sorry, don't think you quite followed this there - this thread was resurrected yesterday and it's slightly out of date since AR is now dealing with freeware, so we're only talking about shareware here now.

Isn't the entire point of Abandonia Reloaded for freeware?

My $0.02:
I guess there are a very small number of good freeware games, but I've never played one longer as 5 minutes or so. Oh yeah, once, but that was the holy flash-game whack-the-pinguin-with-the-baseball-bat. God, I 'm a sick person.
Anyway, freeware is fine by me, but I really hate demos and thus I'm not a big fan of shareware either.

Cheers,
Lodewijk

Take a look at our other site www.reloaded.org and you'll find ONLY freeware

So i guess that Soalr Winds or Vinyl Goddess is out of question, or they became abanodned?

I would really like to do review on those games.

You guys seem very serious about this topic. So, if a game is shareware like Biomenace(Apogee software game), then it can be included. I remember playing this game. This game had 3 Episodes with each 1st Episode being released as a shareware. It had nice 13 levels of play. The game was quite addictive and so I think, If a game is released like this, It can be included.
Moreover, I remember playing Vinyl Goddess from Mars, it also had many levels in the Shareware version!
In my opinion, if shareware games have that much stages, then there is no harm in including them on Abandonia.
