Thumbs up the DreamZone is Back !

...is that The Dream Zone is still operational and still holds the largest non-TOSEC collection of Amiga software in the world. Personally I don't like the idea of someone else telling me what the name of a particular adf image should be, so I have kept my own naming convention throughout the years. Take a look...

There's a blast from the past! I had no idea the site was still going, it's great to have you back m8, even though you apparently never went away

If I remember correctly, you had to request a subscription to dream zone years ago and your mail was never replied. Is that a smart thing to keep the archive inaccessible and therefore not entered to tosec all these years? I think this is pretty lame. An amiga adf archive's being non-tosec in 2004 is not a value by itself. But maybe the archive is already entered to tosec by someone else, which makes the effort even more useless and the "non tosec" description even more wrong.

That's the spirit Burseg!

I'm sure I've seen this site before but I haven't actually been in the amiga 'retro scene' for long now so I might be dreaming (no pun intended).

Keep up the good work MC, any decent source of amiga games is a worthy thing IMO.

On your games page you are requesting Leisure Suit Larry IV. Unless I`m on crack there was never a 4, it skipped from 3 to 5 for some bizarre reason.

It was their idea of a joke.

Might and Magic I does not exist on the Amiga either (and I think the same also applies to Ultima I).

I liked your web site. The start page music was cool too. Since most people use WinZip, you really should zip your files. Do not rar them. Just a friendly suggestion.

Did you create the music? If so, could you send me the music in wav format? I would like to include it in my upcoming movie about the history of video games. Your name will be in the credits.

Ultima I was released for the Atari ST, but not for the Amiga. This is one of the reasons why I own both Amiga and Atari ST computers.

This was waaaaaaaaaaay long ago.

This is the Dream Zone main URL:

http://3290961442/DreamZone/

I have added strong password protection to avoid unautorized access to my
site, so you will need this:

username: 1.4xxxxxxxx <--- edited
password: 1.7xxxxxxxx <--- edited

Both username and password will be changed from time to time, contact me
if your credentials no longer work.

And please remember my rules:

1) Time LIMITS to download: from 12:00 a.m. (midnight) to 3:00 p.m. GMT,
except on weekends (Saturday and Sunday).
2) No SIMULTANEOUS downloads allowed, to save bandwidth.
3) Do not share this info with anyone. In fact never mention the existence
of the Dream Zone.
4) Read again rules 1,2 and 3 (specially rule 1, the user/pass combo only
works within those limits)

I provide a high quality service and the only thing I ask in return from you
is to follow this simple rules and maybe upload something from time to
time...

Regards,


MainCore

The Dream Zone

PS: The Tripod pages are destroyed sometimes, so always use the main URL to
connect.

Yeah, I remember I had the password to the Dreamzone ages ago too.

Good to see Maincore around, though I doubt he remembers me

Wow. Glad to see you still around Maincore!

Have to bookmark that site. Somewhere over the years I lost the link to your site.

About the password...

...no the password system was dropped over two years ago. Just take what you need.
