Hey,
Is Abandonia interested in games ripped from the original floppy disks (uncompressed .ima (renamed to .img) ripped with winimage)? The games will then be 100% complete even with the copyprotecion intact (easily removed on the most popular games with Neverlock and similar programs, if user manuals not availible).
I collect floppy and CD-rom images from the original game media. If anybody is able to provide me with abandonware game-images from the original floppies I would love to get a PM
To make things easy I'm going to make a summary of this topic in this post:
I've created a "How To Create Floppy Images Guide". I hope that all of you able to contribute with your original floppy games from the good old times. When you have created the images, please PM me and I will give you upload details (to my own Floppy Collection FTP, if you add your name to the zip file like "radivx - My Game.zip", I will pass your name/information over to Kosta so that you recieve the proper credit).
If you want a directly to abandonia upload, please contact Kosta for information/approval. Please read the pinned FTP information.
