Adventure Game Studio

After almost a whole year in the making, we have finally finished our second full game.

LongLife Software Presents: 'Conspiracy of Songo'.

A romantic boat ride turns into hell for Jerry Hadson and Shila Rider, a young american couple, as their boat crashes into the shore of a mysterious small town.
When Jerry, later on, gets convicted for a crime he never comitted - it's your job, as his girlfriend, to find the real criminal, and save Jerry from his personal nightmare.
But the deeper you dig, the more complicated the situation gets, as you find yourself in a conspiracy of massive proportions.

Excellent!!! I'm downloading right now.

Oh, both links don't work!

The Tripod bandwidth limit is very low, and it locks the site every time some users are trying to download it in the same time.

Does anybody know a hosting site better than TRIPOD, that can store at least 12 MB?

Doesnt work for me either.

For me neither. I have enjoyed the demo very much, so I hope you could fix the problem soon.

Drat! Pity to hear it's not so accessible!

I've been waiting for this game!

Hey,

I added another mirror.

I managed to d/l it earlier and I've just been playing it for a while, I remember playing the demo not long ago. It's great so far, the story keeps you wanting to play more, just thought I take a break from the game and thank you for creating it,

excellent stuff fidodido

Wow, great to see a game made by fellow Israelis!

I'm downloading it right now (mirror 2) and will be playing it right when I finish Flashbax.

What was your first game?

Good game so far

Spoiler

but how do I get the guy to check his mail?

[close]

Nostradamus: My first game was "The Next Curse" (it's in the Medium Length Games page).

Vel:

Spoiler

The guy, Wally Wiser, loves rock&roll (he says that when you talk to him). So find something that he might want very much, and tell him that all the employees got it in the mail.

[close]

Cant you be a bit more specific?

Spoiler

In the job offers ad she said that there's a rock band who lost their guitarist, but it doesnt work.

[close]

Ooh ooh! I'm gonna download this!

...when I have enough time.

That's not what I meant:

Spoiler

Look outside Martin Zippo's hotel room

[close]

Spoiler

I didnt get to zippo's hotel room. The clerk calls him and says he's sleeping.

[close]

You have to wake him up first.

Spoiler

Explore the back side of the hotel.

[close]

This game gets better as you go, I'm stuck but I'll sleep on it, I don't want any hints.

Spoiler

I have the optic cable linked to tv, took cable into lab2 via outside and I can't put it in the vent, am I stuck, do I have to restore? there doesn't seem to be anything else to do (but obviously there is)

[close]

Timosity:

You're not stuck. You can't get stuck in this game.

Spoiler

She now says she's gotta collect caps from the bottles, but I can find none!

[close]

Timosity:

Spoiler

Look in the drawer you got the cable from, there's another object.

[close]

Vel:

Spoiler

There's a Job Offer on the bulliten board in the park that could help you.

[close]

Now I'm stuck pretty much right after where Timosity is.

Spoiler

I put the cable in the vent, but the TV doesn't show anything other than the OpticCAM logo.

[close]

Timosity:

Spoiler

There's a small switch above the TV-jack.

[close]

Thanks.
Well, I finished!! I really enjoyed it. Great job. I especially liked the music throughout. And the graphics were nice, too. Congratulations.

nice. I really like the background style. AGS games are perfect for procrastinating =)

I slept on it, but I'm still stuck:

Spoiler

I've got 3 of the bottle cap's but can't for the life of me find the last...

[close]

Duzz:

Spoiler

The last bottle cap is in the bottom drawer of the file cabinet in Victor Lunch's office. Find a way to pick the lock.

[close]

Is it me or does it take a long time to get past the title screen?

I slept on it and eventually worked it out and finished the game.

It was an excellent game, I loved it, the story and puzzles were all well thought out, and it seemed to flow pretty nicely.

Spoiler

The thing that stumped me the most was the draw in lab2 cause I looked in there and it said I didn't need anything (I knew about the switch for the camera but it told me I needed to put the camera somewhere useful first.) I checked the draw again and again and it still said I didn't need anything from there. Then flukily I looked in it again and it let me get the ventilation map, I guess I had to try and put the camera in the duct first before you could check the draw again. but I did work it out myself and finished it pretty soon after that

[close]

Again, Excellent work fidodido

Timosity:

Spoiler

It's supposed to be like that. When you first check the drawer, Shila says that there's a STACK OF PAPERS, and below it there's a cable. Right now, she is not looking for any kind of paper, so she doesn't bother searching the papers. But after you try to put the cable in the vent, she KNOWS that she needs to find some sort of documentation, so now she bothers looking through the stack of papers.

