Re: Any way to play the VIP gameszone games for free?

Nidza07: You're right, but we also tried. I really need to look into what doing a full backup does - i.e. does it backup the site, forum, sql databases for it all, or just the site database. The next best thing to contacting the webmasters is flat-out relocating, but we cn't relocate and not take this site's 20 year legacy with us, that isn't an option. You have to admit, even though this site is kind of falling apart, it as an independent site has lasted longer than any of your run of the mill social media sites that think they're still soldiering on now.

Re: Any way to play the VIP gameszone games for free?

Seeing how we worry so much about this site having great mainstream representation, maybe, as hard as we are debating Crazy party, we should be trying to contact the webmasters? Because I don't know, seeing a database error upon inserting an emoji, if I was a mainstream developer would probably make me go WTF? Are we in 2005? Then going to my private messages, and clicking the new link at the top to go back to the new topics list and seeing: Sorry! The page could not be loaded.Page Not found (Error 404):The requested page pun_pm/search.php could not be found.Probably a lot easier to notice than one audiogame having some mainstream sounds, but what do I know.When it comes to abandoned titles, it should be fairly simple. If a game relies on online activation, and even the customers who previously bought the game can't register it, we declare it as abandoned and the distribution is allowed. If, at any point the developer comes back and complains, his requests should be accepted and the game should no longer be distributed, provided the developer can explain the downtime and bring the activation servers back up. I don't see any potential legal issues here, you aren't going against the developer and will accept his takedown requests if there are any. What you could possibly do is write some kind of disclaimer in the rules clarifying this, that the games are distributed only due to the belief that they are abandoned, and if a developer doesn't want his games distributed they can contact the moderation team. Games by VIP gameszone are effectively unusable now, whether online or offline, purchased or demo, you can't do anything because they relied on online servers so much. Thankfully, I don't think you will have to worry about this very often, because games nowadays at least allow registrations offline. I also don't know of any demo that forced you  to go online to register it.

@defender, those are good points.However, the community is small. They had a choice when the site went down.I'm sure it would have been acceptable if they had just come out and said "there's nothing I can do, sorry".At least we would have known what had happened.Now as was said previously, there is deffenately a way to play the fully registered games. They've been down long enough, nobody has been able to contact them and we can't even use our registration keys.I think this should count for Rale Racer as well, but the BA card room is still up though no reply about rale racer.Plus RR is our only fully-fledged racing game, and probably the only one we're going to have for a long, long time.

Re: Any way to play the VIP gameszone games for free?

I think we should host the games, but honor any formal, verifiable requests to take down or otherwise stop distributing them. If the developer surfaces to ask that the games get taken down, that would also give those of us who purchased the games a chance to ask him to provide us a legitimate method to continue playing them.

Re: Any way to play the VIP gameszone games for free?

God points 60 and 61, this is what is keeping us from just saying screw it and allowing distribution - even though they probably don't have the resources to take anyone to court over it, the law is still the law. I think the thing we need to remember here that doesn't necessarily make us special, but is something to consider, is the fact that there are no publishing agencies here. There is only an individual entity. So is the company closing its doors necessarily by choice? Most likely not, but was it a choice to screw over customers who had actually bought the game by basically vanishing? Absolutely. By not implementing a contingency plan, they had, whether directly or otherwise, choose to slam the door on the ass of customers who had bought the game should the need to close operations arise.I'm tempted to just say let's just toss the damn games, but audiogames games are not disposable and these games weren't all that bad.

Re: Any way to play the VIP gameszone games for free?

Just gonna chime in here and point to AlterIWNet, a COD alternative server, being cent a C  letter by a law firm on behalf of Activision. EA has, as Defender says, a history of pulling down servers without a care in the world. Even abandonware (which btw is a legal gray area, I can think up a handful of software companies who actually asked sites to take down their stuff) hasn't been ruled legal or illegal, but in the vast majority of cases is a cracked downnload anyow for DOS games, or a .iso file.There's whole communities dedicated to abandonware, but the thing people forget is someone, somewhere, owns the rights to the software. Even if the company went out of business, whoever signed the contract may still very well own the rights for that software, or people. So no, I'm agreeing with Defender on this one. Hell, I've been banned from other forums for asking for things I didn't even know were pirated content and didn't even gett a warning, just a straight up get out of our forum response.

