A thread to help Paco's Crusade through the lands of Abandonia
 
This is a thread to help with the filling of publishers and producers of games.
the idea is whenever we see something missing we can post it to give Paco some help and make more easy the job of filling the blank spaces.
Is it a good Idea?
I was checking these games and i saw publisher and producer was missing so i googled them,
here is my first contribution.

Quarantine is a 1994 racing/first-person shooter computer game for MS-DOS and 3DO, created by Imagexcel and published by GameTek
(source Wikipedia)
Quarantine II:Road Warrior is a 1995 racing/first-person shooter computer game for MS-DOS and 3DO, created by GameTek, inc. and published by GameTek, inc. (source Moby games)

The first three i've checked on that list seem to be completed

Now I don't have time, but since it's like checking games into requests forum I can give you all some hint, especially to Paco :)

First, remember to check MobyGames, second, try at Wikipedia, third, you can search info on other abandonware sites (xtcabandonware, cdosabandonware), HOTU Oldwarez list is a bit old because it's all Freezed there, but it's still good. Remember to not search into leechers cathegory (for example @ "free-game-downloads", that site is a bad Cut&Paste from other sites.)

Sometimes Amazon could help you a lot, but they often do some confusion about Producers & Developers.

Last useless hint...Google is your friend :amused:

@Doink true but the Games on the List Romano posted dont exist on Mobygames. I put it on List so i can look up later on other Site to confirm if the Info is correct.

@Juanca thanks.


I also need Info on Elite and Flashback since there exist 2 different Version. For Elite its CGA and VGA version. For Flashback its DOS and CD-Version.


You can also tell me if wished to add keyword for this or this Game and Games added to "If you like this Game, you will also like"-List

*points secretly to his Signature*

Keywords (tags), not now. A few games have keywords, only to test advanced search. In the mean time marko_river has prepared new tags for all games, but search "tree" must be modified before implementation.
You can add Also try if you wish, but maybe it will be better to start this as the next AB improvement "project" :)

oh ok. but words like Free Roaming, Card, Comedy and Western are rarely used.

Then Arcade, Puzzle and Text-Based is double as Theme and Genre.

If the List is too long, you cant see the Size anymore. Yo ushould also change that.

But i will not go through all Games again just to add Games to List again. :oh:

The only thing different between the floppy and CD versions of Flashback is release date.
