ibiblio.org mirror down (CDJ, Revenger, NDrift effected)

Post by RetroRomper »

Robb,

The ibiblio.org download links for CDJ and Revenger redirect to "404" pages, as does the ibiblio mirror "Download Site #1" for Ndrift.

"404 FILE NOT FOUND
Auê! (oops!) The page you are looking for has been moved or is no longer on www.ibiblio.org."

Looks like the correct link should be:
http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/interactive- ... rm/chix.z5

And so on.

Download link for Pantomime is also broken, by the way.

And I figured they just changed their directory structure, though I didn't take the time to find the correct links.

While on the topic of mirrors, the CZK torrent at the Pirate Bay, (https://thepiratebay.se/torrent/6685534) is currently being kept alive by a single person. I'm downloading it now and will keep it relevant, but if anyone else cares to seed the game, I'm sure it will be appreciated.

Thank you, Retro. Thank you, Roody.

I *think* I have everything fixed now.

This page:

http://www.joltcountry.com/index.php/ro ... _videogame

Should bring up links to the individual pages of my games there, and I tried to ensure that the download links are working for all of them. I'm sure I missed one (I bet there is a 404 there, or I bet that one game has the download link to some other game) so I am going to doublecheck everything.

But it should be OK. Thanks for starting this thread, RR -- it's embarrassing that I had so many broken links when people might be coming here in order to see some of my previous unwelcome and unfit contributions to the genre.

Chicks Dig Jerks should be playable in-browser if you have Java installed. I was gonna do the same for Revenger, but I totally envision a potential player going to the web site, playing those two games and then going "welp" and setting their hard disk on fire.

A few more errors...

Fallacy of Dawn:

Textfiles.com link to the trailer leads to a "404" page.

Alternative Trailer Links...
-Youtube link:
-TwitC link: http://twitc.com/PfT4gtpup

Necrotic Drift:

The Home of the Underdogs review link, directs to an incorrect server address.
-Corrected address: http://homeoftheunderdogs.net/game.php?id=4968

Pantomime:

"Download" link at the top still directs to the uncorrected ibiblio.org address. A duplicate link below the first paragraph, leads to the correct location.

All other links and mirrors appear to be fine.

Thanks. I corrected them a little while ago. I think the links are now all OK! Man do we really need a web-based Hugo interpreter, though.