Re: Any way to play the VIP gameszone games for free?

Servers for old mainstream games go down all the time, and most of them don't have user hosting options.Sure it sucks, but most legitimate mainstream gaming websites still don't allow piracy of any kind.So I'm not really sure what makes us special?There is no question that They did a shitty thing by not making it possible for us to play after the company closed it's doors, and maybe they had some decent reasons for it or maybe they didn't, but that doesn't change anything legally.

The's a little hard to do on a decentralized server approach without account crossbridging. Were that to be coded in, it would have to be local.

What about that system that would allow you to edit your aircrafts capacities similar to zero site?This system had you log in to some website/server where you could update the info using some points or other currency, I can't really remember.

A lot of the offline game was finished, but not yet stable. MOst of what needed to be done was the online game and server-side code, seeing as the free-for-all game was implemented at time of preorders as an incentive.

@Jack, I agree with you completely.I remember when TDV2 was being developed.I played the demo in 2014, and I really wanted to buy the game.When Munawar made the game open source, I was nervous.I thought he hadn't finished the game yet.When I downloaded it, I was proved wrong.Not only that, he also added the working multi player mode as well as finishing the story.

@dardar: The whole you should've bought it when it was around argument is busted in this case. Because those who did! buy it are now just as screwed as those who didn't. I do remember their shoppingcart was starting to fall apart at at some point before it went down anyway.Munawar is absolutely right, and he is defintiely qualified in this considering he has developed games as a fully registered llc (that's not to say you're immediately unqualified in this), but having released several commercial games that does mean that when he talks about doing right by his customers, that is exactly what he did by open sourcing all his games. That's not to say that open sourcing is the only way to do right by one's customers (it's no small effort after all and assets can make that difficult), but Dan Zingaro released patches, Jason released the key generator, Justin gave permission for us to host BSC's titles along with the key generator. VIPGameszone has not only disappeared their titles, but they have allowed existing customers to get screwed over by an always-online registration system.Yes, a developer does put time and effort into the games, but that does not mean that they are immunt to executive decisions being made for the good of the community (community failure for shady develpers, as it were).

Re: Any way to play the VIP gameszone games for free?

@49, I respectfully disagree.Yes these rules need to be set out, but what happends when someone was too young to play these games?In the case of vip, You could only register on 3 computers I believe, and even if I still had my key it wouldn't be usable now.I think another good example would be rale racer.As for damage, I think that what the developer did by not only not selling their games, but also rendering lisence keys invalid would cause a lot more damage for them than it would for the archive.Their argument would be considered null and void, simply because they didn't think to let anyone know that they would be disappearing from the face of the net.In the case of vip, I highly doubt they will be coming back any time soon, and as for RR, I don't think he gives a shit about his game.If he did, he would try to at least give people the ability to purchase, and if not that he would allow you to at least register your copy with the key that you bought.If none of those were possible, he should at least say that he isn't able to do anything about it.Just my opinion.

Re: Any way to play the VIP gameszone games for free?

Hi, so I wanted to put my two bucks worth in for the sake of it and all.Vipgamezone is an interesting case because in my mind I always think, okay you purchase a licence you have purchased for a single registration of that product for lifetime use without condition. That being said though it's interesting that if you have registered the game, you still can not play it. That rubs me the wrong way slightly.Is VipGameZone's old website available on the wayback machine? I'm actually not familiar enough with it to figure out how to use it, which is sad!Overall though I do think that the rules set up above must clearly be set out.This article sets out some interesting details on abandonwear:https://bit-tech.net/reviews/gaming/pc/abandonware-the-ethics-and-essentials/1/#:~:text=Firstly%2C%20a%20game%20can%20be,of%20Lucasarts'%20first%20graphical%20adventures.In short though:1. Pick a period where the game creator is no longer supporting or distributing the game (I suggest 5 to 10 years).2. In order to be abandonwear, the company's website must be down, (for period), the registration and licence details must not be renewable or purchaseable (for period).3. The developer can not be reached through any reasonable means *attempts up to 3 months of effort).GMA for instance would not be classed under abandonwear as their website is still available, and keys are still obtainable (go lone wolf!)This is a very, very very serious matter as while I respect the fact people want to archive games for everyone and that our community is small and classic games are no longer available, I am also extremely extremely aware that whether you like it or not, these are game works that people put a lot of hard, time and effort into it. Making that game free when it was not could cause untold damage in the long term to the confidence, desire and mood of the developer. Sure, you'd argue well if they want their stuff secure then stay supported, but I'm going to use the same argument: If you wanted the game, you should have bought it when it was available.Now, I'm not in any way saying don't archive it, I'm simply wanting to make sure that clear, clear guidelines are set out here and that the archive is painfully aware how much damage this can do to developers if a mistake is made. Archiving is good as it preserves old beauties, but it is also bad because without those old beauties, would people be motivated to make newer, supported and better games? Who knows.

