Why no GAME catergory at pricelesswarehome?

Obviously http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/ is a valuable resource, but I
didn't see any GAME category. Yet, by doing a careful search, I found that
there actually IS a list of freeware games, on the page,
http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acfg/Games.txt. But that is a well-hidden
resource, and there's no direct or obvious path to it. Why?

Well, no matter. I am sure that when ACF readers have a look at the
unbelieveable *GEM* that's now to be found at http://BABALA.ORG (site
freshly revamped 6/22), there will be no question that a GAMES category will
be coming to PricelesswareHome.

Of course, the wait for Babala v1.0 will be excruciating for many. 200
levels will be in that one!

See also my other posts about Babala, for more enticing detail. A meaty
pursuit indeed, that game, with Internet score posting to come later this
year.

FWIW you didn't find the a "real" web page - that's here:

http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acfg/Games.php

and it's a copy of the info on a 2002 ACFG list found here:

http://members.bellatlantic.net/~vze25yrg/ACFGR/ACFGR.html

The page was uploaded for discussion/revision. The alt.comp.freeware.games newsgroup decided they
did not want to have a games page at this time (I just never deleted the draft page). I've set the
follow-up to this post to ACFG should you care to discuss that decision with the folks over there.

It's old (2002) and outdated. I think it's Susans draft based on this