[close]

I'm really glad you enjoyed the game. The story was very hard to tell, because it was not complete when I was working on the graphics, and I kept developing it after a big part of the game was done. It resulted in a few holes, that was very hard to close. But I think in the end there are no holes, and everything is explained thorughout the game.

It shouldn't take time at all. Maybe your machine is a bit slow. Try to go to WINSETUP.EXE and turn off 'use antialiased scaled sprites'.

* sorry for the double-post...

I'd like to say, that your hint didn't help me in the least =) I already knew i had to get in there, just couldn't find how...  I got there in the end though,  just finished, very satisfying ending.  The music suited very well

Can someone PLEASE give me the test answers, cause, you know, the yankees aint very popular 'round here.

I just didn't notice the Buttons on the Bottom. They were hidden.

Hey people,

The buttons in the title screen are a bit dark, so if you can't see them, just move the mouse cursor to the bottom of the screen, and you'll notice 4 buttons.

Good luck.

Ok, I got past that, But How do i give the Voucher to the Employee?

That's where George Costanza works...

Well, I guess you can't give the Tickey to that dude in the Gaurd Place

Spoiler

Do I need to use something from the desk in the Recyclers office to pick the lock on the second drawer of the file cabinet in victor's office?.  If so, how do I get it?

Spoiler

[close]

lspace:

Spoiler

You're right. You need to take the paper clip from The Recycler's office.

[close]

AARGH!!!

when ever i go to give the Ticket to that guy in the Guard place Shila says "I Think I'll Hold onto it" and i've talked to EVERYONE

PLease help!

Spoiler

I'm at the well now and have no patience for this dying bit so could someone please tell me where I can hide or how to prevent my death

[close]

Are  the Facts Correct in the Quiz? Ive Tried every thing and he won;t pass me

Never Mind I passed LOL

Spoiler

I'm still stuck at the well.  Can anyone tell me where to hide?

[close]

lspace:

Spoiler

You can hide behind the the column on the right side of Songo.

[close]

Thanks Trapezoid.  I was finally able to move on.  Shouldn't we be posting this in the hints part of the forum or does it really matter.

Ok cool I finished the game -- i loved it!

I like your work fidodido, I enjoyed your previous game "The next curse" so much. This one seems great but I'm stuck in the beginning. How come noone has asked about

Spoiler

the vodka problem

[close]

??? I only have access to two locations

Spoiler

the park and the bar and I have a stick, a stone, a rope, matches, two glasses and the vodka.

[close]

Am I missing something?

You won't have a new location before solving the vodka puzzle. You have to fiddle with the bottle and glasses a little.

Spoiler

You have: Bottle (B), RG and YG. Use B on RG, RG on YG, YG on B, RG-YG, YG-B, RG-YG, B-RG, RG-YG,YG-B, RG-YG, YG-B, RG-YG, B-RG, RG-YG.

[close]

I found the answer!! Great riddle! I can't wait to see what happens...

Thanks for your help. I'm now stuck at the point where I need to find the other guard. And how do I complete the form for the mail?

FIDO!!1

I can't wait to download this game, possible tonight since I have no time right now (dial-up shit) and am downloading the latest release of AGS...

So I'm looking forward to it!

For anyone who hasn't played The Next Curse, it's truly a MUST HAVE.

Piece Down,

--EDIT--
Well ah...
I think I'll wait untill I get unlimited internet access once again...

lol, I accidently screamed out "10 Megabytes!?" when the download window popped up.


--Snake

Help someone! I keep looking in the forum for an answer! Look at my previous post.

minataure:

Spoiler

In order to fill in the form, you have to find out the employee's full name. Outside the cafeteria, there's a message board - read the message. Then, talk to the employee about HIS JOB, until he tells you: "My boos loves so much, that he gave me the Employee of the Year 2002 Award". Now you know his name...

[close]

Spoiler

Can anyone tell me what to do after I knock down Jazz by the well? I got his gun, but she says I cant leave.

[close]

Spoiler

You need information from Jazz, that's why Shila doesn't want to leave. Try to tie him up, with the rope

[close]

Finally finished! Good game, fidodido! Cant wait to see your future games.

