I asked if anyone was doing TimeQuest a bit earlier. If no-one is, I wouldn't mind having a play-through of it. Looks good.

Cheers Total, me old china.

You can donwload what you need here (removed link and sent it in PM) . Optional size for screens is 320x200 or something that can be resized to this values without cropping or distorting (if there's no such size, upload the one it has). To take screens in DOSBox you press Ctrl+F5. When you're done with downloading, notify me, cause I need to delete them.

Also, I don't see Dunjin on FTP. Can you check this.

About TimeQuest, you should wait for Paco. I think there's noone for the review.

[Saccade]

Nice one about TimeQuest. Will wait to hear.

Walkthru to come when I've typed it up. (this game took f--king ages.)

I did this weeks ago. The doc's probably still around somewhere in my Voluntary Work folder - I doubt it's lost. Just badly organised.
Where is all my stuff going, I wonder..?

This is the second thing that's vanished.
I'm going to start keeping a better log for my FTP client.
I always make sure that everything uploads 100%. If it fails for some reason, I just try every 15 minutes until it makes it...

Weird.

That is the Stuff which is missing on FTP. I also deleted Ghengis Khan 2 from FTP, because we already have it on AB.

I thought they weren't on the FTP server...

All Stuff that is submitted on FTP is listed here:

oi. You are right. Well, then you can send this archive to Saccade.

As asked for by ac:O -

Dungeon Hack:

- Copy Protection Codes
- Walkthru / FAQ
- Cheat Codes

These may need a bit of formatting, as I've copied them as RTF... They look fine in TextEdit.

Also - I've ripped out the bits which have gamerfaqs "official" :notrust: stuff over everything and the parts about the original author.
Original text is here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/dos...le/564794/2004

Not sure where we stand with that. Thought I should tell you.
The Copy Protection Codes are pretty important and can be found in several places on the internet just by using google.

- Boxshot - Really poor quality, but the only one I found... Shouldn't have bothered uploading it, but I'd already done it before I though of this.

[All on FTP]

------

Drugwars - review, screenshot [is text based]
Druglords - review, screenshot [is text based]
Chickens! - review, screenshots

I'll dig these back out and upload them again soon. Sorry they went missing - don't know what happened there.
Will let you know when they're back on the FTP.

Well if you want to use the walkthrough, you should email the writer for permission, he'll probably grant it to Abandonia. For sites like GameFAQs, the author is the owner of the document, the site merely displays it, so don't want them to come and say Abandonia took their stuff without permission (GameFAQs has a board where authors post sites that take their stuff without permission).

Cheats are another matter, since apparently they're too "short" (plus usually they're just a list) to have the same respect as a walkthrough, so they get copied all over the place. For example, just google "space rogue" "all.des"; all the entries are just copies of my original entry on GameFAQs (without permission).

I think that I'm going to re-submit the Deep Space Drifter review with a new one.
Since Total sorted me out PCZelda's archives, I now have the .exe file.

The game file I uploaded was a .gam which is for TADS.

I think that having both the exe and gam for download would be good, as a few of the other IF games I'm reviewing are also in TADS format. It's a bit like SCUMM but for Text Adventures.

I'd like to add that there are two versions to the review, as I prefer the TADS one.
It's a lot easier to use and because it is in a continuous format, you can just scroll back up to re-read other descriptions and re-examine areas and objects without having to travel. Some games reduce your score for each action, which includes movement.
Being able to go back over things from wherever you are can be really helpful.
