GameMaker Classics: 2nd Terror Protocol
« on: September 13, 2012, 04:25:14 PM »
A while ago, I said that I was going to make a huge online database of all of the old GM games that were ever made.  To be honest with you, this is one of those things that I really want to do, but it's probably never going to happen.  It's just too much work, and there doesn't seem to be very much interest.  The next best thing that I can do is to upload any of the old classics which are currently missing from the GMG archive, so that they can be saved for posterity.  If you guys are interested, I'll upload more.  If not, that's OK, I won't bother.

This is 2nd Terror Protocol, the sequel to Space Can Suck!.  It's a very well-made adventure game with beautiful 3D rendered graphics.  You'll need to carbonize the game with Mike's GM Carbonizer in order to play it on OS X.  Alternatively, you can use an emulator to run the game on a classic Mac OS.  The description from the AOL library is as follows:

I'm sure Gan and I can throw together a database like what you describe.  It's just a little hard to get started on those kind of things.  Easier to make posts about it. 

(Sorry Gan if it looks like I'm volunteering you for stuff!  It only looks that way because I am!)

I could probably set up a wiki page hosted on the GMG and give you guys edit-ability. That way you could just paste something like:

If all the submissions follow a template with these kinds of categories (Subject Author Keywords) it will be real nice and organized.

The project would be MUCH more feasible if I could just copy-paste the descriptions into a wiki.  If I did 10 games every day, I could have it done in a couple months.

Making a database of the once popular old games is something I always wanted to do, but never had the time to do it. I have a slow connection (1.5mb DSL) so it would take me a while.

Last Result:
Download Speed: 1413 kbps (176.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 712 kbps (89 KB/sec transfer rate)

There are 674 GM games on AOL, and I want to preserve all of them.  Unfortunately, many of them are missing from the GMG archive, and it's hard to tell which ones because the filenames aren't always descriptive.  It seems like the easiest and safest thing to do is to completely start over.