Hey! It's only 10 Megabytes, dude...
That's like 40 minutes in 56kbps modem.
I don't think you should have a problem downloading it, Snake.

Please, help. I know the employee's name, and which is his mailbox, but I can't find anything to write with.

Okidoki, Fido, only for you!

Downloading now!


--Snake

Thank you, Snake. :-*

You won't regret it...

Played it through last night and I LOVE it. This is certainly the best AGS game I've played in a long time. I hope it'll get some nominations - at least in the puzzle and possibly story category - for next year's awards.

At first I was a little put off by the graphics, but they really grow on you, and by the end I loved the style (for some reason the bar is my favorite). And that first puzzle nearly made me stop playing (it made little sense to use the bottle when you had the flagpole, I thought). But after that... wow, wow, WOW! It all seemed so professional, the way new locations and telephone numbers were added. The plot, which actually made sense in the end. Although...

Spoiler

... it must be hard for a crime syndicate to profit from a business that only pays in coins :)

[close]

The puzzles were excellent. Even when they were a bit too game-like (the vodka puzzle in particular) they were well integrated in the game world. My only real trouble were those puzzles that required repeated action, and it took me a while to figure out how to get past the job interview, but I laughed out loud when I did. (I was a little disappointed though that you never got around to read those chemistry books and mix some of that solidifying liquid).

All in all this was a great game. The characters were funny (I loved how they all gathered down at the bar), the story is good and the dialog is really well written. And I really appreciated the amount of animation.

What's that song at the credits?

Edit: Oh yes, maybe I should mention, it took me some time to realize that you could go behind the hotel. Maybe that should have been a bit more obvious (possibly even a small path going around, for the garbage men).

GG:

First of all, thank you very much for the good comments, it means a lot to me.  :)

Spoiler

1. About the first puzzle - I think if you put the flag pole in the hole and try to stand on it, it may break, and the bottle, which is thicker and made of stronger material, can hold you.
2. About the coins - you're absolutly right, but it was the only "hole" in a very complicated story, and I thought I could let it go.
3. About the Back of Hotel - me personally, in every adventure game I play, every time I see a whole building, I try to check if there's a back to it. Because back sides of buildings are approachable in a lot of adveture games. But still, a path to the back would have made it better.

[close]

P.S: The song at the credits is calles Momentum by Aimee Mann. It's taken from Magnolia OST (a heck of a movie btw). I don't know why, but it seemed to fit perfect in the credits. What do you think?

For some reason I DID think about Aimee Mann when I heard the song, but I'm not all that familiar with her, so I couldn't tell if it actually was her. And although I've seen Magnolia I didn't recognize it.

I agree, it fit perfectly for the credits. I love it when games have real songs at the end, like in Tierra's KQ2VGA, Phantasmagoria and Alone in the Dark 3. It feels like an added bonus for finishing the game.
I hope I'll be able to get one at the end of my game-in-development, Shadowplay, without violating any copyrights. Maybe even something written especially for the game. Better start inquiring with acquaintances who play in bands.

Seeing your work so far, GG, it wont be hard to get someone to do a song for you at all.

Great game, very interesting!

I need help:

Spoiler

I talked with Magnolia and took the binoculars and now I need to get Santos' number or get Wally to check his mailbox, whatever comes first. How do I do it?

[close]

Nostradamus:

Spoiler

To get Wally to check his mailbox, you'd have to show him the discount to the rock concert (it's somewhere in Low Spot Hotel), and then he'll check if he got it in his mail. Then, you'll be able to use the phone, and find out Santos' number.

[close]

I feel very idiotic,  but..

Spoiler

I've explored the back of the hotel and I've been trying item after item on the windows, but nothing is working! :/ Spoil me, please!

[close]

Crimz:

Spoiler

The name is ZIPPO... that's the first hint...

[close]

Spoiler

OK you need to set something on fire in the back of the hotel so the smell will wake him up

[close]

Worked great! Thanks for the help! :)

OKAY, now that I have gotten to this page to ask my question, I think I know exactly how to finish the game. The only problem is, nobody asked my question, So I am still stuck.

I have the rope, pole, rock, newspaper, matches, free concert ticket, bottle, and binoculars. (hopefully I didn't miss anything) I know I need to find more bottles to get a ticket to go on the island. I am completely stuck. I have spent 2 days clicking on anything and everything. HELP.

Ps. I have no idea what people are talking about when they talk about the LAB or the CORD, etc.

