If it's too big, we can't afford the amount of bandwidth usage it would generate. Every game on the site is downloaded circa 10 times every day - new ones easily double or triple that. Not impressive? Multiply that by 24 days and several hundred megabytes that ISO would take up.

That the site is free for the end users doesn't mean Abandonia receives its hosting from someone's charity and goodwill, you know.

Yes I know that, but couldn't they have reviews on the site just like for the other games, and instead of the download link, a link to the ISO Cellar.

But I appreciate that you have ISO Cellar anyway, even if the games have no entries.

There are games with "NO GO" because of legal matters on site, As I remember We do not make reviews to games which cannot be downloaded, but there could be a similar to "NO GO" button teliing that the game is not downloadable here but available on other server via ISO Cellar.

What do You guys think about it?

I think this idea isn't bad, but files in the ISO cellar are regularily deleted by the host. They are not served from abandonia but from unreliable sources like ("megaupload") and thus, the ISO cellar is not up to Abandonias standard. It's actually like a not-so-serious forum.

^ Exactly hit the point.

Indeed. The status of the uploads is always changing... it's not really worth the time and energy to review or link to them from the main site, unless your masochistic, and want to update links all the time.
