As seen here, Railroad Tycoon is now free. Maybe you should move it to Reloaded Abandonia? :)

It's not Railroad Tycoon, but the DELUXE version. And it uses DOSBox to run ^_^

What does DOSBox have to do with it being freeware or not?:huh:

Does it have to do anything with it? :blink:
It's just a nice fact to know seeing how some people here are really close to the developers of DB.

Ah, right, sorry, I misread your post, then. My bad.:tomato:

Yes, I think Qbix was quite pleased they even asked for permission.:) Unlike the people responsible for those Sierra re-releases who just distributed a build of DOSBox on the CDs without telling the DOSBox team. Which is fair enough, I suppose, since it's freeware, but it would have been more polite to ask...

Abandonia is all about DOS games... I think that Kosta said in the past that even if an old DOS game become freeware, they will always stay at Abandonia. At worse, I guess there would be one version at both site at the same time like for ADOM for instance...

A. J. Raffles 21-11-2006 11:30 PM

Oh please, do we really need to go there again?:rolleyes: Yes, Abandonia is all about DOS games, but Reloaded is all about freeware games. So why would it be such a horrible thing to move the game?

Wouldn't the best idea be to have games at both sites, not moving to reloaded exclusively?

I meant to also add it to RA, and on Abandonia put the following button: http://www.abandonia.com/games/en/25...es/getonar.gif

It will be moved. All freeware belong on AR. This is something me and Kosta decided upon a long time ago.

However, AR will get in contact with the makers of the game and inquire about the freeware status. It could be a limited download (like the case with Caesar I). If that is the case, we won't host it at AR.

And, please, it's Abandonia Reloaded. Not Reloaded Abandonia. What the banner says has nothing to do with the actual name of the site.
