Youtube Page FULL of Dos Game Videos

Post by **wardrich** » Sun Nov 16, 2008 3:24 am

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/Swizzley">Swizzley</a> over on Youtube has a rather large (264 at the time of posting) gameplay videos for various Dos games. It looks like he's a member (or maybe founder?) of another dos gaming community... one which *may* promote abandonware. I'm not too sure. Anyway, the videos are pretty good, actually. It's actually a pretty cool idea. Screenshots are decent, but gameplay videos will give you a much better idea of what the game will be like... maybe we should implement this over on dosgames.com for version 3.0 or whatever we'd be upping to when that time comes. lol.

Take a look@XTC if you like the idea, it's already implemented there, a short video of the games.
It's a neat idea, but it doesn't really is needed.
Some AW sites have 10 screenshots/game, some have 50, some have a complete slideshow.
Dosgames has 1 shot/game, whatever, fine enough. If emmzee wants 10 shots/game I'm sure we can provide them, should he want them.
There are even some archive sites that doesn't have any screenshots at all, only listed files, and I also find what I want if needed.

BTW Wally, 2020? Dream on.
And I know a site where there has been a major update -(Abandonia)-, all those who screamed loud for an update were the first to protest and demand that the update would be turned back to the old style, it wasn't Abandonia anymore, it didn't feel as 'home', many regulars even completely left the site's forum, think about that Wally......

[Edit]
BTW, if you like dosgaming videos Bloodpiggy from AB has also some posted:

I actually liked the old Abandonia, I feared the day they'd update it. The new skin is waaaaay too minimal. Ah well.

true, I agree with you on that wardrich

I have quite few screenshots, of particular games if you ever need them.

Yup videos are already part of the 3.0 plan.
