Revan7even Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) In response to post #38270470. kevmeister95 wrote: this is probably off-topic but I think it illustrates the point of saving the past for future generations;my cousins husband, Kim, used to work at a parts supply store. when he worked there, his boss had accumulated a large collection of parts for old tractors going back about 40+ years. when Kims boss sold the business he left the catalogs in the care of the new owners. Kim had a customer come in for a part from a 40 year old tractor. Kim didn't have a part number to try and match up with the newer parts catalog, so he went back to his old employer to try to get one of the old parts books for a number. they had thrown out all the old parts books. a lot of older farmers still use OLD tractors because they like them and they are easier to work on. I know progress is supposed to be for the better, but without knowing where we came from...how do we know where we want to go?just a thoughtMy dad had an old Farmall H from the 40s that still worked just fine. Someone had done a not well thought-out job of putting a hydraulic 3point hitch on so it didn't actually stay where you put it, but it worked. He still had the owners manual for it, so when the 6volt starter died he was able to find a 12volt for it no problem.Of course with the internet it's much easier to find stuff, but imagine if ebay shut down? How many times have we all bought replacement parts for our stuff?Getting a little long winded, so, thank you for saving the storehouse of all the replacement parts for all those games :) Edited May 25, 2016 by Timmster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalsarGeldon Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I'm a big fan of Star Trek: Bridge Commander, and used File Front for a lot of really cool ships and other mods. so when they closed, I thought I would never see those mods again. So you can imagine how happy I am to see that you are adding these files to your system before they are lost forever to the net.I can't wait till the migration is complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikewill67 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Thank God for game geeks that take even the most archaic games seriously! You guys are AWESOME! -bump- Thank you so very much for rescuing these files. Just because they are old don't mean they aren't worth their own weight in gold no matter how old they get. Great work everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
