Well, first I reply to Saccade's points one by one!

I realize that the priorities here are different than mine. I just would be content with a guide that explains the whole process of unpacking and burning. Quote:

I just wished I would have known before. Now I feel I wasted my time. :-/ Edit: Somehow, this forum sucks. When you swing open the spoiler you can only read half of the guide, the rest is cut off. Last edited by Ozzie; 09-01-2010 at 06:35 PM. |

Well, I wish I could do something about that feeling, but you will have that feeling every now and then if you are doing voluntary work of any kind. I somehow see it as normal and I've accepted that. Especially if you have lot of ideas (trust me, I know what I'm talking about). Despite that I'm still contributing. It all comes down to the basic motive: it's either ego or love (love for old games and reviewing in this case). If love overcomes ego, you will keep contributing and thinking of new ideas although some of your ideas are refused, or even impossible. And no decent review will go to waste here...
edit: yes, we are having lot of technical problems. You will be able to see entire guide once the page is long enough (yeah, it sucks ) |

Sure, ego plays its part, but I don't think that the contrary force here is love for the old games, but the love to Abandonia, which isn't the same! I didn't lose my motivation to contribute now, but if it ever happens, I'll still contribute in other ways, for other sites. Quote:

Have to admit, though - they always have some amusement value. |

You forgot to mention - we often talk about: Why there is a limit for a size of the game
Without the limit - this discussion would not have place back to topic: When i upload files to ISO Cellar I use 7zip, but only as a program - the files are still ordinary ZIP. I really do not like when some downloadable things are compressed with something I do not know (it does not happen often, but it happens) or are not useable without additional soft. I got a collection of programs which I like and installing things for just *one* other thing is no fun. As we earlier agreed - let's stay with ZIP

Shouldn't we start to slowly bypass the current limit?
I mean, I'm not for adding 700MB CD images all of sudden, but what difference does it make if the archive is 150MB or 250MB? |

I said numerous times before - this "rule" is not absolute nor immutable.
If we have a slightly bigger game, go and add it anyway. |
