Default ESA: No go! icon

I know it been suggested in the past, but I think it's time to bring the subject up again. When you do something for so long, you think you've seen it all... But one day or another, it get back to you.

Today someone asked on the chatbox "What does no 90! mean?".

Having no clue, I asked him where he saw that. I was expecting some random answer about something else or another site, but his next answer was:

"I want to download game X, but it's written no 90! instead of download. Where do I get the game from?"

Think about all the fun you'll have to miss when the 'no go' would be linked to an explaination........
And do you really think that it would solve something? I have my doubts.
It's as dosbox, even if it's clearely printed that you better don't mount your C: directly, some still will do so .... SORRY couldn't let that one go , LMAO .

SORRY. :laugh:

This happens almost everyday.
Perhaps a more explicit message could change things...

DAMN YOU, LEARN TO READ! YOU CAN'T DOWNLOAD IT!

I'm joking

totally out of context:
why is it that some games are downloadable when the page is set to english, but go all "no 90(!)" when trying to load them using the german setting?

ex:
http://abandonia.com/en/games/191/He...and+Magic.html
http://abandonia.com/de/games/13004/...and+Magic.html
(also notice the different number in the url)

Think above is the best solution

Think that the questions will be:
Why is there a 'no download' for this game.
:laugh:

In fact, I'm pretty sure of it.



.... No, I'm sure of that.
