I think it's not too big for ze ISO Cellar!  [/b]

I know, but to be honest I am not sure how I feel about the ISO celler. It isn't that I want to deprive anyone the chance to play the game but I do have a problem with the hosting site profiting off my investment in my game collection without it being a mutually beneficial arrangement. Creating an ISO and uploading it is a time consuming process. Hours and hours for most games. I just don't have that much time to help someone else make a profit from it.
At Abandonia I am happy to give as I also get a lot of value from being a contributer. Also, Abandonia is more of a closed environment because the link can always be removed if the game's status should change. As a software developer I have great respect for the stance that Abandonia takes in that regard. If Abandonia were hosting the ISO I would be more inclined to go to the trouble.
I am more in favor of supplying ISOs to Abandonia for hosting in the VIP section. And yes, I know, people can always download it from there and upload it again to any number of ISO hosting sites ... on their time.
Sorry didn't mean to hijack someone else's thread.
