I'd love to help out, unfortunately I am a horrible writer and a not so great reviewer =D

Maybe you need a good cheerleader instead?* :w00t:

It's not very difficult to write an avarage review.
All you have to do is to follow some rules:
1. Tell people why they should play the game.
2. Tell people about some special features in the game.
3. - II - about graphics and sound.
4. - II - something about gameplay.
5. And if you want add something special (maybe it's better to add it batween step 2 and 3).

Enjoy your reviewing.
I didn't patented this rules. So everybody can use those rules to review their games. k:


BTW and please don't make all of you the same reviews, now! It can get borring reading always similar lines.

I see that you have Wasteland from 1988 on the list. Is that game similar to Fallout? Because I heard that Fallout is like a seqel to Wasteland.

I played Speed Haste for quite some time and could write a review for it... But I'm not sure I'm that good of a writer/reviewer...

What's all what a good review would need? Surely I would not be able to do them all. For instance I would have a very hard time supplying screenshots...

Why. It's easy to provide screenshots. If you play the game in dosbox, just press ctrl-F5 at any time, and dosbox will create a very good screenshot for you. the file will be located in the "snaps" folder in the dosbox directory. If you play in windows, you can make screen shots, by pressing "print screen" on your keyboard, and pasting it in paint. It's not that hard. k:

And the reviews... Just write most important details about the game, but let the text remain short and still not missing any important details. What the game is about, some more important content of it, graphics + sound + music.

Alright, I'll give it a go. I don't like DosBOX much, but I guess if it's only for screenshots it's no big deal.

I personnaly don't understand why people complain about not being about to run games on XP. Only a very few old games refuse to work altogether on my computer.

How many screenshots should I take? And in which format?

[Tom Henrik]

As many as you like, but the minimum is 4.

DOSBox will create the EXACT screens we are looking for. They have the right resolution, and the correct format. So you just have to send those screens as they are

[Eagle of Fire]

Alright. I noticed they are .png files, just wanted to be sure.

I already wrote most important things what should you write in your review. If you write a single sentence for every of those "rules" your review would be acceptable. Take a look at the top of this page.

I played Legend of Kyrandia and Descent. I could do both, still Descent is primary. I can write without sending game 'cause I have it. Just tell whom, where, what, I mean where to send rewiew and pics and so on. Someone said I should contact Kosta but don't know how. And tell me when do you expect it.
Also, I have some games for uploading. Once again: who, where......
