It hurts to see so much ignorance, which is even displayed by people who have been phans for years.

Sometimes I wonder how many people actually visit PS Cave.

Who knows. I dont even bother looking at the PSOW forums any more. I cannot stand most of them.

I prefer the Official PSU boards over PSO-world.

People, this is not about how much PSOW sucks, but how people don't even seem to be aware of PS Cave. Or, for that matter, what happened the past decade in the fandom. Sinue_v2 is even a member here.

Translations for Kinds' Adventure and Shilka's Adventure have been available on this site not even two weeks after it reopened 1.5 years back! Anne's Adventure followed only two weeks later. Naflign's clones of Nei's Adventure and Amia's Adventure were added a year back.

And shame on him for misspelling Naflign's nickname!
Those old console adventure games were really pretty horrible in their interface due to the limitations of console controllers.

If by "pretty horrible" he means "pretty straightforward", then sure.
I think an excellent project would be for someone with some programming knowledge to use to software like Adventure Game Studios to remake the games into 256 color VGA graphic titles.

That's actually what Naflign did with Nei's Adventure and Amia's Adventure.

Not content with following the normal boolean rules relating to on and off, true and false, Naflign's Ego instead ran the line, forging its own gray area between the two. If someone in the know were to be asked about the state of the site, they'd be rewarded with a definite maybe.

Revisionism much? It wasn't that bad. Especially in the last year of its life.

I'm not sure if they're the complete CD complilations, or just the PSII Text Adventures. I haven't really looked into them. They're untranslated, but if anyone wants them - just let me know.

The ISOs have been available at PS Cave for almost a year.
I also found this little nugget that I thought was lost when "Algol Solar System" went down.

Lost? It's been in PS Cave's Fan Art section for ages, and if he had used Google, he'd have found a site that still has the complete collection of Toyo Ozaki's artwork.

The only way to sell a great product is to market it.

Yellow like on the main page with different PS characters on them and PSCave.com written on the back! That would be a sweet t-shirt to have!

I'd want black shirt with Re-Faze on it! \o/

Hm... I could place some PS Cave banners on my... ummm. Upcomming site. ;E

Haha, T-shirts. That would be nifty.

But what I ultimately meant was that perhaps after the multiple years of hiatus for the cave the message of its existence isn't out there anymore. If any of you use other forums then perhaps throwing a PSCave link in your signatures will help.

We could make commercials as well.

PSO World got a thread on the revival when it got back. There was a mention on Fringes of Algo as well.

But they still act as if it doesn't exist.

You have a point, it probably isn't on everyone's mind. I'm going to add a link to my board signatures.