I also purchased many of their games over the years. I'm in favor of the stance that if the registration server is down and even legitimate customers cannot play, they should be considered abandoned and free unless they explicitly come to us and state otherwise.

The fact that the website's belonged to some other entity entirely for nearly 3 years, the registration server has plain disappeared to the point where even registered users are unable to play the games, and there is no active method of contact, I do wonder if this is enough to blacklist the games until such time that tehy show a sign of activity.

Re: Any way to play the VIP gameszone games for free?

@Rtd, I would lend you my chocolate time machine, accept that it's out of chocolate. I have no idea how, the chocolate just mysteriously disappeared, one minute it was there, the next it was gone! I suspect time travel might be involved somewhere .To be serious for a second, whilst I was administrator, the policy such as it was, was basically that people couldn't' pass cracks of the bavisoft games around on the forum, but wouldn't be penalised for asking for them either. At that point though, things were a lot more relaxed as regards the copywrite issue, and we hadn't had any of the cloned code debacle, so it was easier to sort of just bend the rules, rather than try and make specific new rules. I personally love the idea of the games being hosted for all the reasons Munawar outlined above, and because yes, I would actually like to play the games I paid for myself.Indeed, I will admit to having the Bavisoft cracks , simply because it's easier than hunting out the old cds, though again, a very disappointing fifty bucks worth methinks.I would personally suggest that a very strict ruling needs to be put in place as regards firstly how long the developer's website has been off the internet, secondly details that every effort has been made to contact the developers in question, and thirdly and most obviously, a cast iron rule that one word from the actual developers and everything could be taken down at a moment's notice. So, even developers who are at the moment less than activesuch as code factory would have their past work protected, but those cases where devs have literally sunk without a trace, their work won't be lost entirely. just a shame the same can't be done for Ios and games like the somethinelse titles, but Apple are nice like that .

Indeed. I think it's for this reason alone we should at least consider allowing distribution on-sight for this developer specifically, because this is a matter of licenses being taken out from underneath paying customers - this is MSN Music all over again.

Re: Any way to play the VIP gameszone games for free?

Jason from XLStudios also provided the keygen to his games when he decided to quit developing. So there's precedent here. Ultimately customers should get what they paid for, which is the final product. You have at least that much commitment to people who gave you their money.Even if that means releasing your games for free or as open-source. At least then you've done good by your paid customers from whom you profited. This practice of just disappearing with many peoples' money is stealing.I understand some of it can't be controlled, but a lot of these devs made a decision to quit; it wasn't brought about by sudden death or illness.

Yeah that's true.i managed to get my hands on the games in 2011 or 2012, not through buying but they were hosted on a server at that time and because they were not sold anymore, I decided to snag them and be done with it.In retrospect, they were not even that good. Compared with todays standard of audiogames, which isn't really impressive, but even this makes the games look quite cheap, maybe games where I would put 20 bucks on the table for both.Greetings Moritz.

Re: Any way to play the VIP gameszone games for free?

@Simba: Confusingly, in 2009 they came on and asked everyone to take down copies of their games that were being shared. While still providing subpar sales and support in the process. Then, in 2011 a few posers, supposedly, had tried to represent the company. Since then, it's site has been taken down by its dns and has remained down for years. And the games have apparently now surfaced on the internet archive.I feel like the fact that they're up on the internet archive is a good point in which the topic of distribution of these games can be brought up again.

