View topic - OHR Arcade

There's a bunch of discussion in the OHR blog thread which is getting too long, so I'm copy pasting this comment here. But maybe you should start a new thread because this one has lots of irrelevant stuff in it too (which I haven't bother rereading).

I'd like to form a backup archive of all released OHR games that haven't yet disappeared into the bit bucket. Old games which you can't find on CP or SS still get occasionally referenced, but might be sitting on someone's harddisk. I would only provide download links for games which aren't available anywhere else. Someone hosting your game/program without permission is really frustrating when you release an update.

However, a database of articles would be far far more useful to have than a games database. For a long time, I've been meaning to replicate THW's list of articles on the wik. Also, a reviews database! Reviews of OHR games are spread out across a dozen gamelists, webzines and forum threads, and there's currently zero cross-referencing. Terribly fragmented. So we're calling this effort OHR Arcade? OK, we already have a good name then.

I'll be eager to help with collecting stuff, but I can't make websites. Maybe you could host it either here or on CP, at least at first. CP hosts lots of other sites, has a good track record for not disappearing off the planet, and already hosts nearly all existing OHR games anyway.
