Christhecoolboy's offers
 

I found some games that I would like to offer to Abandonia, some of them MAY be shareware, but can you check, I have:

Six Feet Under
Amazeing 4.07
Bang! Bang!
Kye 2.0
Mr. Matt v1.59


None of these are registered versions... Once I have the go-ahead I will give you (The admins / Abandonia workforce) the attatchments...

Mr.Matt [SOLD] at Wrotniak

The main problem here is not that they might be distributed in the shareware way, but if your versions are indeed the limited shareware versions or the full ones. Some shareware games btw didn't have a limitation, and they asked you nicely to send them cash if you liked the game. Other, such as in Apogee's gave you only an episode (or volume) as shareware, and you had to pay cash to get the rest of them. It's not necessary for them to be divided into episodes. Another type is when the full game might be accessed by entering a code or doing another action, as instructed by the company after you've sent the cash to them.

I want to know if your games are limited in any way. Also it would be nice if you can provide at least the developer or/and the release date, which are possible to check out in-game usually.

A lot of them are 'shareware' and free to distribute... but in about it says about donations, so I think that it is 100% full, just shareware... not sure though...

christhecoolboy - INN and Never winter nights
 

INN: me and russ were testing the game, it works, I took some screenshots and I am in the middle of writing an Article for it... Russ is going to contact INN revival in a few days... , the people who host the server, to see if it is OK for use at AB

Never winter Nights (AOL): I have an offline version of the game that I am going to give...
P.S: Have i made AB history if I upload this INN?

What's INN?

Sierra's Imagination Network
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imagination_network

'the ImagiNation Network was a unique online gaming network that gave subscribers from all over the United States of America a place where they could "play games, make friends and have fun". '


1. Does it work outside USA?

2. How much do they charge now for subscription?

3. What online games are available for it?

1. Yes as it is now ran though an IP...
2. It's free as it now runs via an IP
3. games Like red baron, three RPG's, Boogers, a casino (for adults) as well as loads more games, at least 8 more games...

The project was abandoned by Sierra awhile ago (therefore no charge). The one he's offering is part of an indie revival project (using different servers). Although I'm still confused about the network part... How/why would we host an online game network here...

Because it is a sierra game... it is abandonware... it is DOS... it is a game... is that enough reasons?

But it's not really a game. It's an online network which is used to host games.

INN is a game, it connects to a network, about 50% of the games you can play by yourself online... that qualifies as a game, thats like saying that Modern Warfare isnt a game? but it is...

INN IS the network!!! ImagiNation NETWORK. The "games" that you play are Yserbius, Boogers, Red Baron, etc.

I think that perhaps because of the friendly-looking, graphics-heavy, and incredibly detailed interface, you are convinced that the network itself is a game. And also because unlike most online networks nowadays, this one is contained within software stored on your computer.

still it would be a good addition to AB

Stop fighting over this. I will ask Fifth to look at this in the morning.

The original network is completely nonfunctional. The server emulator might be added to the Programs page, if you can prove there are sufficient logical reasons for its addition there.

You completely misunderstand. We're not fighting, just posting our opinions.

its not an emulator, it runs via dosbox and uses the original software, all they did was change the internet file in INN to run through an IP...

Do you have a link to documentation of this thing?

not really, and before we can do anything, russ is going to email them to get permission to use their server... that wont be for a few days... then when we have confirmation we may continue, BTW, i have too some screenshots with russ and wrote a review for it...

mail sent

since nobody replied for a week i sent the mail on the innrevival discussion boards on the google groups, i hope someone will reply now .. since all the members of the mail discussion group get notified on their personal e-mails. if not, i consider it would be safe to use their server in the default configuration, because they either don't care or died or something. and i don't think that advertisement for their server is a bad thing..

Ok, but, what do we do if this does not work?

Common sense. They publicized the details of their server, ergo they want it to be known. There is no alternative anyway.

yeah, well, hopefully, Russ should be uploading it friday....

I Have SQ6 on my Collection disc, if I can extract it does AB want it, is it protected?

Also I found a copy of NVN offline (AOL) on the net, does AB want it? it is buggy, like it cant save is one of the problems... (but AB would have to get permission from the website i got it from? http://www.bladekeep.com/nwn/index2.htm)

SQ6 is sold at GOG :OK:

I doubt AB would want a buggy game - especially when not being able to save is one of those bugs. But thanks anyway. :max:

From that site you can see the nature of this game:
It's buggy because it can't be played online anymore, but it seems a full game to me, even it works partially.

i thought i would post this for the record

YIPPIE :OK: So, we need everyone to go on there... is that right? :max::whistling:
