Hello all,
I'm quite new here so excuse if I break any posting rules I didn't know about. 
Anyways, I'm currently working on a project to archive as many Klik and Play games as possible, just to save them from the rickety old archived Geocities sites, and for people that want to explore what an "indie game" was called in 1998. Currently, the games count is at 168. I had released a bare bones archive previously, which exceeded 300 megs. It's always changing, so it'll probably change soon. I wonder if the file will exceed 1 gigabyte. I haven't even started Glorious Trainwrecks yet.
If you guys have any of your old games lying around, since I know a couple of you were part of that community, if you wouldn't mind please send them this way.
Thanks.

P. S. I might post an inventory however it's rather hard transferring everything to my old Windows ME laptop I use to organize everything.

I didn't make anything in Klik and play and haven't saved anything I have ever downloaded because it's not going to work on mordern PCs...

KnP games can be easily updated to run on modern PCs since the source files couldn't be locked and are included when the game is installed using the built-in installer.
Just get a Windows 3.1 image for dosbox, run the game installer, then take the gam/cca file and open it in Fusion (which oddly enough still supports the .gam format)
Boom, converted.
