:
:tomato: :tomato: :tomato:

And there goes the show off topic... So much for it.

Luckily I posted before Seb because I don't know who could have the guts to show off after this piece of statistics.

Review: 4
And unless you guys want a Afrikaans translation, (I doubt there are many people that understand it around here) I'm not ever going to make translations.

review:2(at least i think so..)
translations:2(in the upcoming czech/slovakian translation)

You said show off, this is pretty stupid but it is nice to have the game you upload mentioned on the official Abandonware Ring. :bleh:


"Abandonia added Terminal terror, a highly overlooked FPS, possibly because the complex gameplay meant for that game was actually not still available in any engine in 1994 -- nor could the designers succeed in creating that by that time. It might sound confusing, play it and you'll understand."

Actually I went and counted my reviews... I contributed 75 reviews so far (and trust me - I've a few great game still up my sleave).

As for the translations:
Into Slovene: 472 - the rest was done by Rainwife and we're currently some 50 reviews behind the main site - too much!
Into Croatian: Some 10 review (didn't count really - but they had to be chacked out for grammar by the regular Croatian translating team).

But don't forget that the real work is done behind the scenes - mostly by Kosta and Data who are protecting this site from all sorts of attacks - and basically everybody who helps out - reviews and translations may be the most visable part of the site - but are much easier then most of the other work. So hat's off to the grammar team for ironing out the reviews, hats off to Tom & Timpsi for checking and double checking the abandonware status of the games (not to mention that Tom - just like Kosta - probably wrote more reviews then I did). Thanks to the people who made the site design (if I remember corectly it's Braindead and Makiel... or was it Mika - or maybe both)... Sorry guys - I know I left many out (the admins who make this site run smoothly and so on)...

Reviews: 0
Translations: 0
Menial, repetitive, thankless tasks: 3 (I think)

Thanks for that! :)

Reviews: 0
Translations: 0
Commas added, removed, or replaced with semicolons: 652, give or take a few

Strange, I thought I'd seen your name on a few reviews.
You seem like you would be a good writer Fruit, try giving the site a review!

Thanks! It's not that I don't want to review games; it's just a matter of finding enough spare time to install a game, get it working correctly, and play it enough to write a decent review. Should I find that time, I'll definitely write one.

Find a good old game you already played that isn't on the site.
Then give it a review.

I did that for Dark Half, and Terminal Terror, I played them again of course, but I knew most of the game to not have to complete it.

I'm sorry to put my nose here, but didn' t you get the wrong date for today?:blink: i belive it' s 27 September 2005; you are one month advanced (maybe you used a time machine... in that case sorry... :whistle:

Eeerrmm....

Reviews: 30 something-ish, maybe. Maybe more, maybe less. I don't count em.
Edit: Actually 30 reviews won't even cover my mega-updates... let's say 50-60.
Translations: Somewhere around 250-300 -ish... again, I don't count.
Pixels: All over the place, really. Let's say somewhere around 20-30 in total.
Games uploaded: I think maybe a hundred or so.
Manuals handwritten: 2 (Transarctica 30 pages with images, and Star Trail 270 pages without images, both manuals have hyperlinks.)
Games added to the Oldwarez list: 1871 (Timpsi quality-checks after I have added the games). It will be 1872, once I have included todays update...
Being stuck with Kosta: Daily.

Ain't I one lazy stinker? :bleh:

That's what I call voluntary work... Or maybe you get payed? :sneaky: :angel:

Well, that's something you SHOULD get payed for... LOL

30 pixels? surely you have more than that!

For me, it is nothing compared to :Tom:

But i have still done like 100 + translations and many screenshots + 2 or 3 reviews. but the hardest thing was to answer to 30+ French visitors' requests.

And i have to say that Tom helps out a lot by PMs and that should count for something.

Here's a newsflash, I actually read this forum from time to time! People will suffer :P

Just kidding... I won't say how much I do, but I do a shitload. Every whine in the suggestions forum equals a few days of work for me :Titan: So take it easy with good ideas ;)

Not to mention that I handle 95% of content submissions, fix reviews, optimize screens, prepare updates, administer the server etc etc. Well, no point in showing off on my own site, just wanted to say thanks for ditching me :bleh:

No problem :)

(And you only read this topic as I told you about it :bleh: )

But surely you can handle some creative minds! :bleh:

hmm I reviewed and uplaoded: Halloween Harry, Zork I, and Zork II

I'm sorry to put my nose here, but didn' t you get the wrong date for today?:blink: i belive it' s 27 September 2005; you are one month advanced (maybe you used a time machine... in that case sorry... :whistle: [/b][/quote]
d'oh! :beer:

I should get off those drugs ...

And just to make it clear: I didn't make this thread for me to show off I made to give everyone the chance to show off. :D (Believe me, I know that a lot of people make much more for this site than I did - or ever will be able to do)

Will there ever be someone who made more than Kosta, Tom or Sebatianos ???

ahm, don' t bother, it only proves you are using "some good stuff" :D

i' ve done very little but i' m not "ashame" of what i' ve done :bleh:

so far, 2 reviews ('Lords of the Realm' and 'Baldies')
and around 40 translations to portuguese (you can check that in the portuguese thread, it' s no secret)

i belive no, no one will ever be able to make more than these 3 guys, so for them:
:kosta: :kosta: :kosta: :kosta: :kosta: :kosta: :kosta: :kosta: :kosta:

Nah... all you gotta do to beat us is work daily on the site for about 8-10 hours ;)

Get to it :bleh:

Oh, and yes, I work for free. However, I did get a nice postcard from Kosta once :)

Well, 1 review plus screenies (Populous II if you care) and a couple for AR, but mainly some Grammar bustin'. Well, lots of Grammar bustin'.

EDIT: No more than Raffles, though.

hehe ...

I really consider of working these 10 hours when I get a postcard, too. :D

Thanks for your apreaciation, but there are people who also contribute a lot, but weren't even mentioned yet...

There's another statistic, that I would like to see you brag about:
How many ads you click on daily? (and I do mean daily!!!)

Anything at all done on this site : 0 times
I've done a bit on AR though.

Totally nothing.. because everything i would like to review has been reviewed already... I'm still awaiting some Raggedy A$$ game that hasn't been reviewed yet so... I'll keep you inf-ed

hahaha.
erm reviews, 1 (feel my power...)
translations 0 (i tupa anglichan)
walkthroughs 1 (for dfend, is full of spelling mistakes as i wrote it after 48 hours no sleep +i cant spell)
tremble before the oh so mighty amounts of work i have contributed to this site ... [/sarcasm]

Reviews: 2-AR-(still needs pics tho)
1-A-(in progress)
Translations: 0

Wow.... wow... WOW...

Eeeeasy there :blink:


If you click too many ads, the only result you'll get is that Google will discard your IP for future ad-clicks. And also cause them to contact us asking for an explenation. Don't go on a clicking-spree. That will only hurt us. Click a couple daily, like a handful tops. Don't go overboard.

17 translations.

I would clickety clickety on ads, but I'm a scared of spyware... :ph34r:

They're Google ads, they're clean.
