It is kind of exclusive though. Not many people are ever going to find out about those games.

'Aliewarez'

Woah.

I disagree, many people will be visiting the site, recieving the newsletter, and downloading those games-- probaly well over ten times as many as all those who post on the forums and comment in the IRC.

The Alienware games come from a different server, but viewing the showcase entries etc will hit this place.

Pincho - "It is kind of exclusive though. Not many people are ever going to find out about those games."

Maybe if they're blind. Otherwise it's pretty obvious as they exist in the showcase and will have their own dedicated page when I return (other than the newsletter).

Cheers,

I'm not talking about DB users, I'm talking about the general public. When you type 'Free Games' in your browser, you don't get sent to the showcase. DB is kinda hard to discover. I was an Amos programmer for years, but I accidently found DB because of an ad in a paper. We need a DB site that falls into the browser as free game downloads.

I second that, I only found it because I bought "Cossaks - European wars", the german version was from CDV. And CDV publishes DarkBASIC in German ... so I found it in the booklet.
I was interested, because I was into QBASIC and only knew VB as sequel to it ... so I simply typed www.darkbasic.com and saw what it was.
