The Games Portal is Back and Improved!

After being removed for a year while I was getting my web site more organized. The portal is here to stay now. It's still free to submit your games with promotions available on the portal featured games page.

Submissions (once reviewed) will post in the portal. Listings are now pretty mainstream using your 80 char description and product icon linking to a web page on HsRetroGames containing your game screen shot & info. Including home page links etc.

HsRetroGames Home ->
http://www.HsRetroGames.Com/

The Games Portal ->
http://www.HsRetroGames.Com/gamesportal/portal_home.htm

Submit PADs here ->
http://www.HsRetroGames.Com/gamesportal/portal_submit.htm

Submissions must be completed Shareware or Freeware games, and a PAD file I can retrieve.

Hurrah! Hold on a sec, where are the games? Sorry I can't help as I don't have a game.

Do you host game files?
Does the game have to be made in Blitz?
Do you have to be the developer to submit a game?
Do I ask too many questions?

Your site shows up as red on mcaffe siteadvisor.
Just letting you know, and its because of links to alienpicks.com, whatever that is.

To markcw:

The first page of the portal is promotional; If you click on 'More Games >>' from that page you go here:
http://www.hsretrogames.com/gamesportal/portal_p1.htm

No, I do not host files.
No, games don't have to be made in blitz
No, you don't have to be the developer, but the developer should approve of having his software listed.
Na, your questions are ok.

To Cp:

Thats good to know. Alienpicks.com is a download site. I don't have a link to alienpicks.com any where on my site anymore, thats odd. What page had the warning? Or is it every page? Do the ads show up on my site in your browser? Sometimes they can cause warnings.

Any one else have problems like Cp visiting my site? Let me know.


Cp(Posted 2008) [#6]
every page, the site in general.


Chugs40(Posted 2008) [#7]
Thanks Cp - I'll llook into this.

Just to let everyone know. My site is fine check this link:
http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/hsretrogames.com/downloads/

That page obviously hasn't been updated in awile either.

I don't have a link to alienpicks besides that my site is clean and even if I did have such links it would'nt matter anyways unless you visit one of those sites or download something from one of them.

As far as the portal goes it links to the developer site for downloads, info etc. as most download sites do. The only concern there would be is if the developer sites themselves would be contaminated with something. It's mainly up to the user on what he/she decides to click on.

Also, I may have irritated some people in the past for removing the portal and for that I do appologize. I plan on keeping it around, it's more trouble to remove it now than to keep it. So don't be afraid to submit or promote a game. Thanks

If you have a BMT Micro Affiliate account you can feature your game on the Portal Featured Games page.

I have removed ALL links to red sites. Including links on my link partners page and H+Soft Arcade page. If any one has site advisor feel free to scan it now, my site should be green now.
