I'm rushing to get my work done this evening to get in some World of Warcraft. It's been too long since I was able to invest a few hours into the game. I really love WoW more than the other MMORPG's that I played, namely Star Wars Galaxies. The environment seems much richer, and like a real world. In Galaxies all you would ever do is go to a computer, accept some missions (killing spiders, or theifs) and ride around a bike for 10 minutes to get to the location for a 2 minute fight that no...
Today is yet another day of update happy webmasters. I plan on going back to listing specific upda e information in the news (i.e., the site and what was updated/added), but it's very difficult with some sites adding 30+ games.
Two updates so far today from:
Abandoneer which has added Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny an RPG for DOS.
Abandononline has added Zyconix a puzzle/strategy game for DOS.
Our new code base for the site is coming along very nicely. It will include enhanced features for site owners to manage their listings, an improved search engine, more features (remember that "weekly section" I've always wanted? including game of the week among other things), a smaller size, RSS feeds, improved site comments, user ratings, multiple designs/"skins", and more!
Speaking of multiple designs we are accepting entries from the public for designs. If you are interested in submitting a new AR design for use on the new site please send us an e-mail and we can discuss the specific design requirements. It's a great way to show your support for the scene, and we will have/allow a "design by" section so people know you made the design.
As many of you have noticed Abandongames.com has been down for a few days. I spoke to J-Who during the 2nd day of the outage to find out whats going on (since I miss the TAF forums so much). J-Who is attempting to get ahold of the "new" owner of Diskboy's Creative-Eye company to get the server fixed. We wish him the best of luck, and site owners (and I guess everyone else too) remember to make frequent backups as servers like to blow up!
Edit#: new update: Classic Gaming Archive - one new game and a few new docs.
We have several updates so far today, starting with Replacementdocs updated their listing with us adding over 100 manuals. Abandoneer added Innocent until caught a classic adventure title. Finally, Abandonia added Motor City a very nice looking simulation game.
