INFO-Mac...

People still use that?

I think we also need to check out non-English sites, and perhaps get HOW-TOs for submitting a game. Like Vector Japan is the Version Tracker of Japan. Many Mac users visit it daily. But to submit a game, you need to know Japanese. If I made a HOW-TO guide, then all you have to do is fill in the fields that I tell you. And boom, you are good to go.

It would be really nice if you could set something up so we could send you a game and you could contact all the japanese mac news magazine people :)

I suppose that would be a lot of effort though.

Um... ichi, ni, san. Ikiwaki. Ippon seo nagi. Kata. Ummm... sushi, okonomi-yaki.

We're showing off how much Japanese we know, right?

Oh, yeah, I like the HOWTO idea if you have the spare time, Carlos. Probably not a very high priority, though...

www.applelinks.com is another English language site. When I put HeckleWorks on applelinks.com it only got about 58 downloads (vs over 2000 on versionTracker), but it is well worth the 5 mins to post it.

Other than versiontracker, the 2 sites I use are
www.shareware.com
www.download.com
I don't know how many hits you'll get on these sites, but I use them.

I don't know how many hits you'll get on these sites, but I use them.I stopped using them because they started charging huge prices for your software submissions :ninja:

Sorry Jake no. I have far too much on my plate at the moment. :(
