Hi everyone,

 

Is there anywhere a link on this site which would point to old site reviews ? It was really great guide to old adventure games.

 

Thanks

The old reviews are sadly not back up on the site yet. You can use Wayback machine in order to check the old site, though not everything might work.


Here is a direct link to the latest snapshot. It is a bit slow though.

Yes Fnord.

 

There were a huge bunch of excellent reviews - I hope that they are not irretrievably lost !]

 

The same applies to the very many walkthru's.

The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power,
And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave,
Awaits alike th' inevitable hour:-
The paths of glory lead but to the grave.

The new owners/admins have said that they plan to put the old reviewes & walkthroughs back on the site.

Since content is king of the web, it would seem prudent to make retrieving the wealth of core content from the old site a priority. 

 

Adding new content however is also important and I assume the new owners have limited resources to work with. 

 

There might also be a problem converting all the various text and graphic elements from the old format to the new one. 

 

One of my business clients recently ran into that problem with a full site update to the newer blog formats / templates that don't offer the same degree of control over individual page layouts as fully customized web sites. The new systems tend to favor overall simplicity for content management, user navigation links, forms, etc. 

 

While this saves a lot of time for coordinating and implementing ongoing updates, it also forces some tricky compromises that people are still trying to work around. 

 

Cheers, Terry