Okay, I figured out how to get the job, except I am not passing the test to what I think are the correct answers: 1/3 bottle, New York, 206, and Fitzgerald. All of these answers make sense, but they don't work. And yes, I have tried changing my answers over and over and over again. I am sick of it so I am just begging for the answer so I can get on with the game. Sorry.

Hey, dun get fustrated! If you read the lines they mentioned someone else who also had the job. Remember the drunk? He didn't seem very "smart". If you don't get that..

Spoiler

He doesn't want a genius for the job! Answer the stupidest things you can!

I partiularly liked the job interview puzzle - I actually started double-checking my answers on the internet when the true nature of the puzzle slapped me in the face like a wet kipper!

AWESOME.

I haven't finished it yet since I haven't had much time. But you did a fantastic job with this game. There's great scripting in it, the story is fun and the atmosphere keeps you going...I only stopped because it was like 3 in the morning and I fell asleep...lol.

GREAT JOB!

Now make a follow-up to "The NExt Curse"...
The character-style in that game rocked arse.

Snake:
Thank you very much!
About the TNC sequel, it will be very hard, cause TNC didn't have a developed story, and I'd have to come up with an idea for the sequel.

Nostradamus:

Spoiler

No job will pay you 80 dollars so quickly, so you'd have to think of another way to get the ticket - have you searched the bathroom in "Armor Security"?

[close]

Read the next one only if you're still stuck:

Spoiler

Show the R.G.B bottle to the ticket vendor, and then call "The Recycler".

[close]

EDIT:

To all: if you've found any bugs in the game, please notify me about them, so I could fix them as soon as possible. Thanks...

Hi, please help me with the game, I've got a rope, a pole, a stone, a matchbox, a newspaper, a binoculars, a bottle and a concert discount ticket. I made the guy WW to check his mail box already. But I can't call the "Recycler". What do I do?. Thanks for the answers

Soro:

Spoiler

There are other things you need to do before calling "The Recycler". You'd better follow the dialoges, so you could understand what to do next. Anyway, you have to find Zak Santos, the night guard, so he could give you a clue about the thief's escape route.

[close]

QuoteAbout the TNC sequel, it will be very hard, cause TNC didn't have a developed story, and I'd have to come up with an idea for the sequel.

Well, you could hand the series over to me :P

I'm only kidding!
Whatever you must do, I'd love to see a follow up.


--Snake

Actually, Snake, I would be glad to hand the series over to you, but I don't think you have the time to do it, since you're working on your new amazing-innovative-original-will-take-years-to-complete project, 'The Legend of Leitor's Edge'.  :P

I think the chances of ME making a TNC sequel are close to zero. If I'll start working on a new project, it will not be TNC 2.

I have something else in mind - a catoony and wacky adventure about a dog who sneaked into the van of the thieves who 'cleaned' his owner's apartment during the night, and the dog has to find the way home, and maybe catch the thieves somehow. IF, and I said IF I'll decide to do it, I will write all the details in the promotion thread.

P.S. - Snake, if I decide to not do this 'dog quest', I'll think again about TNC sequel.  :)

Heh, you're right...it'll be the next Run Hot...

*looks at Corny*

That dog game sounds like a good idea, but yet for some reason I'd personaly rather see you make the TNC sequel ;D


--Snake

Well I just finished the game and I just want to say it was great. A great thing about it is that it surprised me every time finding out that it is actually much bigger than I thought. First it looks simple - you jiudst need to find the thief. Then you go to a second island and the time you discover the conspriacy from Jazz is asesome. I loved that story. And the puzzles were interesting and challenging. For me it's one of the best AGS games of the year. Thumbs way up for this one.

P.S. I would like to see a sequel!  How about this: in the intro of the sequel, the jet crashes and Shila & Jerry get into an adventure in another place they have never been in before. I suggest having both characters as playable characters in differnet parts of the game.

o_0 I like the graphic style alot, and that has to be the smoothest talking animation ever! But I have never gotten stuck (well, I just don't know what to do) faster in any adventure game.  :D Awesome Game!

Nostradamus: thank you for the comments! About a sequel, your idea is very good, and there's a chance I will make a sequel some day, but I don't know if it will be very soon.

earlwood: I'm glad you like the game. Don't give up, it's not too hard. Just follow the conversations carfully, and you'll know what to do next.

