Okay - I'm going to start organising the games and reviews that I've already submitted / am yet to finish.

When everything I can provide for a game (Game, Reviews, Walkthru/Hints, Screenshots, Extras & Boxshots) is finished, I'll move the relevant game from the first list to the second one.
When it's there, I'll highlight it.

--

This isn't so much for you guys as it is for me - I've lost four or five reviews and other bits recently and I don't know if it's my transfers, them disappearing or me forgetting to upload them.
To make sure I don't lose anything again, I've just made it all a bit tidier so I can see at a glance which games need more work and which ones don't.

When they're totally ready, I'll make a new post with the game title and what it comes with.

eg.
Abbey of Montgane - Game, Readme, Review, Hints, Walkthru, Screenshots.[On FTP]

Hopefully by doing it this way, I won't have to try and figure out why certain files aren't on the FTP server when I thought I uploaded them and then don't know where they even are to submit them again.

Now, a list of all the stuff I need to upload in order to make all the rest complete.

Games and Content to Delete or Otherwise:

• Space Rogue - Game Files (Better Version uploaded by Vanshilar) [Removed]
• Genghis Khan - Game Files (Already on Main Site) [Removed]
• Subwar 2050 - Game Files (Already on FTP by Xhumed) [Still on FTP]

[TotalAnarchy]

Hmm, impressive. That's a lot of stuff.

We actually prefer the original version with the cracked one (or cracked exe) uploaded as extras, if available. You should upload it, anyways.

You can upload the rest, I think. (Including all that stuff for DSD)

For now, nothing has disappeared for me. But who the hell creates those MM_CASETEST and XYIZ... folders, on the FTP?

And about Subwar 2050. Since Xhumed offered it first, we'll consider his version. We're still waiting for him to upload it, though.

[Saccade]

It'll be more impressive if I actually manage to get it all done, Total, I think...
That's my new goal for my spare time on the computer, since I'm not going to look for more work until after we get back from holiday; Just write about and play games and all that for a while. Relax and stuff.

Idk who makes the folders... Can you not check the log and see which IP logged in that time, then cross-reference it with a user-account IP from the forum?

Okay - I'll remove Subwar2050 game from the list.
Do you think that Xhumed will be doing the review as well?
Considering that I have been uploading games and not doing the reviews, I think that I have created quite a back-log of things to do!

If someone else will take Subwar2050 review, I would be very happy.

I'm afraid not. I'll ask Paco about it later.

I would be happy too, unfortunately this is not the case. Nobody was assigned and nobody volunteered.

[Saccade]

Well, I suppose I will get round to it eventually... It's not one of my favourite games, though - I prefer more "real" submarine sims like Wolfpack. Subwar would've been better if it was faster and more like WipEout HD.

Or even Descent...

[Saccade]

Floor 13 - English Manual Transcript as .doc for download as Extra. [On FTP]
(V Useful for playing game!)

Also would be useful to update review to let you know that you can save the game!

[Saccade]

Thanks for giving me the copy codes for Time Quest.

I was wondering - as I'm just organising all my writings and works for Abandonia, if it may be possible to sync my FTP folder with my PC..?

If I can get both my FTP folder and my PC in sync, I don't think there will be any more missing files and it will mean that I can get more reviews done a lot quicker, as I have them well organised and know what I'm doing next...

The things I am missing on my PC and Mac (and everywhere else I've looked) that are in my FTP folder are:

- Darkseed 2 - Walkthru

- Dungeon Hack - Copy Codes, Walkthru, Boxshots, Review and Screenshots.

- Red Dwarf - Review.

- Spy Vs Spy 3 - Review, Screenshots, Boxshots.

I think that that's it.
Not as bad as I though.

If anyone could do me the massive favour of letting me download them, so I can file them, that'd be great.
I've several other games to submit, but want to clear the lot in the above lists first.
By having a mirror of my FTP folder on my Datastick, PC and Mac, it means that I have everything in its place and my productivity will go up a lot.

I plan to have the reviews and everything else for all the above games finished and on FTP by the end of the summer.
I think it's doable.
Thanks Luchsen for sorting me out the other files I was missing.

Cheers,
Pete

New Offers:

Spitwad Willy - Game
Bushido - Game (Original 1985/7? CGA 5" Version)


I'll upload the Reviews, Screenshots and Boxshots (If I have it) - It's the "Martial Master's Multi-Pack, with Bruce Lee and Budokan". I've also got one for Repton, Repton Infinity, Xor and Swoop and one for Winter Olympics, Olympic Games and Daley Thompson's Decathalon somewhere. If I find one, I should find them all.)
as and when if they are accepted, unless someone else takes them before I get round to them.

-
Just saw that Bruce Lee's on here already. Didn't come up before...
