By its final days, the site had an impressive 79 games with full reviews and 5 screenshots each along with cheat codes and manuals. I had learned ASP, modified Neo's template, bought the domain and unleashed the website. I had contacted NeoPickaze being a big fan of EchoRing and asked him if he could help me out with a layout for EmuGateway, he had previously made a layout for WizardWare V2.0 (back in 01) but I decided not to go through with it. I was stunned by their quality and the fact that the system was abandoned and so little known. Through some Streamload message boards I was sent 89 Neo-Geo roms. He let me keep the name "EmuGateway" which he thought up for a site that never took off. I wanted to create a 4 to 5 star site, not a 2 star site I realized that I must do it myself if I will ever become trully dedicated to the siteīoboSama: Diskboy had unleashed Diskworld V4 when I had closed WizardWare. The reviews were short, the screenshots few, it received poor ratings and I was infuriated. Diskworld had just unleashed V3 and I payed Diskboy to create me a php coded site, we came up with the name wizardware and I bought the domain so, the site known as WizardWare AbandonWare came to be. It was this site that joined 4Ham and Diskworld initially (I hadn't joined any rings yet) Then I had come to realize the importance of screenshots and reviews for creating a quality site. At first, I wanted to create a site with thousands of games, I also wanted something that nobody had done so I spent a few weeks downloading thousands of Apple IIe ROMS testing them, zipping them and started a site known as Anime-Crib Apple IIe Abandonware it was purely HTML based with a layout consisiting of some frames and a single background image I had over 2000 titles with nothing but file sizes, publisher names and download links. He told me that my site had OldWarez and from there I found out all about clean Abandonware. I ran an Abandonware site in early 99 and had a year left on the domain so I used itīoboSama: The site lasted for about two weeks and I had contacted Diskboy to affiliate with him. However, I was still an OldWarez fella and began a site known as Anime-Crib Abandonware. From there I spanned off to find sites such as Classic Trash and the Home of the Underdogs. I found the design and content to be of the highest quality. One of their affiliates was a site known as 3k Industries so I clicked on the link and was redirected to DiskworldīoboSama: Diskworld was a pure Abandonware site, it was currently at version 2.0. I had visited the site for about a year thinking it was godly when one day an announcement was posted that the site had closed. How did you discover abandonware? And how did you first get involved with it?īoboSama: Back in 98 or 99 I had discovered a site known as OldNet which featured a mixture of Abandonware and OldWarez such as Discworld, Doom, etc.