Hi, just wanted to say thanks to all, for the help; indirect and direct. It was an addictive, compelling and exciting game. Although I did get caught up in the details - I was convinced that I could use the toilet roll, stand on the toilet, find something in the plants, do something with the light switch. I thought there was a secret door behind the vending machine - maybe I need to get out more!! ::)
Equally I was convinced that

Ive finished the game ...and must say that its good to see someone make a complete game like this.
Its one of the best ags games i`ve played.
Some of the puzzle where a bit tricky(like the optical camera,i had the camera but it took me a while to work out why it would`nt work on the vent.) but all in all very good.

I look forward to anything you come up with in the future.

hehehehe, graphics look friendly.

Good stuff, I'm gonna play it right now..

I played the game through to the end.

I enjoyed your graphics. Very unique. Your characters weren't as good as the background, but I couldn't do any better. I think the bar backround was my favorite, too (as someone mentioned it earlier).

The music you chose for the game worked well, and was catchy, but not so catchy it was annoying.

The dialog, in some places, had some mistakes, but most of it was pretty good.

I liked you inventory gui, and your options gui. Also, the interaction/look at mouse thing was very easy to learn.

The puzzles were all logical (for an adventure game), and I don't feel I ever lost site as to what I was supposed to be doing.

All in all, I think this was a very enjoyable game. Can't wait to see more from you.

An excellent game, I must say, excellent work. I haven't played your previous game but if it's as good as this one then it's really woth a try. 8)
I don't know if it just happens to me, but I found a lot of sprite-centering bugs that happen in the game. When Shila raises her hand or something the sprite moves oddly to a position where it shouldn't be, like her feet are placed five or six pixels far from their original position and they come back when the animation ends. I have had that kind of problems when developing my own game and I solved them by centering all sprites when drawing them (adding blank columns on the left or the right side of the sprite).
There's a little bug in the harbour scene, when the ticket vendor arrives you can still go behind the desk and then the baselines seem to be messed up as Shila stands in front of the vendor but behind his hands, check it out.

I really liked the story, but I found it quite difficult to find out that I needed to answer all the questions wrong, it made sense afterwards, but if I hadn't read it I'll probably wouldn't have guessed it. Besides this, everything seems perfect.

Excellent work, fidodido.

Thanks a lot, Kairus!  ;)

I'm really glad you enjoyed the game. About the animation, you are totally right, and I will use your centering tip in my next game. Regarding the walkable-area, I noticed it before I released the game, but I guess I didn't do enough to fix it, although I'm sure I disabled the walkable-area after the vendor shows up. I'll check it soon. Thanks for mentioning it.

About the job interview: the manager (Kareem) said that Nelson Kappy worked there once, so it makes sense to ask Nelson how HE passed the test. If Kareem said just that Nelson worked there, it would have been too obvious, so I preferred mentioning Nelson's name among other irrelevant people who worked there.

Spoiler

You're right, when I read Nelson Kappy I thought that I knew that name but I couldn't remember who he was, so I totally forgot to ask him. So, that puzzle is well designed, too. :)

Spoiler

Actually when I played the game, I noticed that name already, but never thought of anything about it, so I tried and tried, and I had exhausted the combinations, in 30 times or so  (I'm sure I had answered some of the questions correctly, but I have no idea about any of those US related or sports related ones..., so by exhausting combinations I didn't try other answers for the ones I know...), so I eventally gave up and walked somewhere else and found the solution...

...Am I too foolish or not?

I was mildly annoyed at that moment, but I'll say it's one of the clever bits in this games that make it so fun to play. Great game. :D

Spoiler

Hehe, exactly the same thing happened to me, Gilbot, but seems that I forgot exactly to ask Nelson Kappy, so I had to read the solution given in this thread.

I cant download game at all !!!
Clicking anywhere !!!help.pleeeeeeeeeese... any good link???????????????????????//thanks.

Yeah...I really want to play this...but it doesn't download...don't you dare tell me it does.  ;)  post another mirror, possibly?

I've tried several sites in the past to try and download it, but never found one that works. I think it's been taken down. :(

I'm really sorry for neglecting it for such a long time.

Anyway, I uploaded it again and you can download it HERE (http://wave.prohosting.com/fido99/songofull.exe)

Sorry for the delay.

Yes :D:D

I have finished it. This game was driving me crazy, just couldnt stop before it was finished. It made me think off No action Jackson. Very good game,  i hope you will make another one.