@RTTEntertainment: You know, that's actually  agood question, I don't know if there is an official exception in place for the Bavisoft games, though there's certainly been long enough inactivity on their part that it probably wouldn't be too risky. NOw that they've been pretty much immortalized by the internet archive, we should probably officially decide what to do with games from developers that have pretty much proven themselves to be gone from the net, and by that I mean actually proven themselves gone, this absolutely does not mean GMA, PCS, Draconis, and everyone else are going to be suddenly declared abandoned. I do want to make that abundantly clear before everyone starts going , yay, free games! Nope. It is due to piling evidence that we have our sights set of Vipgameszone significantly, since they are either not coming back, or if they do they will have a hell of a lot to answer for, and an onslaught of rightfully angry customers - of that, I can be sure.This is especially true given the fact that the bar has been set in terms of finished devs and distribution, after all:1. BSC Games gave us permission to host their work on agrachive.net2. Liam went above and beyond the call of duty to make Judgement Day preservable in full version form, to which we are grateful.3. Munawar did the same for Treasure Hunt.So VIPGamesZone doesn't have much of an excuse - and in the unlikely event they lost the sourcecoe, then the least they could do if they ever came back was to either keep working on games if they want, or just allow them to be patched.

Re: Any way to play the VIP gameszone games for free?

As I was born in 2003, I never got to play many of the clasic audio games when they were released.Thanks to a great friend, I managed to beat both grisly gulch and chillingham in 2015. She managed to get both games for me.Speaking of, I'd like to play GG again. Does anyone have it?I lost the file.The reason I'm asking for this is that I believe that the mod team made an acception for these games. Is this correct?If not, please feel free to edit and let me know.I would have loved to play private detective school as well as it was the only code factory game that allowed you to actually walk around in 3D, but I can't remember weather it was released after time adventures or not.I really wish I was around to play those games when they were released, but that won't happen now lol.@Dark, may I please borrow your chocolate time machine?

Re: Any way to play the VIP gameszone games for free?

Given Code Factory actually employed Starforce DRM (which actually has a nasty history of mutilating you cd drive's hardware drivers itself) I'd say they're a close second, only reason being that they had only deployed the disk drm in one game out of their many. VIPGameszone's obtrusive rm is present throughout damn near every commercial offering they got.

Re: Any way to play the VIP gameszone games for free?

I'd say the only similar case is Bavisoft, given their games were distributed only on Cd, and also were a very long way from being cheap, though obviously if someone who previously bought the Bavisoft games still has their Cds, even in digital form, at least they can still run them.

Moderation.@RTT entertainment: Just going to caution you for now, if you're going to be benefitting from copies of these games just remember to keep it off forum for now. there's a lot of evidence against Vipgameszone that suggests that it is dead (see the Whois lookup for some more) but we just haven't yet come to an agreement officially regarding distribution. iwe will, however, update this once we officially take a stance on the company, whatever that may end up being.

Re: Any way to play the VIP gameszone games for free?

FYI, all of their games do have cracks. I won't obviously share them due to rules, but if this company indeed can't be reached anymore, the games can definitely be played. Definitely no online play though. The archive is probably not willing to distribute  those for obvious reasons, but in case that ever changes you can contact me for the links. I didn't crack these games, I bought most of their sport games, and only used the crack after their servers went down to replay them recently.

Re: Any way to play the VIP gameszone games for free?

@RTTEntertainment: Not that simple, and at this point we really don't have a concrete distribution plan yet if at all.These keys used server-based activation, so no matter who's registering the game they're just, not going to work. The biggest reason right now for writing this company off is the fact that their registration server is totally, utterly and absolutely down, to the point where registered users cannot even use the licenses they paid for.

Hey Dark, I have an idea.Maybe, if you would be willing to send your purchase info to someone, they might be able to "register" the game, and then make an installer or use your keys to develop a patch for the games.I don't know how possible this would be given the fact that these games are over 14 years old, but if the dev doesn't respond it might be worth a try.

Re: Any way to play the VIP gameszone games for free?

I'd like to play Galaxy ranger and Lords of the galaxy again myself, I have fond memories of both as I said, as well as all my old purchase information and even copies of the setup files. It would also be nice to get x hour working, though imho that one was slightly less unique.Actually, since when I first bought the games in 2006, I was still living in college, whose wifi network wouldn't let me play online, I mostly just played the computer.  the Ai was rather pathetic and I got to slaughtering it on insane level of Galaxy ranger fairly quickly, but I had fun anyway . That was why I didn't'! buy super football, given that by the end of the three day demo, I'd already distroyed the computer 14 to 1 on hard difficulty .unfortunately, my xp desktop which I'd  had since 2008 went to wherever good computers go in 2016, and obviously by that point Vipgameszone and their server were long gone.

