Hi there :bye:


After yesterday's tragic happening, which can be read about in this topic, we also have good news. Believe it or not.


First of all the server speed should increase drastically for all the downloads, making all the downloaders very happy.

Secondly we suddenly got a lot of free space on the server, which we want to fill up. This means Mega Updates, Giga Updates and even Bigger Updates



Now...
Obviously we need the help of you forum dwellers for this, and also we need to make sure that the new games are not ESA Protected.

How do we do this, I hear you ask... well, it's really simple really. The first thing you should do is to look up information on the game you want to supply using MobyGames or any other info-site. Then look really closely at the companies involved in the game. If any of the following names pop up, the game is ESA Protected, and you don't have to start reviewing it.

• Activision, Inc
• Atari
• # GT Interactive
• # Hasbro Interactive
• # Spectrum Holobyte
• # MicroProse
• # Infogrames Entertainment
  
• Bueana Vista Games
• Capcom
• Crave Entertainment
• Eidos Interactive
• Electronic Arts
• # Bullfrog
• # EA Sports
• # EA Sports BIG
• # EA Store
• # Maxis
• # Origin
• # Westwood Studios
  
• Her Interactive
• id Software
• Konami Digital Entertainment
• LucasArts
• # LucasFilm
  
• Microsoft Corporation
• Midway Games, Inc
• Namco Hometek, Inc
• Nintendo
• NovaLogic, Inc
• SEGA
• Sony Computer Entertainment
• Square Enix, Inc
• Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc
• THQ, Inc
• Ubisoft Entertainment
  
• Vivendi Universal Games
• # Blizzard Entertainment
• # Coktel
• # Fox Interactive
• # inXile Entertainment
• # Knowledge Adventure
• # Majesco
• # Massive Entertainment
• # Mythic Entertainment
• # Sierra Entertainment
  
• Warner Bros. Interactive Entertaiment, Inc
• Wild Tangent

If the game is clear of these producers, we will accept it. Remember to give a very good description of who made the game, and who published it. Again... use either MobyGames or any other info-site to help you out.

Thanks in advance, people.
Now let's get the site back on track k:

Side note, there are some oddities concerning UBISoft's SSI heritage... some folk recently asked the company for using some sounds and music from Warhammer 40k: Chaos Gate and ended up with reply the sort of "What the hell is that game???".

Just a notion.

As we have a lot of free space on the server, we will accept games that was thought too big in the past. 100+ MB games, here we go

YAY! That's one of the good sides of this unfortunate event!

Then would it be possible to get Anvil of Dawn ending movie/cutscene for download?