The download on the site youve just linked to isn't working!  :(

I checked it a few times and it IS working.

Maybe there's a problem at your browser. Try to right-click the link and choose "Save as...".

Good Luck.

Nope. It's linking to the free.pro hosting site, but theres no link to Songo there, it's just asking me to join listing mortgages etc. Also tryed right clicking on your link and it just said songo.exe cannot be found  ???

Happened to me also, of course it's nothing for me as as I had already downloaded and completed this game long ago already.
There're some free hosting services whose links only work within certain parts of the globe as far as I know.

Dammit, the download isn't working for me. Please, try to fix it or something. I really want to play this, but I can't! Help!

Hey guys,

I finally found a hosting site that could host the game.

The download is splitted into three files, which can be found HERE (http://www.geocities.com/llsoft99)

Sorry again for the inconvinience.

thanks. the new hosting site works

That was one of the best games ive played! Thanks for sorting the link out  :D

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for the comment.

Wow. That was one of the best games I've ever played. Everything was awesome, except some of the animations looked a bit weird (sometimes Shiela would reach out her hand to open something, but wouldn't get her hand anywhere near it), but the great storyline made up for it. Also, I found a bug:

Spoiler

When Tanko Miller is threatening that guard, you can walk to Songo, by left-clicking the area called Songo. Then you can come back and walk around and Tanko Miller doesn't notice you.

Hey guys,

I finally found a hosting site that could host the game.

The download is splitted into two files, which can be found here:

Part 1 (http://projects.lateralshift.net/songo/files/songofull.part1.rar)
Part 2 (http://projects.lateralshift.net/songo2/files/songofull.part2.rar)

Sorry again for the inconvinience.

How about a website for this game, with some information and screenshots (basically what you posted in this thread). Makes it much easier for people to find. You can host the site on adventure developers.com, if you want, which also allows you to mirror the complete game on the server.

Sorry,but the download still isn't work for me.("the page cannot be displayed!")Can you help me too?Please,I really want this game.I've tried everything!!!!!! :'( :'( :'(

Okay it seems lateralshift.net is now called rpgi.net so so to get part 1 go to:
http://projects.rpgi.net/songo/files/songofull.part1.rar

part 2:
http://projects.rpgi.net/songo2/files/songofull.part2.rar

and yeah, now you should have it.

Thank you,thank you,thank you!!!
Finally...downloading...
:-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

The game was down again for some time, but I singed up at Geocities now.

Click HERE (http://rapidshare.de/files/4455556/songodl.rar.html) to download.

After clicking the link, scroll down the page and click on the button "free", then scroll down again and click on "songodl.rar".

If it doesn't work, try one hour later.

Good luck.

i am so frustrated. i downloaded the first two parts on the new link above, but the third was corrupted. now i can't even access the files. can anyone help an adveture addict out?

I reuploaded the third file, and it should work now. Hopefully.

Just checked the link, alas, it still does not work. When I try to unzip it, it states the archive is corrupt. When I download it, it takes less then a second. A blink of an eye really. Something must have gone wrong in zipping up that last segment. Reading over the last 8 pages, this game sounds really good. You're making a lot of hype for me with it being not available  ;D

What about rapidshare??

OK, I signed up at RapidShare.

To download the game, click HERE (http://rapidshare.de/files/4455556/songodl.rar.html) and then scroll to the bottom of the page and click the button "FREE", then scroll down again and click on "songodl.rar".

If it doesn't work, try one hour later.

downloading...  :o

 ;D  ;D  ;D It worked! I just finished downloading and started it up. Can't wait to play it. Thanks!

here's a direct link 2 the game:

http://aafiles.bicycle-for-slugs.org/full/Conspiracy%20of%20Songo.rar

I request the mods 2 put it on the download page 4 that particular game

And yes, let me tell u that this a lovely game!! 8)

*coughcough*

Don't do that, please.

There already is a working link for the game. People have been using it. That is good. This is an archive link. It's to be used when the author can't be reached, or the link is broken and no one's noticed, or something. I update and maintain that archive, but I know nothing of bandwidth costs, and so am the first to ask: keep it's use to a minumum. I'm not saying "don't use it", just "make sure the author's links are broken."

Vaibhav_4u, that was a good gesture, and we appreciate it (personally, I hate RapidShare), but don't go around requesting these things just like that, k? Anyway, you could always have PMd the author or a moderator, which would give you a quick and efficient reply. ;)
