Well, but on the other hand my Castle of the Winds review was never added because it's a Windows game. Or maybe they just didn't have the heart to tell me it was poorly written...

Or perhaps its a freeware/shareware game and as far as I know they don't entertain freebies at abandonia.com...

Ah yes, you might be right, actually. That was before AR came into being, I think. I don't care, really. I'm sure they'll have their reasons for not putting it up, so I'm not going to start pestering them about it the way some people on AR used to do...

I'm sure they have priorities, and this isn't a big one. But that doesn't mean mentioning it from time to time is "pestering them," to use your own phrase, any more than your mentioning games you or anybody else wishes to see here, from time to time, can be called pestering the admins about them. We all have things we like, or would like to see on the site; and in any case, if they don't like discussion of a game, or don't care for the title at all, they can simply stop discussion by saying no, and explaning why. It's been done before. Repeatedly.

Oh, all right. I'll ask about it on AR, then.

Fair enough. If the idea's vetoed, it's vetoed, and we move on. After all, there are plenty of games out there that are of interest to us all.

There's a stand-alone add-on to After Dark for sale at http://www.cdaccess.com/html/quick/tottwistdr.htm

Not an add-on, but a standalone. It's also not got a game section in it, and it's not interesting, either. Got it for review once, discarded it.

Since EA bought them up are they ESA protected?* I might be able to satisfy that request if they are not protected.

TaskMaster - I don't think EA actually swallowed them up, from what I have gathered, they were bought by Sierra, later sold to CUC, and most of the current info points to Vivendi.

All - I have a post on my efforts to get AD working with WinXP here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=45538.0 That post contains links to AD 3.0, AD Star Trek TOS, and the upgrade from AD 3.0 to AD 3.2.

I also recently obtained the AD Disney, Totally Twisted, More After Dark, and AD 2.0 versions from another abandonia member, and can provide if anyone is interested. (Not sure the best way to do this, but something could be arranged.)

I also am looking to obtain any of the 4.x PC versions (4.0, 4.1 Deluxe, 10th Anniversary) and/or the Looney Toons Version, if anyone has access to those.

Thanks in advance and hope this helps.
