The new HBGames Archive Board

[DerVVulfman]

Nope.

Today, I uploaded nineteen more... THREADS out of twenty.

By Threads, I must state that one of the supposed completed games within the HBGames forum was not a single game, but a ridiculous community project where one game would be followed by another and another. The title of the game in the download section didn't even relay it was a community project, only by go into the thread did it claim to be a trilogy. ... There were SEVEN GAMES! I grabbed all but the last which sadly vanished from existence.

Some games were extremely tricky to acquire, in a few cases the original authors no longer having their games at their websites. Only sheer luck prevailed in acquiring and saving a fair number of these, one that even received awards in the Misao awards if memory recalls.

But I stated that I uploaded nineteen of twenty threads. One game entitled "The Legacy of Zagolth" by Freebird Games no longer exists. Part of the Children of Gods series, I could not find a trace of its existence except two scant articles, and articles alone.

Two more days have passed, and since then I added twenty-seven more games from HBGames' Completed Projects board.

FUNNY MEME

This is the most horrifyingly accurate thing I've seen on here since the moon thief propoganda. (Don't ask.)

Nope.

  I really appreciate all the work (I've used at least one of the scripts you've archived recently!) But...good lord, please take care of yourself a bit more, haha.

Today, I uploaded another batch of seventeen games from HBGames. However, not all games can be downloaded, and one may be questionable to try due to changes in technology.

Of the two games I posted that cannot be downloaded, they can can be played... online. They were actually made with Flash player in mind and the sites hosting them still exist. So for now, those two flash games can be played. However a third game that offers a download link also states you need flashplayer, when has been discontinued over security concerns since 2022.

But that leaves fourteen games that should not have any issues, whether they be RPGMaker 2003 (aka RM2K3) or newer in design.

One game I was unable to acquire was entitled 'To Arms!', and was by Max McGee. This individual also went by the name Stormcrow and Legion. And while I did find Legion's Itch page, he laments that the site he hosted many of his games folded, and To Arms is not within his Itch page.

Today, sixteen more games have been uploaded out of twenty. There were again some games that could not be salvaged, the first being Ellipsus by Pokemaniac, and the second being Bleach: Aizen's Deception by titogod. Of the other two, we had postings for both One Night: Full Circle by Dark Gaia and Cell Chamber by Calibre. However, Cell Chamber could not be saved as indeed in our "The Lost Ones" subfolder of Completed Games, its links far deceased.

However, we now have Belle, a psychological horror game that was part of the Indie Game Challenge 2011, Complete Chaos, one of a series by Gates Independent, and more.

Meanwhile,I can safely say that I am 80% through with the completed projects held by HBGames under their final arpgmaker url.

Another day passes, and another batch of eighteen games have been saved, either their original games restored or their itch pages re-discovered. Adventures, horror, romance, and even tamogachi, many a game both complex or quick have been added to the Completed Projects forum in the HBGames archive.

There were two games that could not be saved. One was entitled "Ocean's Dream" by Caz, it an entry within RPGMaker Net'x 2015 contest Bash. The second was "Night Shift" by Iron Brew. You may find the Itch page he made for the game, but the download link in the page for it and previous versions no longer exists.

Of the games remaining to acquire from the aarpgmaker url used by HBGames, I have but ONE PAGE LEFT!
