Well, that makes both Framed and Monopoly 100% safe to add to the site  Would you care to review them yourself? |

| Yarin | I think Monopoly and Captain Zins are both the full releases of the game. I played both a while back and can't remember any shareware nag screens. There is also no information on how to buy the games in the readme-files around the game folders and I also searched all binary and data files of the games for some keyword strings ("share", "demo", "buy" and "kauf" [german for buy, the terms shareware and demo are common in german as well]) with a case-insensitive search which considers endianess, ascii / unicode etc. pp. - no results. | |

Seeing as Kosta and myself has worked hard on upgrading the Oldwarez list to v2.0... here is the updated reply regarding the games Commander Keen 1: Marooned on Mars Commander Keen 2: The Earth Explodes Commander Keen 3: Keen Must Die! Commander Keen 4: Secret of the Oracle Commander Keen 5: The Armageddon Machine SOLD Commander Keen 6: Aliens Ate My Baby Sitter! Keen Dreams (aka Commander Keen 7) Copyright (both): id Software, Inc. 1991 Protected by ESA. Cyril Cyberpunk (aka Cyberboard Kid) (Not in the oldwarez list, so I added it.) SOLD Duke Nukem SOLD Duke Nukem II SOLD Bomberman (aka Dyna Blaster) Already on the site. Jill of the Jungle Jill of the Jungle 2: Jill Goes Underground Jill of the Jungle 3: Jill Saves the Prince SOLD Lode Runner Made by Br?derbund (ESA member). However the game can be hosted, if Kosta wants to risk it. Reason is that ESA don't care about it - yet it is still under their protection. MegaMan X Copyright: Capcom Co., Ltd. 1995 Protected by ESA. Tony And Friends in Kellogs Land (german) We only host English versions, I'm afraid. Although, truth be told, I am not sure on our policy when the game never was made in English. Turrican II: The Final Fight Made by Rainbow Arts (ESA member). However the game can be hosted, if Kosta wants to risk it. Reason is that ESA don't care about it - yet it is still under their protection. Bifi 2 - Action in Hollywood (german but I think you can set it to english as well) Try to switch it to English, and see if it works. In any case this game is Freeware, so if we are going to host it, it would be on Abandonia Reloaded. Captain Zins (german) This game is Shareware - and German. Again... the same dilemma as with Tony and Friends. No English version exist, so I am unsure about our policy. What you could do, however, is to see if the version you have is the full version. (Meaning that the game doesn't stop suddenly and tell you to order the full game). If you have the full version, we will debate our policies with non-English games anew. Dunkle Schatten Dunkle Schatten 2: Im Netzwerk gefangen Both games are freeware and German. So, again, if they go anywhere it would be on Abandonia Reloaded. We need to discuss our gaming language policies there as well, I see. Telekommando 2 - Das Telekommando kehrt zurück (german) Wow. I draw a complete blank on this game Anyways, it is still German. Again we face the policy issue. I sense an admin meeting soon... Victor Loomes (german) Another blank, see above Framed Totally Abandonware  k:Monopoly Shareware - again, check to see if you have the full version. If you do, this game is A-OK. Tales of the Unknown, Volume I: The Bard's Tale Bard's Tale II: The Destiny Knight, The Bard's Tale III: Thief of Fate, The Made by Electronic Arts, Inc. (ESA member). However the games can be hosted, if Kosta wants to risk it. Reason is that ESA don't care about them - yet they are still under their protection. Aces Over Europe Already on the site. Eishockey Manager (german) Another blank. You really know how to stump me :bleh: However, it is yet another German game. Same deal as the others. Energie Manager (german) Freeware. Same deal as the other German freeware games  Tankwars And my final complete blank. No idea whatsoever about this one. So, in conclusion: Completely safe to host: Framed Ok to host, if Kosta wants to risk it: Lode Runner Turrican II: The Final Fight Tales of the Unknown, Volume I: The Bard's Tale Bard's Tale II: The Destiny Knight, The Bard's Tale III: Thief of Fate, The Ok to host, if it is the full version: Monopoly Ok to host, if we decide to host German versions: Tony and Friends in Kellogs Land Ok to host, if we decide to host German versions, and it is the full version: Captain Zins Ok to host on Abandonia Reloaded, if we decide to host German versions: Bifi 2 - Action in Hollywood Dunkle Schatten Dunkle Schatten 2: Im Netzwerk gefangen Energie Manager Not ok to host: Commander Keen 6: Aliens Ate My Baby Sitter! Keen Dreams (aka Commander Keen 7) MegaMan X Sold: Commander Keen 1: Marooned on Mars Commander Keen 2: The Earth Explodes Commander Keen 3: Keen Must Die! Commander Keen 4: Secret of the Oracle Commander Keen 5: The Armageddon Machine Cyril Cyberpunk (aka Cyberboard Kid) Duke Nukem Duke Nukem II Jill of the Jungle Jill of the Jungle 2: Jill Goes Underground Jill of the Jungle 3: Jill Saves the Prince Already on the site: Bomberman (aka Dyna Blaster) Aces Over Europe |

For that matter I want to be evocative of Oxyd Magnum Gold (the ultimate version HotU doesn't have). I uploaded it to the content server a long time ago... [edit] I was so motivated when I remembered that I was too stupid to do this per PM. :whistle: [/edit] |

No one seems to know the good sites http://www.dosgames.com or http://www.dosgamesarchive.com. What they offer is limited, but there are many games out there (including Frames <although shareware> and they hosted Blood and Skyroads long before Abandonia). But I prefer Abandonia. |

Thanks for your replies. To sum it up: Good: Lode Runner Turrican 2 Framed Bard's Tale 1, 2, 3 Cyril Cyberpunk (it's available for download at "the underdogs" so it should be abandoned) Dynablaster (also available @ underdogs) Good if german games are accepted: Bifi 2 (advertising game) Telekommando 2 (advertising game) Tony and Friends in Kellogs Land (advertising game) Captain Zins (advertising game) Not good: Commander Keen 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Dreams Duke Nukem 1, 2 Jill of the jungle 1, 2, 3 Aces Over Europe (you were right - it's "over" not "of") Still unknown: MegaMan X Dunkle Schatten 1, 2 Victor Loomes Monopoly Eishockey Manager Energie Manager Tankwars |
