http://aafiles.bicycle-for-slugs.org/full/The%20Adventures%20of%20Fatman.rar Here is Fatman from the AGS Archive.

You really should have asked this question on The Underdogs forums though, why should we help you with problems on their site? Given your current record, I think it'd be best if you don't start a thread on these forums for a few months at least, unless it is to ask for help with developing a game.

WinRAR is free, if I'm not mistaken.

[scotch]

Sorry to be of absolutely no help.

Rar is a rather common compression format, similar to but more efficient than zip, type "rar" into google to get a list of programs that will let you extract rars and other common archive formats you'll see on a regular basis if you download games.

7zip, for example, is a free program that can handle both formats.

[Tuomas]

Better get a unrar program yeah. I hardly ever see .zip-files anymore, perhaps some random ones, once in 3 months but still. WinRAR is free in a way. It just tells you to register, but you can skip that by closing the notifier, or just crack it, which wouldn't make a difference, but is not supported, (as if).

Having winRAR will not help you access the Underdogs download. It will allow you to open the .RAR file that scotch (quite helpfully) linked to.

[Ashen]

But (as Hotspot said) you CAN play Fatman now, right? Which is a start.

Don't know how much help this is, but Underdogs works perfectly for me (tried Fatman and a few other random small games). Which at least narrows it down to probably something (hopefully solvable) on your side, and not a cock up with the Underdogs site.
Have you tried everything they suggest in their Download FAQ (download managers, firewall, etc)?

While I'm seeing a lot more rar-files lately, they're still a minority (like 1 in 7 or 8) in my experience. Still, having a rar-compatable program is definitely a good idea.

*ahem*

1. You really need to be more specific about your problem. If you succesfully downloaded Fatman, then you should be able to download all games... dunno what's wrong.
2. Did you, by any chance, as suggested by scotch, go to the underdogs forum and check there. Underdogs <> AGS, you are aware of that.

I never had absolutely any problem with downloading any game from the underdogs. Do check the FAQ in their site, in case indeed you have something on (firewall for example), like Ashen suggested, and see what you need.

using 7-zip , or other simlar programs will save your life, as they can compress and uncompress dozens of different file formats, including RAR of course... It is very handy.

I hope it helps...

[Ashen]

I think he downloaded Fatman from the link scotch posted - not Underdogs, so no real help there. Of course, TVD, you might find some of the OTHER games you're after there, if they're AGS games from a while back. Otherwise - as has been said - the Underdogs FAQ and forums might be more help than us.

ITS A ZIP FILE

[Akatosh]

TVD, if you should be using a download manager, turn it off. Worked just fine for me.

[Nine Toes]

I think you'll get temporarily banned or blocked from downloading from HOTU if you are using a download manager.

[LimpingFish]

I think you'll get temporarily banned or blocked from downloading from HOTU if you are using a download manager.

...or trying to download more than one (1) file at a time will have the same effect.

http://www.the-underdogs.info/game.php?gameid=4485. Using this link, I had no problem downloading Fatman.

Make sure you type in the download code properly, EXACTLY as it appears in the graphic (ie. 8A1Lz not 8a1lz or 8A1LZ).

You should have no problems.

Just get winRAR. simply. It can unzip everything. No need fear zips or rars or cbz or cbr or what ever.
