If you encounter any problems with any of these links, or if you have a
classic software page of your own or know of one I don't have listed here,
please let me know.
I am only looking for pages about software collecting or commercially
released adventure games, preferably from a historical perspective.
Nothing about freeware or shareware, pirate/abandonware download sites,
or writing text games, please.
