Iron Scarecrow: I was refering to all games. I think that Abadonia is still far from having all games above than 2 on it's list. When this is done then I guess we'll be able to concentrate on the worse ones...

Yes but still there are many, many games above 2. I think we should be aiming for all games 3 or above for the moment. There are still many games that we don't have that deserve 3 or higher.

I think freeware has to be rated on a slightly different scale because in most cases the best freeware games are not going to compare with the best commercial games.

Then we'll have two completely different sections. One for old dos games and one for freeware, both with their own different rating systems. LOL LOL LOL

Maybe not then. But I think when we rate freeware games we should look more at how good they are to play than how preofessionally made they are. That way you wouldn't end up with all the freeware games getting 2s and 3s.

It's ok actually, if freeware games are just rated 1 note below the note of other games. So 4 max for freeware as editor's note and the rest of people as they see it fit.

I think Mouse is right, rate them on how much fun they are. And they could be anywhere from 1 to 5. But then also note that they are Freeware and explain it is not rated on quility.

I always rate on the quality - fun ratio of any game.

I am currently working on another freeware game that I will place on the site (if the creator allows it), and it will get a full 5 point of of 5!

Some of you might complain that the game is not good enough to get a five point score, but I will give it that score nevertheless. Because only one man has created a whole new world, complete with history, map, monsters, dialogue and characters. AND he is placing up newer versions as well, with bugs repaired, new quests, new characters, more music scores... and so on, and so on.

The graphic may not be as good as could have been, but he has done a remarkable job with the game, and it is immensly fun and addicive to play.


So just you wait :evil:

Sounds like it's going to be big. How big?
