Whooa big listing tonight.
Swizzle shouldn't bother adding "FPS" and "Quake" twice in each sentence to get ads that look like those of a gaming site: we still got the lubrication and latex-related ads there anyway. Oops, I said it.
I made no progress in anything abandonware ever since I started running this big marketing research for a company down here, which I should conclude this week. Then I'll be looking into fixing the code of this olde ship the way it deserves.
Besides the usua...
My small post about Quake 4 appears to have worked - the Google Ads are once again something that may interest you. I haven't played Quake 4 since yesterday, and I really don't think I will have the free time to start it again until later in the week... We should have a FPS celebration around here to celebrate the new game - maybe a site doing the history of FPS games releasing 1-2 a day starting way back at the oldest FPS's and working up?
Many updates coming in today... there should be enough new content out there to keep you busy for the rest of the weekend.
I will be disabling the "comment" feature for the site listings as it's getting continually spammed by a "bot." I should have the code updated mid next week (no promises - it's been years since I've done any HTML/PHP code editing) so the listing will be a little cleaner. I need to get ahold of Lone Lee and see if we are still moving forward with the re-coding of AR. Can you believe this is bascially the same code base that we've been using since the year 2000?
I guess I took a week vacation or so? I realized on Wednesday that I haven't been around here in a long time, but don't worry - I'm back!
A big thanks to LD for helping us out on those Google ads. The Abandonware Ring paying it's own bandwidth bill was too much for him I guess and his excellent sabatoge of the listings have helped. Enjoy your underwear ads
I played Quake 4 for about ~2 hours today and I must say that it is put together very well. The graphics are crisp, the storyline is ok, and all that really matters is - it's fun. I think it's overhyped just because of the Quake name - it's nothing groundbreaking for sure, and if there was another FPS out right now I probably wouldn't be playing it that much. But it's got the Quake name so I had to buy it anways... I can't have a hole in my collection.
