Has anyone ever made a good list of door games that have been released as freeware? Either the author released a key generator or a set of generic keys. I recently found a key generator for the GAC games. If you find someone who has the files off BBSFiles.com, a lot of them have generic keys to unlock the features. I was thinking of making a list and didn't want to recreate someone elses work.

Nope, I do not believe someone made a list.
For several years I had a bbstorrents site and people grabbed registered games and other files from it.

Are you just going to make a list or do a file site?

Is the content of all of this archived somewhere? I've been trying to run down some door registrations lately and haven't had much luck.

lots of people have it. you had it.
poindexter download it like 4x. i have no idea why he downloaded 120+ gigs 4x but he did.

if you can't find a door registration there probably isn't one.

For bbstorrents' registered games i just did my registered games and datastreams, and dcp.

it wasnt really a bbs warez pack. it was just bbs related files.

Gotcha, yeah, think you're right, I do have it. So some games will live on in shareware mode, oh well :)

i uploaded bbsfiles.com's files to vert.synchro.net and the sysop made a file area. also some guys have put the files on their websites. one guy tried to be the new bbsfiles.com but he lost enthusiasm, i think.

bbsfiles doug kept a lot of the cracks and keygens to himself and they are gone forever. he did not recepricate to the people that provided him keys and codes like he promised to.

Sounds like I have a task at hand then. I have found many that were released with a key generator and others just released as freeware. And yet other games have had key generators created for them. It's going to take a while though. I figure out how I want to put them up for download, either on my BBS or website.

Yep! I'm actually compiling a list of all my games and their current status - version, cracked, registered, unregged, crippled, has igms, etc. Kind of a fun exercise, for someone masochistic like me. I'm looking for regs for the unregged games (also cracks) and it's becoming tougher to find things I think...seems like a lot of these types of things are disappearing from search engines. Oh well.

PC doorgames, if I understand you correctly. I mean, I /do/ intend to host some other OS/BBS games (I.e., Atari games, Amiga games, etc) but haven't gotten that far yet.

if you really want to do something i'd get a list of games to crack and hire someone who can crack them.

some of them will be packed and gave code stipped out so you might not be able to unpack them.

Depends on if you want to drive traffic to your BBS or not. :P

If it was me, I'd just create a separate file area for free door game archives.

Sorry to hear about Doug, but if someone needs a registered copy of VGA Planets, I have one. Just need to make sure that it's in my file section.
