I like the fact that you have a lot of no-install games. particularly
useful when a game doesn't work, or a game i get bored with, or you get the
idea. ;-)

Firstly... I want to add my voice to the others. It's a *very* nice
site, and I bookmarked it immediately. = Secondly, I'm impressed by
the number of racing games you have, as many freeware websites are poor
on that category. Thank you!

Thanks !!
That is a very good idea.
I also hate install games. I am thinking about adding some icons
("install","no-install","self-extract","1 file",etc) on each page. But that will
takes a long time before I can do that (I have to "reinstall" each game again).
Thanks for the good advice :-)

Hi David :-)
I can add more racing games at the site (and I will), but the majority of
these games are Japanese games. LZH files, Japanese installs, sometimes no
English at all ... and I am afraid that most gamers got problems with all
that strange stuff.

that and no install would make it an awesome site!
Archived from groups: alt.comp.freeware.games (More info?)
Thanks for the suggestions (you too Anne)
About the sorting by size:
The whole website is a html website without any database! (except a
database for the votings and download counters)
reason: The only database that our server can run is MS Access and
Access locked when there are too many users at the same time. Therefore
I should have to use a real database (as MS SQL, Interbase or so), but
at the moment my budget is too low to do that. :-(
At this manner it is very difficult to sort the game by size too. But I
found the happy medium: Tomorrow I will add a button "Top 30 smallest"
at the site. At this manner you got 10 pages, each 30 games, sorted by
size.
note: I am thinking about a brand new website, so I am collecting all
the suggestions for this one.

Hello Rudy,
I've been following all the posts about your site this week and know that
you are trying to improve upon it.
If you are trying to get to the 1K mark I know that I can point you to
download at least one and maybe a few more that are good and that you
don't have on your site. I haven't looked at your whole site yet and
when I dop I'll compare your list with what I've downloaded over the
years (FreeWare Only) What I've downloaded is much much smaller than the
number of games on you web site.

Hello Rudy,
In a day or two I'll have some links for you for games.

Thanks Mark :-)
About the non-games freeware:
At the moment I neglect my free utilities a bit. I am still dreaming to start a
big site for that stuff too, but the games takes so much time that I have no time
left for that. (In fact I am looking for someone who wish to maintain the free
utilities). In my humble a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. I mean that
I better fight for only one good and big site (free games) instead of splitting my
time and building 2 sites by halves. But forbearance is no acquittance, when I
find the time or find an enthusiast to maintain the site then I'll go for it.
