Coaster Buzz Games?

Doesn't exist anymore? Where can I download all of those fantastic tracks and scenarios :(

Other than a giant zip file somewhere, the site no longer exists.

Where is the giant .zip?

Judging from his post, I'm going to guess "somewhere" means just that.

...i.e., over the rainbow.

I just want all of Gonchar's tracks :(

:)

I don't have copies of any of them myself.

Most of the really good ones have probably been ripped off and posted other places. I'm too lazy to look around though.

Me too. In fact, I'm too lazy to finis

I've tried searching for just "Lord Gonchar RCT2 Downloads" but it's a giant circle that leads me from CoasterImage back to CoasterBuzz back to missing sites. Le sigh.

Yeah, I removed the RCT pages from my site a while ago but Google kept pushing people to them. So I put them back up without links anywhere on the active site just for posterity.

Maybe someday we can get Jeff to make that big ol' zip file available to us?

I would certainly hope so. I miss all of your tracks :\

The zip full of files isn't that useful without the database that describes them.

In other words, there is a snowballs chance in Hell of us ever seeing the site come back with all of the old files? That makes me sad. :(

Who would actually use it though? I mean, you guys, but even a dozen doesn't quite make it worth the effort. I'm not even sure if what I have includes the source code, and it was tied to the old version of the CoasterBuzz database, which has changed dramatically since then.

Honestly, I'd never use it anymore and I don't really need those files because I'll never fire up old versions or RCT again.

But every time it comes up, I remember I don't have copies of any of those files.

I mean, it wouldn't hurt to just add a database archive for the people that still do. I, for instance, will never play RCT3. Only RCT2 and the originals.

Either that, or go through to all of the other sites you guys control and stop forwarding everyone to a ghost site.

Well, you'll notice that there are no links at all on Coasterimage to the RCT pages. Those pages are are old and were removed from the active site structure long ago.

The only way to get to those pages (which are an old design that doesn't even match the current site design and dated 2008) are from other sites still linking to my outdated info. I removed links to those old pages shortly after CB Games went away.

The problem lies with other sites pushing you to outdated info on my site.

If I could bring it back from the dead, certainly it would be read-only. But it would be a fair amount of work, not the least of which is because it ran on a version of .NET that's now seven or eight years old!

Oh the downsides of having a game that is ancient.

I fire it up once or twice a year. The nostalgia wears off and I go do something else.
