Submitted the nine 3.5" floppy images for the kind of rare 16 color EGA version through the main site.

Hopefully they show up...:P

OK, so I might as well reply here. The disk images are not a problem - they are sitting in the processing queue now, but please have some patience nevertheless. Wandrell, who is handling the disk images, has been overloaded quite a bit lately. I'm now trying to lighten his burden a bit again on other fronts (e.g. by updating the other parts of the site more), but there's still some stuff in the queue before yours.

As for the complete game submissions of King's Quest and Tie Fighter, you did not provide sufficient screenshots (one is not enough; four in-game plus title screen is the minimum) and full reviews with the games. What you wrote about Tie Fighter is about 160 words. That's half the minimum review length as stated on the respective form.

It is our policy not to clutter the main part of the site with too many unreviewed games. There are enough sites already which cover the basic game data. Stub entries are used to show different versions of games which have already been reviewed. So King's Quest 5 EGA would be a candidate which could be added without a full review if any other version of King's Quest 5 were already reviewed on the site. But there is none.

So right now, all I can ask you is whether you want to provide these missing things (review and screenshots for each of the games) yourself. If so, I will keep what you sent in so far for completion. If not, I'm sorry to say that I have no choice but to reject it all (not counting the disk images which will be catalogued regardless). And to be safe, because this turns into a problem regularly: Reviews and screenshots have to be made by yourself.

So, please let me know how to proceed.

S'okay.



Is there a way to submit disk images without doing a game submission? I went with the partial submission for KQ5 to get the disk images to you.

As for the TIE Fighter stuff:



Sorry about that, it was getting pretty early in the morning for me; and I didn't have my TIE CD-ROM handy for quick screenshots.

I'll work up on my review for TIE and get the screenshots -- should I simply attach my screenshots and post the full-er review in here rather than trying another submission through your front page?

Sure! Just go directly here: http://www.goodolddays.net/uploadform/. Enter basic information (like… what game it is) into the notes field.


Great! Just post it here and I'll attach it to your previous submission.

I have to say that I don't think I'll have much time to keep updating the floppies collection until July. I know that there is still a lot of work to do on it, but I fear I'm lacking time lately.

Still, I'll see if I take a look at your images this weekend, and also add a few others to the collection.

Added to the collection. Thanks for it, and I think it's also a new version of the game that wasn't around the net, or at least a little known one. The other EGA version I have is 062.

Hi.

I've got the dual media of King's Quest V EGA 16 color version. (0.000.055)
My 3.5" of Disk 2/10 , 4/10 , 5/10 , 9/10(Start Up) is missing.

I found this is uploaded with no.869.

I've checked SHA1 with mines.

The following are same as mines.

But I think 3.5" of Dual Drive Startup disk is missing on diskimage.
Of course I have this disk.
This is important disk with dual media release.

Dual media version of KQ5 (EGA 16 colors version #0.000.054 or #0.000.055) consists the following disks.


(5.25")
Disk 1 -- Disk 1/6
Disk 2 -- Disk 2/6
Disk 3 -- Disk 3/6
Disk 4 -- Disk 4/6
Disk 5 -- Disk 5/6 (Startup Disk)
Disk 6 -- Disk 10/10 (Dual Drive Startup for 720KB 3.5" Setup)


(3.5")
Disk 1 -- Disk 1/10
Disk 2 -- Disk 2/10 (I don't have it)
Disk 3 -- Disk 3/10
Disk 4 -- Disk 4/10 (I don't have it)
Disk 5 -- Disk 5/10 (I don't have it)
Disk 6 -- Disk 6/10
Disk 7 -- Disk 7/10
Disk 8 -- Disk 8/10
Disk 9 -- Disk 9/10 (Startup Disk) (I don't have it)
Disk 10 -- Disk 6/6 (Dual Drive Startup for 1.2MB 5.25" Setup)


I can offer if I've got missed disks.

P.S. I still can't download #869.

Maybe they are a different release? Anyway, we are happy to receive any new set of images.

And by the way, next month there will be a reorganization of the way the collection works, and will be open to anybody who wishes to help sorting and adding the sets of images into the collection, which way now depends only on me and is going way too slow. In case you are interested in helping a bit more.

>Maybe they are a different release? Anyway, we are happy to receive any >new set of images.

At least version 0.000.054 and 0.000.055 of KQ5 (EGA) was released with dual Media. (both 5.25" and 3.5")
I think upload user seems to contribute 3.5" format only.
But I have 5.25" version of it.
I'll upload it later.

Now I've uploaded 3.5" disk version of King's Quest V v0.000.055 on ftp.

This dump is perfect (Verified).

#869 must be bad dumped on disk 9 (Start Up Disk) and missing disk 6/6 (Disk 10)

Did you upload these on the server directly or did you use the webpage's upload system?

Forget it, I've just seen them.
