hah. what happens in 2015 if someone says "we dont want to host low quality graphics games like monkey island"

No one will say that because looking at MI graphics doesn't hurt your eyes and causes severe headaches

[wormpaul]

But they can say:

Nah...we only place games with 3d graphics

[Braindead]

Paratrooper is a great game in CGA and a true classic.

(isn't alley cat cga too )
Starts running to avoid Kosta's wrath...

Yup, It was one of my favourite games when I was 6 years old

All right, I guess it's like this: everyone has it's own oppinion. Hehehehhee, boy I'm smart.

Look, I really think that there are many CGA games worth a try. Since they are small I thought that it can't hurt to have them.

If Kosta doesn't want Abanadonia to become site with all kinds of crapy games, i respect that. So, why don't we upload several good CGA games (like we already did) and rest can be in extras or something?

Now, you'll ask why do we need CGA games which are not good. Well, I'm not planing to deal with real bad games. Only the ones that were legendary and that were inspiration to much better games, so real fans of certain games might take a look if they want. Also, many legends on other platforms were crapy on PC, but they deserve that much of respect. And another thing, there are some games that look too much crapy, but they were so smooth and fun to play. Example is Rad Warrior and International Karate, which can be played in Dosbox only if you lower the cycles down to 250 and then it is incrediblly smooth animation and action is very very fast.

So, i guess this is the question: what is the merit of the good game? It's graphics, popularity it had or the gameplay itself? Or atmosphere? Or everything?

If I upload Into the Eagle's Nest (which I'm planning to) which was hailed in the time it appeared (it's hard action game) and we don't upload Inetrnational Karate which is a way better simpley because of CGA, i guess that's not really fair.

So, Kosta, if you don't want some games to be counted on the site because they are CGA, then what about new section (like in EXTRAS or something) which won't cost much space and won't lower Abandonia's games quality since they are not with the other games, and there will surley be many people who will like to see that we didn't forget some old legends although they look bad on PC?


I will personally take care for this section (with help of someone who also cares, if ther's noone else i don't mind), so I guess this won't cost much. I also promise not to turn my back on other ways of contribution (WOW, now that's important, say.... )

Think....

I Kosta, nemoj misliti da ovo radim samo da bih probio IK, ako ga neces, nema veze, ali ima jos igara vrednih pomena........
Na kraju krajeva, vidi kakvo je raspolozenje, pa prosudi. Opet kazem, sam cu se starati o tom novom delu, pa kako hoces.

Personally I think CGA games should be allowed. I mean I had loads of fun playing some of those games, and they are abandonware...

Maybe if we just have the ones that are hard to get on other sites?

[marko river]

Or just real legends? But who can say which ones are legends??
