Now that Abandonia's FTP server is online again, I can now upload some new CD-less versions of ISO Cellar games! Because I've recently been asking the ISO Cellar posters if I could make CD-less versions of their games (and have been getting quite the positive response!), I will henceforth be including the names of the original uploaders with the list of offered games I post - unless, of course, the original uploader is me.

Dark Sun - Wake of the Ravenger (Ermuli) (71.3 MB; Redbook audio ripped; uses ZIP compression)

CD version of Lands of Lore - The Throne of Chaos (Ermuli) (135MB; French and German language files ripped; uses ZIP compression)

French and German language files for the CD version of Lands of Lore - The Throne of Chaos (27.1MB; installation instructions included in archive; uses ZIP compression)

CD version of The Legend of Kyrandia 1 (Ermuli) (72.3MB; French and German language files ripped; uses ZIP compression)

CD version of The Legend of Kyrandia 2 - Hand of Fate (Ermuli) (111MB; uses ZIP compression)

CD version of Space Hulk (The Fifth Horseman) (13.4MB; uses ZIP compression)

Warcraft - Orcs and Humans (Mystvan) (44.9MB; Redbook audio ripped; uses ZIP compression)

Here's some more stuff I have to offer. This time, it's the soundtracks from Frogger (3D) and the CD version of Warcraft - Orcs and Humans:

Soundtrack for Frogger (3D) (67.3MB; uses ZIP compression; 31 songs; songs use MP3 format)

Soundtrack for Warcraft - Orcs and Humans (CD version) (31.5MB; uses ZIP compression; 7 songs; songs use MP3 format)

OK, all the above-mentioned stuff I offered has been uploaded. Enjoy!

Ok, so basically now we can raise up the quality of our rip versions of games with nearly ISO quality material?

Yes, but it depends on the game and how well the required files compact (at least, when it comes to ZIP compression). I could write a mini-article with all the ins and outs I've learned so far, but I won't bore you with it here.

After consulting with The Fifth Horseman, I've been able to properly compress Norse by Norsewest - The Return of the Lost Vikings...

Norse by Norsewest - The Return of the Lost Vikings (Ermuli) (135MB; speech files downsampled)

Here are more games I've converted from the ISO Cellar:

Nihilist (Ermuli) (39.4MB; Redbook audio ripped; ZIP compression)

Ravenloft 2 - Stone Prophet (Ermuli) (74.2MB; In-game cinematics ripped; ZIP compression)

Command & Conquer - Tiberium Dawn Gold Edition (Dave) (79.5MB; In-game cinematics ripped; uses Nyerguds' EA-approved 1.06 patch; ZIP compression)

Thanks to The Fifth Horseman's testing, I can now safely offer my new CD-less version of Frogger (3D):

Frogger (3D) (Ermuli)(13.7MB; CD audio ripped)

Also, as a note to Abandonia's Grammar Squad, I've tweaked my review based on my testing, so it will need to be re-reviewed.

Here's a bit of a treat for Al Lowe fans:

Leisure Suit Larry 7 - Love for Sail (Ermuli) (115MB; majority of voice-overs ripped and lower-quality audio files from original image used)
