This is not a 'cheap' excuse to update this site, although I thought it would be a nice initiative to have an 'Abandonware Quiz'! To a lot of people this will seem like a doddle.
I once again apologise for the lack of activity, I have changed jobs and I'm working nights now - lack of motivation is a factor here, but I can guarantee everyone that I will not let this website die in the foreseeable future - I still have a lot of ideas for articles which I would like to get up here.
A few people have been quite confused of where I'm trying to take this little 'project'. I'm not looking to be a tabloid. I'm not trying to fill the void for DFL. I'm not trying to be the bastard child of 'Abandonware Blog'. I'm not pro-AR or pro-AP (saying that I'm not anti-AR/AP either). This is just me, no crew - attempting to write scene news & editorials (from my point of view). Although lack of news is a major factor, so I'm finding myself filling in the gaps with editorials. At the end of the day - to accomplish it being an interesting read without flaming would be a target.
Enough babbling - enjoy The Abandonware Quiz! Posting your results here would be appreciated!
I'm back to playing Gangsters: Organized Crime, which I recently purchased from Sold Out Software. So many memories of 1998!

Time for a new ring?

I want DFL back, it didn't suck as much as the older ones.
As much as I get your motivation, it's hard to create - or rather sustain - community on a blog. A blog has you as the centre of attention, whereas a community should ideally have nobody as a centre, or at the very least not be entirely reliant on that person doing something (making a post) in order to inspire conversation.
I'm not saying it's bad. It's great to have a blog. But a blog is a blog, not a community centre in the way that DFL was, or in the way the rings were.
4/10, I suck!
Tom; I get what your saying - I absolutley miss DFL, Abandoned Galaxy, TOT, Abandonware Blog or even TANN. And I'm sure if any of those came back, they'd kick this websites arse full-stop.
But unfortunetly after speaking with the last two webbies at DFL, I can't see it ever coming back.. which I'm really sad about.
Saying that though - if anyone one wanted to post an article in relation to something, or anything of the sort - I'd be more then happy to give them the right to do so.
3/10. Do I win a prize?
Rik; Will a dead goldfish do? ;D
Wow, I suck arse ;)
I got 6/10, which at this time is 91% better than everyone else, hahaha. Thats sad, how can not one person have got at least an 8 by now??
I could barely remember any of it...sure I remembered all the sites and names, but not who went with what ;_;
5/10
How well did you score compared to others?
You scored better than 88% of everyone else.
3% of respondents scored the same as you.
9% of people scored better than you.
50% (5 out of 10 Correct)
Which I thought would be crap until...
* You scored better than 85% of everyone else.
* 6% of respondents scored the same as you.
* 9% of people scored better than you.
So I guess it's not so bad ;)
Woo, a couple of things I was involved with was mentioned :D
GANGSTERS: ORGANIZED FUCKING CRIME!!!
Its all about I LOVE HANSON and of course, clicking a property you don't own just taking it over by making the person 'return to base' or something?
Wow, someone remembers The Abandoned Galaxy. Crazy. I just happened to pop by to see what was going on these days (as I do once every few months).
Incidentally, I only got 4/10. Bugger.
Nice to see abandonware isn't entirely dead,
The former webmaster of TAG (amongst many other sites)
4/10 but I guessed it all. In a shameless plug, I invite you to try our trivia quiz full of Sierra and Lucas Arts questions.
Quiz
Nice to see you LuN! How about sticking around, and perhaps opening TAG? You know you want to.. ;)
Incidently the highest score was 80% accomplished by only one person! The average was 40%. So you guys really do have goldfish memories.. :P
6/10....im old, I know everything
Y'know, there's one question I'd love answered. Marhasan knows who they are.
Who were the "abandonware terrorists"?
I find it funny that the Murfallo question leaves out yours truly - but especially that one of the options was Jante, who wasn't even involved in the scam ;D
