On the other hand, the % of those kind of "no go" / "ESA"questions are probably very low compared to the amount of visitors here, even the new ones.
Peeps that are visiting the site/forum daily -(or even more often)- will of course be amazed that almost daily there is such post, but in fact it only occurs sporadically.
It's also comprehensible that these ever returning questions in the same topic is because noone reads a 10 pages topic (ref : princess maker2)

Can you download this game here? I'm not sure if I'm just being stupid and can't find the link or something. I found this page through another website (the girl was suggesting where to find the game.) I'd really like to be able to play this. It sounds like loads of fun.

Thanks.

I did't realise it before but if you hover your curser over the No Go icon a text box pops up saying "download" this could be causing the confusion

[catchaserguns]

I have an interesting question. If a game is ESA protected shouldn't the manuals to the game go under the same jurisdiction? I'm just curious.

[The Fifth Horseman]

Nope, they have legitimate uses (serving as replacement of genuine owners of the original game who misplaced theirs).
If a company specifically wanted manuals for one of their games to be removed and contacted us to do so, we would.

Returning on topic:
@Data about new icons: I don't see Maikel on site since years and I don't think he will answer to me.
So, I wonder whether someone will change "NO 90" icon with a new one (mine or russ, it doesn't matter) or not.

[Eagle of Fire]

My own brother asked me today out of context what was the deal with the "no 90" button on the site. He understood perfectly that he could not download the games with those button (he's an intelligent chap, just like me ) but like all the others he never even thought about the button saying "no go" instead of "no 90". I was quite annoyed by the fact my own brother fell into the 90 trap and talked with him for a while on the matter...

I think that those who do not have a good enough graps of the english language, such as my brother, have no idea that "no go" would actually be proper english. They then assume the button to mean "no 90" since go and 90 are so similar with that font...

Could you ask your bro why he didn't read the "get it" icon as '9et it' icon?
It's the same letter font they used, but none ever asks what the '9et' stands for, seems as when they can download there isn't a problem to understand it.

No pun intended, just a thought.........

[Mighty Midget]

Probably much for the same reason he read GO as 90. If you haven't heard the expression no go before, no 90 makes as much sense. I haven't, and I doubt many have, heard 9et before, so "get" makes more sense without me having to think about it.

In fact, I'm pretty sure of it.

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

Probably descended from the people who used to ask, "Who is General Failure Error, and why is he reading my hard disk?"

Sorry, used to be my favourite joke

But yes, if people read the forums before they asked about ESA, they wouldn't keep posting silly questions and getting shouted at by the Fifth Horseman... :laugh: Poor Horseman, driven mad by nitwits. :amused:

[_r.u.s.s.]

actually, if the "no go" icon linked to a short article explaining that some company still holds the copyrights (global article, not separate per game), then we probably wouldn't have any

but i'm against it, i like seeng fun with newbies :P
