I'm off to work for the evening, but first we have updates from Replacementdosc which added approximately 100 more manuals. DOSgames Online added Descent 2 a action/simulation shooter. Finally, Classic Gaming Archive added Tintin: Prisoners of the Sun a action/adventure game.
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 a big amount of updates for you today. I think Friday's are the busiest days around here right now. Today was hopefully the last day where I have to work during the day. Trying to switch between days and overnights multiple times a week is very draining. The TAF website appears to be down still which means I can't access my favorite forum. If you know of a "lively" hang-out which I should checkout to fill the gap please shoot me an e-mail at [email protected]
