Home of the underdogs......leaving home

Post by grupof0091 »

Hi, you know The Home Of The Underdogs (www.the-underdogs.org) and you remember how usefull was that site. 2 years ago it was updated every month, but now only once every 4 to 6 months!!!!, i now see that him (or her) administrator is really abandoning the site and leaving the good old games in the forgotten land. My question is if there is another site that post many games like underdogs did ????

grupof0091, but they already have 5325(!) games on their server. And another thing, they not just host games, what older than 5 years, they host games, what, in their opinion, were underrated by peoples when they was released.

I agree hehe. :up:

The only other that shows real promise is Abandonia and their freeware games spinoff Abandonia Reloaded... as they are posting a game a day (though probably they're all available on The Underdogs).
HOTU is thinking of putting in a wiki-like system where users can submit games themselves but looks like they haven't found a programmer yet who can help them do that.
