Any feedback?.....no replies yet on the games I have

[Smiling Spectre]

*Disclaimer* It's my personal opinion, and it have nothing with site officials opinions. I am only translator.

Well, I think, Abandonia have too much games, and too little reviews and reviewers. So your game can be uploaded on FTP... where it will sit forever, if someone (maybe you) will not beef it with reviews and screenshots. Otherwise - thank you!

(For me personally there are some entries in your games that I would find interesting... if it wasn't non-registered shareware. I am not a big fan of games that I have no chance to aquire in full form.

Some of them are already on FTP, I will check which ones exactly.

Also, from the top of my head I can say that Sopwith is on site, most of Apogee shareware games (Paganitzu and Crystal Caves for example) are still being sold etc.

If it is a shareware game, then we won't accept it. Well, we will if it is full version and it has been released to public domain. Otherwise, perhaps it is for Reloaded.

If the game is free from the start, then it's also for Reloaded. There is some tiny chance to be added here if it is very old, however.

We also host only official releases. If some utility is made by fans, it is not our field.

If you have full versions of shareware games, it might be useful to preserve them by uploading either here or at Reloaded (or we will move it over). They won't be selling forever anyway (hopefully). I'll check. Are all these full versions of shareware games you're offering?

Oh wow, I had Paganitzu in my collection, but just bought this one and can confirm that it's exactly the same thing. Shame, shame, other abandonware site.

*Your status is now "married" (yup! it's true)

*you turn west*

*a thread bump has appeared in your way!*

I uploaded them to Kosta and The Fifth Horseman via FTP years ago and they should have them...if not think I have the ZIP that I gave to him

aanndd ehhh no. The shareware in the list in the OP is not the full version heh.

*looks at the OP and posts after that*

*facepalms* my god I was so. so. so...stupid. ._>

also..I noticed a lot of the download links have been pulled that I remember years ago I got from here but now they are being sold on steam or GOG. How times change

Well congratulations on the marriage thing! :-)

Indeed we don't really need reviews, but someone still has to take the time and work to publish the games onto the website.

We do need screenshots of each game. If these aren't contributed, as a last resort we could take them ourselves when we want to publish each game, but this can take a much much longer time to happen.

[Smiling Spectre]

Well, Japo, then publish games with screenshots initially?

I can make screenshots for DOS-games, if needed, without much hassle (of course, it will be only shots of the initial game stages... but who cares?

[marko river]

Well, I do... but I guess that's better than nothing.

Super necro. Its Stan again. I actually got the gumption to potentially work on this project but now I can't find my original pc gaming mega pack shareware disk and i don't know if the original FTP credentials that were given to me still work.

Anybody could help a longtime member out that would be great I just finished moving and I'm pretty bummed that the disk is potentially gone

[Smiling Spectre]

I hardly can help you to find old disks. What other help can I offer?
