"Sure, it's good to preserve older games"
Yes, I mean exactly that.
"The only risk is sometimes games will disappear if a company requests due to copyright issues"
Believe me, this is valid for all upload sites except torrents.
"So, it's best probably for games at least 10-15 year and older."
Let's call that 5-10 :lol:
"The games I've been upping for last couple years are newer than that..."
Yes and I am a victim of this now. Especially you and Egon68 are the main uploaders in here, and you uploading almost all of your games to Mega and you never use 4Shared anymore. I can't download anything from here now, it's sad. The situation has become troublesome for me. And many links on other download sites are already expired, except that damn Mega of course. Mega links are keeping for a long time, probably that's why you all prefer Mega.
"Maybe next year I'll go through our archives and up whichever ones are not on internet archive yet"
Maybe... just maybe. It would be a very long and demanding job. I don't think it can be all done. We're old people now Scary, we are the oldest gamers of this planet 8) and no time for old men :P
"Also, note that Molitor has archived a lot of our games on usenet as well."
Usenet is another problem of mine but now I don't want to get into that issue.
