I've looked around a bit over that past year, but I have YET to play the much acclaimed game Alpha 7! The downloads don't work on the site.
Could someone please provide this game for download?
Thanks (I'm dying to see what game quality I'm competing against  ). |

That's better than nothing. Perhaps you could add it to the site's file list, though a bit unaccompanied. If you don't mind, of course.
Thanks.

Hey guys, sorry about not replying to your email, I read it but then forgot about it. Heh, things are just really crazy with school during the year, engineering physics is not something you breeze through lol.
The problem is I would have to find the original file, since the x-mas contest I've had so many hard drive failures and reformats it isn't even funny. I think I have the x-mas version on a cd somewhere, but I restarted work on the game and we were planning to release it relatively soon, even made a news post about it. I was working on the 3rd and 4th missions, then boom, windows xp loses the disk volume or the partition table got corrupted, something along those lines, weeks of work is just lost.
Anyways, I would need a place to host it. I think Eric will get mad if I put it up on his servers since the file is 11 mb and its a big drain on the bandwidth. Any suggestions?

Awesome to hear from you! I know where you're coming from. College isn't easy...a lot of the time.
I have a free-bee site that I could host it at, and no one would care if I used up the band-width (considering I get like 2 hits a month, and they're both mine ). I could merely hold the file and this site could link to it or something. Soon, I'm planning on getting a REAL server, from which I would most likely be able to host it easily. |

| I have 50 MB (none used) on the gamedev server, along with unlimited bandwidth if you want to stick it there... |

| I don't care if you host the file on this server. What I don't like is websites that leech the file, or somehow make it appear that you're downloading the file from their server when you're really not, and then make no mention of the hosting website. Those websites have really bad manners, therefore I fart in their general direction. |

Actually I did create a script.  If you look at the Files page you'll notice that there are no longer any direct links to the files. I've also changed it so that only vbgamer members can download the files. Here is an image of vbgamer's bandwidth for 2004. Notice the drop in bandwidth? :-)
