Oh, you're welcome! I'm happy you like 'em
BTW, I've been digging quite a few FTPs and websites for old demo downloads. The Italian site where the
War Wind
demo comes from has quite a bunch of interesting files, but for some reason (poor maintenance most probably) it's tricky to navigate - there are no directory listings at all. Here are some of the directories out there:
http://volftp.tiscali.it/pub/pc/msdos/games/
http://volftp.tiscali.it/pub/pc/msdos/games/arcade/
http://volftp.tiscali.it/pub/pc/msdos/games/demos/
http://volftp.tiscali.it/pub/pc/windows/win3xx/games/
http://volftp.tiscali.it/pub/pc/windows/win95/games/
http://volftp.tiscali.it/pub/pc/wind.../games/arcade/
http://volftp.tiscali.it/pub/pc/wind...5/games/demos/
http://volftp.tiscali.it/pub/pc/wind...n95/games/rpg/
http://volftp.tiscali.it/pub/pc/wind...ames/strategy/
http://volftp.tiscali.it/pub/pc/windows/win98/games/
http://volftp.tiscali.it/pub/pc/wind.../games/arcade/
http://volftp.tiscali.it/pub/pc/wind...8/games/demos/
http://volftp.tiscali.it/pub/pc/wind...n98/games/rpg/
http://volftp.tiscali.it/pub/pc/wind...s/simulations/
http://volftp.tiscali.it/pub/pc/wind...ulations/cars/
http://volftp.tiscali.it/pub/pc/wind...ames/strategy/
IMPORTANT!
These links will only work if you copy paste them into your browser's address bar manually, otherwise they'll redirect you to the website's current main page.
Also, the links
on
those pages won't work either unless you copy the download link to a file and change "ftp://ftp.volftp.mondadori.com/" to "http://volftp.tiscali.it/"
That said, here are a few more FTPs that work the standard way:
ftp://ftp.gameaholic.com/pub/
ftp://ftp.gamers.org/pub/mirrors/ftp.gamesdomain.co.uk/
ftp://ftp.farlep.net/pub/clubix/demo/
ftp://ftp.farlep.net/pub/clubix/demo2/
ftp://ftp.farlep.net/pub/clubix/demo3/
ftp://ftp.peliplaneetta.net/pelidemot/
ftp://ftp.piotrkosoft.net/pub/windows/games/
ftp://mirror.iprimus.com.au/games/