Re: Any way to play the VIP gameszone games for free?

@Simba re: Lords of the Galaxy. I see. We would have to look into that. I did have a copy of Galaxy Ranger 1.0 at the time, but even that one you had to register. So if yours runs without registering that would have had to be them doing what APH usually does with their cd distribution, i.e. not requiring a disk.I'm honestly not sure how we can approach this one. The Bavisoft games for example, have aparently made their way into the Internet Archive where anything preserved is pretty much future-proof there. The entity who uploaded them identifies themselves as Bavisoft, though whether or not they actually are is certainly up for question. The disks have apparently been up since 2015 and there have been no complaints or takedown requests. So if the site is down, the team is totally unable to be contacted, and yet they've made their way on to the internet archive, I'm wondering what that means in terms of distribution. Baring in mind the fact that this grayarea is reserved for games that have an obvious status of being out of print/circulation, which Bavisoft and VIPGameszone certainly fall under that category. When it gets to the point where even legitimate users are impacted by game breakage due to the registration drm, that could be evidence to counteract any potential complaints if they even were to come our way. It's something I'll have to talk to the rest of the AGARchive team about.

since according to the setup file I still have, lords of the galaxy was on 3.0, I'm not sure how much behind 1.0 would be, but still if it was possible to play, I'd love to see the game again as it did some pretty unique things and had a great sound scape. Actually, while I wasn't as keen on their sports titles, I did enjoy their other games, Galaxy ranger was not only a strategy at a time when audio strategy games were at a minimum, but also had a rather fun mix of arcade action and map exploration, whilst X hour had a few interesting little minigames throne in. I never actually finished that one, though I did make it to episode 3 I remember.

However if the game runs as a registered copy, being as it was a cd distribution, then we sadly wouldn't be able to host it.

Philip did do beta testing for Super Tennis, but I highly doubt anyone has personal contact details for these folks - Justin Daubenmire might, considering he was the only developer Igor actually collaborated with full-time as a programmer for HUnter, but although I was able to get his permission to host the games, I doubt he will be able to do anything regarding VIPGameszone titles. He was never able to make arrangements for 15 numbers to be included in the closing deal or the unlock code generator anyway.

Re: Any way to play the VIP gameszone games for free?

I tried tracking either Igor or Alina last year after the site went down, and unfortunately didn't have any luck. Yahoo killed the groups feature last year, and all of their Emails were on their domain. I tried looking for any social media presence, but apart from some never used Google plus profiles with no way to contact them I again had no luck there and now gPlus is also gone all together

Re: Any way to play the VIP gameszone games for free?

Sadly no. I did once play a game of lords of the galaxy with him, but nothing since then, and that was arranged via the old yahoo groups list which is now inactive, indeed I suspect all of vipgameszone's old contact details are no longer valid given that the domain and website seems to be owned by some dodgy online  casino.

Re: Any way to play the VIP gameszone games for free?

Galaxy ranger was one of the first of their games I bought in 2006, not to mention x hour (which I did the audio review of), and later, lords of the galaxy. I also have all of the keys backed up, and even the original installers, but no way to play them. there used to be a yahoo groups mailing list for lords of the galaxy and for vip gameszone, but last I checked, both were down. This is a shame, since their games did some really interesting things.

Yup, bought a couple of their titles as well, but looks like there's no dice.

Re: Any way to play the VIP gameszone games for free?

Well, I bought super football in 2015. While it wasn't a great game, it's a petty that it's not playabble.Does anybody have contact details for the dev?I really want to play lords of the galaxy and galaxy ranger.If the dev can't give us the full version but aggrees that it should be free, can we not use a crack with his permission.

Re: Any way to play the VIP gameszone games for free?

Hi,I knoiw your pain as someone who bought xHour. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any way, and to make things worse, even that 3-day trial required internet activation making 90% of all their games, with the exception of super Tennis, xHour and the free titles completely unplayable.
