The Underdogs was called that for a reason: the idea of the site was to bring old games to the foreground that have become forgotten and for that reason, there were many gems to be found that you couldn't find anywhere else.
Since then, however, I discovered more sources that can match nearly everything HOTU had to offer. HOTU should have been transferred to someone else - one of the last newsposts was her enquiring for help in that area but she seemed to have lost interest. The amount of visitors to Underdogs has dropped a LOT in the past few years. 5kb/sec is just no longer of this time and the best gems were often those that were quite big. |

Its up again...If anyone cares.
...... *rushes to get some games* EDIT: Gnarly. They seem to have lost all the pictures and all the downloads are broken as well. EDIT2: So technically, there's nothing but bones left. Last edited by TheChosen; 24-09-2008 at 03:08 PM. |

Maybe the database is screwed but the files aren't really all gone? Well surely the HTML pages and CSS stylesheets aren't gone so... WTF?

Yeah though about that. But even if the files are gone there may be backups, specially since the error messages now say, "Oops-- this file is broken. Please try back later!" Still, not looking good, again.

Home of the Underdogs, Virtually Dead
They seem to have lost all of their files. According to the forum it seems to have been some form of HDD failure. Anyone care to elaborate or comment on this? I'm somewhat upset that this has happened though the site has not been actively maintained in quite a while.

Their site was offline for over a week. When it came back, it was like that.
I presume the files were stored on a different file server than the reviews and all that. |

Real shame to have possibly lost such a valuable collection of games and other assorted programs. It will be difficult to get such a collection back together.

To be honest, I'm certain she (the owner) has a copy of all those games. I mean, I have nearly as many games as The Underdogs on my Abandonware hard drive and that includes over 200 games on CD image and some of those games consist of more than 3 CDs.
