What do you think of Home of the Underdogs?

I am for it - if a company considers abandonware theft, it is overly greedy.

Without doubt a great site. It does alot to preserve the old games esp. the ones which are hard to find.

And they link to any store where you can still buy the classics.

I really like the site but I download 7 games. 2 links redirected me to the publishers site. Another one downloaded no problem but the other 4 didn't work after I downloaded them. I am extremly miffed.

What is their extension? You need WinZip/WinRar for a couple.

No I had all the software. WinRAR for zip's/rar's and Arj32 for .arj's but there were files and directories missing from the downloaded files.

Can't install the game if files are missing. I was able to get one of them working after by altering the install .ini file and deleting anything that pointed to the sounds folder, which was missing. SimTower, Strife, and a Mini Golf game still don't work.

Wierd. I've never had such problems.
