Maybe a community could be created for those here on the fediverse? Post propagation added to the ability of crossposting also allows some level of preservation, so the contents are preserved if the original links die.
...though for shared user-made campaigns, incentivizing the creator to preserve the files on Internet Archive, torrent / other P2P file sharing services, some form of ActivityPub protocol for file sharing if there is one, etc., may be recommended.
Holy-Frampen-wanken-winkles, does that take me back...! oO
Right, I remember... Stuart Smith, I think he was.
He also did the very cool, excellent "Ali-Baba" adventure.
Those were such FUN games, back in 8-bit days.
Back when we were little kids, haha. ❤️
The funny thing is I played it in the mid 2000s. We had a GameCube and a PS2, but a lot of the time I chose playing ACS or writing mad libs BASIC programs over Final Fantasy and Animal Crossing.
Damn, I underestimated your generation!
Yeah, Mad-libs are classic, beyond age & technology, right?
Oh, check this out-- I remembered yet another classic Stuart Smith adventure just now. It was called "Return of Heracles," set in Ancient Greece. IMO that, Rivers of Light and Ali-Baba were great because they were not just fun little rogue-like RPG's, but because they were also purely fascinating, containing loads of little historical facts. <3
