Help Us Out: Add your game to the showcase | Help us keep RR online
I’ve been *very* busy over the past week or so sorting out some hosting or another so I can get binary downloads back up.
My efforts have been rather unsuccesful so I’ve decided to fund the hosting out of my own pocket… What?! I hear you say… How is he going to afford that? Well I’m going to be selling a few items on eBay in August to fund the first years hosting on a un-named server which will cost me around �80.00-�100.00 per year for unlimited space and bandwidth which is rather cheap don’t you think? There will be NO AD’S on the new site… I refuse to deal with ad’s and market forces anymore, but I will be accepting donations via snail mail and maybe Paypal to keep the site up and running. I’m not actually expecting any donations so any I do receive will be a bonus!
When will the binary downloads be ready? I’m looking at a Christmas relaunch, I will have (hopefully) finished all the html and php work and uploaded 500MB+ worth of stuff by then! The index page will look just like the old one but the archive pages will have changed as the games will no longer be rated and the remakes will be listed in alphabetical order (0-9, A, B, C, D, etc) and not by the game remade (Bomberman, Boulderdash, etc)…. 27 archive pages rather than the 100+ I did have is a lot easier for me to maintain!!!
All this work will be going on in the background so expect updates to be around once a week till December…
…oh, I better give you a new link whilst I’m here, Arturo Tuya and Richard Jordan both sent in exactly the same link on exactly the same day. Spooky or what? Anyway it’s a new work in progress remake of Mikro-Gen’s Three Weeks In Paradise… I hope it gets further than this one :o)
