What happened to Rob Allen sites?

[wolf]

Anyone happen to know what happened to the Rob Allen sites?
He was the creator of Games like Hapland, blackshift, netshift, ect.
It looks like he just up and quit today and shut the sites down.
If you navigate to any of the pages it just says "Goodbye".

I've googled all over but there is no mention of it anywhere....I loved
that netshift game, played it almost every day

Seems odd since he announced a few months ago that he was getting ready
to release something new.

[Lilliputt]

Wha...? WHY?! I liked those games too Me upsad now....

[Carmit]

aawww i missed out i never saw them

[Lilliputt]

Does this mean that all those games are going to be moved to the "broken links" thread?

[Mistery]

I'm going to do some research, and see what I can find out. Thanks for reporting.
If we find alternative links, then the links will be updated.

[wolf]

I hope you have better luck than I have. I can't seem to find anything about
it. I would really like to find netshift again.

[Mistery]

I'm currenty updating the links, I'll let you know here very soon what I've found and what not

[Lilliputt]

Thank you very much, Mistery

[Mistery]

Okay, the current state is:

Hapland 1-3 are available.
Escape From Rhetundo Island is available.
Eye Defence is available.
Cowabanga is available.
Day of the Bobteds is available.

Banner Game seems to be gone.

I haven't found Netshift yet, but I haven't given up yet. Have some patience There is 1 alternative link, but the game doesn't load...


Btw, I hope that Rob Allen is okay, and just has currently other things in the focus (like job or family).

[Lilliputt]

PHEW! That is a relief to hear. Thank you
I also hope Mr Rob Allen is okay too, tough

[funja]

to play it if yoiu find it mistery thanx again for researc

[wolf]

Thanks Mistery, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

[Mistery]

I'm really sorry wolf - we haven't found any working link for Netshift
I've moved the thread now to the Games With Broken Links section, let's hope that it will be back again some day.

Thank you very much for searching. I have had no luck finding it again either.
Given the nature of the game, I am assuming it would have only been on the original server.

The foon site message has now changed too. Instead of the "goodbye" message it is coming up files not found. Although it is still registered for now, looks like the server data is erased.
