Contributing Mods

User Avatarthere is a feature that i really miss here, members should be able to contribute mods for the original games as well.
User Avataras best as I can tell we only deal with ones that were sold in boxes in stores; you can hopefully submit one and take your chances of it meeting a sympathetic approver 8)

User AvatarAny plans to add support for it in the future?
User AvatarNot at this time.
User AvatarAs it is, we appear to only count mods endorsed by or licensed from the original software holders, or that appeared on store shelves... except when we violate that premise also 8)

(please don't take my pointing out exceptions as opposing their presence here; me, I think we should more more inclusive of their ilk... and my Cuntlet II submission 8)

User AvatarWait, should Spear of Resurrection count as a mod? I played it; it's a total conversion, and almost a separate game entirely. Plus, it doesn't require Wolf 3D to play.

User AvatarStand-alone games are always ok, for example Urban Terror was originally a mod for Quake III, but was later released on its own.

User AvatarA very good point. If it doesn't require another game to play it, then it doesn't count as a mod.

And on a completely unrelated note, I just started playing Urban Terror a couple days ago. Damn, that's some mighty fine freeware.

So Ultima V - Lazarus wouldn't count, and in a move surprisingly close to policy... it appears to have been excluded from the database!
