i don't disagree with him selling the games however if people buy off him then they must be stupid especially when the games have been available free for ages
if people want the games they may convert them on their own too its not hard to learn that little bit of flash to edit the games to work or even get a friend to do it
and loads of games are freely available on v3arcade.com which no doubt is probably one of the sources of bitg's archive

I wonder if you'll do games not available on the other sites

I think you shouldn't make money on someone else's work. If you decide to let customers pay for games, the gamedevelopers deserve more of a percentage then the one who sells them. The only "work" they have is searching for the games and bundling them into one package. The developers made those games, and I doubt it if the seller even has permission from the developers...

Anyway, I'm still wondering if someone has a fix for Yeti 7 ;).

That's wierd. I don't see the people wanting to use these games ask the developers for permission. Talk about a double standard!!! You have no idea what you are talking about.

True bitg!

As for the games, I know that 500 number Dream spoke of is probably accurate although I haven't sat down and counted all of them. Most reside on underground private sites of people who have converted them without permission from anyone. Don't bother doing a web search for them, they won't show up. Since I'm not a snitch, I won't be the one turning them in. Also because some have made it to my private arcade that I don't have connected to the web. This is to keep from getting sued over having them. I only play them for my own enjoyment.

V3Arcade is so limited on releases due to legalities, I rarely even go there anymore. I have contributed $$$ to John for the Arcade software out of respect for what he created. It just became too political for my taste with all the restrictions. Still, he is an awesome coder in my book and my negative views on the subject have nothing to do with him.

I have stopped selling access to my FTP site and will be providing access to all the games for free. I am doing this because Dechevious pissed me off.

Anyway, in respect to the people that have already paid for access, I will not be offering the games until the last of them have had their account expire.

These games will be listed at http://v3arcade.morehotdeals.com. When the games go live, you will not be able to get any game that has been officially banned on www.v3arcade.com. This list is as follows:
