I had no idea the main page was actually programmed to add games when you have forum admins. (not bothering to reload the main page after logging in didn't help) I sure would have done this sooner if I had known.

The news adding button doesn't work, there's a separate log-in for that I don't have.

In my haste forgot to include a genre for Mask of Atlantis, and also mistakenly uploaded the bugged version of Time Quest before seeing the re-upload.

I will root through the upload folder when I get more time. I know there are some gems on GT we need to grab too.

It should just be your forums un/pass for news. Then after you post it you have to click the output news link. I guess this was a sane system in 2002.

Thank you for uploading things! I've been very busy the past decade and didn't.

Cool beans! Nice little collection here.

Too late to request a proper title of The Adventure of Link II ?

Thanks for the review!

Whoops. Sorry friend. Yours was one of the first I added and I was being hasty and excited. Short answer yes its too late... there doesn't seem to be anyway of modifying an entry after it has been added, at least from the scripts provided by the site. Long answer, no, I'll tinker around with it if someone sends me FTP password again. Or maybe it's the mySQL password...

Dos: I use the top link "post news" in the admin box, and it can not find any output news button. I can preview recent news, and it is there, but it does not appear on the front page. (Interestingly your news post is not there, but it is on the front page) With the "newsPHP" button below it, the form there does not accept my fora credentials.

Newsphp is the link you use to post news! I'll edit the DB entries to fix those mistakes in a minute.

Edit: Or I would, it seems to be giving a 500 error

More cleaning out of the uploads folder:
Arena 1 by RinGames
Portal by nupanick Seems like a later version of the one there.
Lynx's ZZT Graveyard by Lynx
Evilstania by Weaselfeathers

and, ahem, a couple others too by no-one in particular:
Super Archaeologist Simulator
KNIGHST OF MARS
Platon 2

Crackhouse1.zip got nixed for being three yellow bordered boards long and having a single object that just said "Gimme some crack bitch."

EDIT: Crap, I'm not too good at this. Seems Portal is not showing up because there it already a entry with that name. I made sure no zips would overwrite, but I guess titles can't be the same.

Thanks goes to Me for finding where Quantum P's All-Purpose TSR was, since it was almost a lost program, all I had to do was replace the URL from Belsambar with the one from ZZT.org,

BTW I packed the original with the name along with the author inside a text file.

I planned on adding instructions so people don't have to go through the included source code to see how it works, but forgot, so an update (reupload) is nessicary

RE: Commodore - the Reupload is ready to be checked out,

Cool, mind if I edit the instructions to add a little clarity?

A bit of work that should have been done long before:

The Ruins of ZZT by Dr. Dos
Ecco the Dolphin by Oof

Some unreleased (or lost) hayabusa stuff:
Haunted Dungeons by Hayabusa
Necrosis by Hayabusa

The GT compo entries:
What Do People Think All Day by Quantum P
Star Coffin by Pizza Time
Confidence Man by TripleFox
ZZINFILTRé by Newt
3D Skull Engine by Aplsos
Garden, The by Juliette Porée
CHIKAN WIER 3.9 by GreaseMonkey

Ameoboid was not added cause I'm on my parents Mac at home and it's a RAR file. I'm too lazy to change that on this machine.

BB, is SZZTLAND in the upload folder the final edit? Also should I add the GT preview version of Link to the archive?
