We are back!

September 27, 2004 by ST Graveyard

Hello everybody,

It seems we are finally back online. We still don't really know what has happened, but it seems that 2 weeks ago, a complaint had been filed against this website, for reasons still unknown to us. Our best guess would be the downloads. That's why the game downloads are not available (for the time being), till this matter is settled. From now on, we might only add those games for download, for which we have been given permission by the lawful owner. But we still need to figure it all out.

To everybody out there. It was never our intention to offend nor displease anybody with our content. We have been working on this site for years, and it has become a labor of love, a site for fanatics, by fanatics of this classic computer.

So please, if there are still people out there who disagree with the content, let us know, don't leave us in the dark. Contact us, use our [url=../contact/contact.php]Contact[/url] page. Or use the forum to let us know.

On a brighter note, now that we're back, we have some goodies for you guys in store. But it'll have to wait for now.

Again, sorry for a the trouble ... Sorry for the downtime.

Cheers
