This is a long+long*(long^99) shot, and I don't expect to get any results (but damn it, I have to try)... I used to have a website with a few K&P games on it. It's long gone as well as my old games, webhost and all. The old Windows 95 PC that I made the games on is dead after many typical Windows crashes. I was wondering (get ready to mock me) if anyone has any of these old games saved to this day (yeah yeah, almost 12 years after the fact, it's most likely too late). Here is a link to preserved copy of the website on the wayback machine, http://web.archive.org/web/20030213221732/http://bug-14.freeyellow.com/. The problem is the games were hosted on Xoom which has a robots.txt which prevented the Wayback Machine from crawling it. The downloads were never saved anywhere. This was three computers ago for me.
My brother has the harddrive of the original PC-95 that I grew up on, so I might try hooking that up to my iMac somehow and scanning it for deleted files. I tell you what guys, if I ever do find any old games on that fried HD, I will upload them somewhere. But I wouldn't count on it... I haven't had the creative spark, like I did back in the day with that old K&P.

I don't remember your name or games but I'll have a look on my old hard drive for them.
Sorry to follow your request up with a counter-request (ha) but let me know how it goes with the old hard drive. I have have an old 486 computer that I've always wanted to hook up again and see some of my very first games. The trouble is that it's been out of action for a very long time (10 years) and I've no idea how long the magnetic field (or whatever) lasts on those hard drive disks.
