Any archives of REALLY old OHR games?

I'm wondering if anyone has really old (as in pre-2000ish: Ends of the Earth, Warriors of Conway, Lolsidothaldremobine, Pain [I think there was a game called Pain?], some game with a smiley face hero named Sir Billiam I think, etc.) games stashed somewhere? I think Castle Paradox has some of the ones that ended up getting finished or updated, but a lot of the really obscure releases that were left in demo state don't seem to be there.

I'd love to drown myself in some adolescent nostalgia, since when I was like 13-15 I would play almost every single OHR game I could get ahold of and you gotta love that HOGEEZITOTALLYREMEMBERTHISTHINGFROMWHENIWASLITTLEBUTLIKEJUSTBARELY feeling when you run across something really old and obscure.

I don't know of any older collections than the ones listed here: http://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/Where_can_I_find_games%3F

I seem to remember that Metballsub was collecting old games, and so was somebody else... Pepsi Ranger maybe?

Pain definitely did exist. If anybody finds a copy, I would like to see it. I lost my copy many years ago in a hard drive crash, although I still have the one set of hero battle sprites, and the one backdrop I drew for it.

Sweet, thanks for the tip James! I found a working link for Antigone, which was in my shortlist of "hey I TOTALLY remember this game" games! I had completely forgotten the name of it until I saw it, then instantly remembered.

I miss Operation OHR. I know the games can probably be found elsewhere, but I really liked the layout. I hate when websites I visited as a kid go offline and I can't get my nostalgia buzz.

Merry Christmas!

Rinku's list (linked from that wiki page) is the oldest list of games still around. It's very hard to find other games released before 2000. That link to Bahamut RPG community is also pretty good for old games.

Quite a few games that are on Op:OHR have also been copied over to CP's main list.

Makes me wish I had known back then to submit my older stuff there, so I could look back on it now with Nostalgic contentment.

Oh well. I still have the memories.

"One can never improve enough nor should one stop trying to improve."

I'm not collecting them or anything, but I do have a bunch of them. I have a bad/good habit of never deleting anything I've played.

I may or may not have more on the other computer that I haven't powered on since 2005. I'm pretty sure I've ported everything of value and of reasonable storage size to my current computer way back when, but there are some games that I know I've downloaded at some point that I can never find. Chances are those are the ones I've deleted, and I only delete games that I don't want defiling the sanctity of my hard drive if they're that terrible.

Meatballsub has pretty much everything that I have and possibly more.

He doesn't come around here anymore, and I don't know if this even still applies, but Rinku was your go-to for all old, odd, and obscure OHR games once upon a time. If you can get a hold of him, he's your best chance at finding all the games you can no longer find.
