Well it took awhile but it looks like everything has ended up as it should. I'm probably going to get hit by a meteor or something tomorrow to balance out my luck. Sarcastic

If there are any lingering problems please let me know and I'll take a look.

For now, I will finish setting up dosgames.com ..... then finally I can sleep! Yay sleep. Sleeping

Heh, later all. Cool

w00t. I could hardly notice the difference, except speed.

Wow, the speed is better!! I always wondered why the Gamehippo forums were so fast. This isn't as fast as GH, but hooray for MZ!!!

holy crap!! This is a lot faster!!

anyway i just thought i should point out that the Bat n Ball game (mentioned on the homepage) can't be found (404 error). Ya may want to fix that up if you have the time

Bat n Balll, is that a good game? if it isn't... don't waste your time, emmzee

hey emmzee, who makes all the graphix for your sites (like the titles and shyte?)

emmzee · Posted: Thu Feb 06, 2003 8:22 pm Post subject:

That'd be me ... I did all the graphics 'n stuff. dosgames.com is my first and favorite site so I'm rather protective of it, and I wouldn't let anyone else do stuff like that. Wink

Oh if anyones still interested, the mediocre game Bat & Ball is back up on dosgames.com:

What are your other websites, emmzee?

Da_Goat · Posted: Fri Feb 07, 2003 11:39 am Post subject:

http://www.vgstores.com is one of 'em

emmzee · Posted: Fri Feb 07, 2003 12:58 pm Post subject:

The recently redesigned http://www.potofgold.org is another. I also plan to add some content to http://www.emmzee.com someday Happy

what do you use to make them [the graphix] with?

emmzee · Posted: Fri Feb 07, 2003 8:27 pm Post subject:

Mainly Photoshop ... I used 5.5 to make the graphics on DOSGAMES.com and have since upgraded to 6.0. Haven't tried 7.0 yet. It's pretty expensive. There are other methods to obtain it (via P2P file sharing like Kazaa) of course I would never recommend such things. Paint Shop Pro is a cheaper alternative but I much prefer Photoshop.

Both of those take some effort to learn if you've never used similar programs before. Another option if you don't want to take the time to learn such a program could be Xara Webstyle (www.xara.com) which generates logos, buttons etc for you. Of course that's also shareware so you have to register it if you want full functionality.
