Title: Good freeware sites for game advertising
Post by: Anarcho on Tue 18/10/2005 19:55:57
Do we have a thread somewhere that lists good freeware game sites?  It would be good to have a list somewhere, maybe a sticky in the completed games forum, so that enterprising AGSers can advertise their games on places other than the forums.  I just googled "freeware games" and came across a site called HippoGames...never heard of it before, but they have quite a few adventures for download (including 5DAS and 7DAS) with reviews---plus they get a ton of traffic.  I just submitted my game to them for review. 

If this hasn't been done before, maybe everyone can submit a few of their favorite sites, so that we can help spread the word beyond our borders about the many great AGS games out there.

Here are a few sites that I know of:

www.the-underdogs.org
www.gamehippo.com/
http://www.reloaded.org/
www.adventuregamers.com/
http://www.diygames.com/

www.abandonia.com

It has 5 days, 7 days, circque de Zale and I can't remember what other AGS games...

As I've just recently learned, www.reloaded.org is abandonia's sister site that deals exclusively with freeware games.  They're building an excellent site!

Warning about Hippo - They're either a bunch of bastards or just ridiculously slow with responding to emails. They put a link to Cirque on their page but a link directly to my webspace's copy instead of their own. I got REALLY screwed on the bandwidth front so I asked them repeatedly to stop linking to my file but they never responded, which is the reason I had to restrict access to that file except through the AGS webpage.

Yikes, thanks for the warning.  Hopefully they won't turn out to be jerks.
