Replying to Fig Hunter

well yeah, but most sites try to fight this (mostly by requiring correct referrals, which is trivially circumvented), where as the fig hunter guy offers you to download the games, it's a nice gesture.

AR always contacts the maker I think. But first it should be decided if the game qualifies, otherwise it's pointless to contact him only to let him down afterwards.

well if makers wanted the games to be distributed separately, there's a single button for exporting whole swf into exe

contacting the maker wouldn't hurt would it

Actually you can download any flash game I think. Just open the web page's source code, look for the file with a .swf extension, copy and paste its URL (if it's relative just figure its whole path out) to your browser's address bar, and when it's loaded go to file > save as... H4X!!

AR already has games for Java (well at least one, I reviewed it), so I guess the platform needn't be the issue. So I guess the main issue that could disqualify games would be if they're too short, and this doesn't seem the case... Still up for discussion though I guess.

Pseudolonewolf is a maker of freeware games in Adobe Flash. Make no mistake they are not coffee-break-minigames, but real long quality games... just made in Flash (in my defense- you can download them to your computer). My favorite (offcourse) is his most famous RPG series called Mardek, which is (well the second chapter out of the 2 released) on par with any RPGM2K game we have on site, both in length and in quality (the games posses some degree of charm that is in fact not usually found in those games, plus I'm tired of seeing the same backgrounds in a 10th game in a row...). His other game which I played (Deliverance, yet another RPG, and Raider, an action-adventure (you know, like flashback, Bermuda Syndrome, that sort of thing)) are labeled as "demos", but fear not, I put a dozen hours into each, and didn't get to the end (this does not mean that the games were bad- they were awesome- it's just how I play games). Even if we are not going to feature them on site, I urge you to try them.
