Abandoned page - rescuing content

Subject: Abandoned page - rescuing content 2015-07-17, 23:17

Hi all! I've got a big request to all Heroes fans. A few years ago I've found on acidcave forum link to the very old page containing rare screenshots from Heroes 3 beta, and some interesting information about H2 (I remember detailed comparision of titan and black dragon).
http://underworld.fortunecity.com/platform/396/
I've checked it now, but it seems that even Internet Archive lost most of it's data. Nothing dies in nature, so maybe someone has this page saved on disc and could share somehow with us? Wink

Did you check Wayback Machine?

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://underworld.fortunecity.com/platform/396/

Ah. Now I see it's empty.

Well, I don't know if there is someone who has this page saved, but you can find a lot of such content on DF2 in an old Museum topic.
http://forum.df2.ru/index.php?showtopic=10584

Unfortunately, many links there also died because of Imageshack changing its politics.

DF2 community started compiling the Museum 2.0, but Docent Picolan doesn't seem to have enough time for all that.

Yes, but the page was very complex, with all navigation links put in a separate box. In Internet archive it's all gone. And it seems that the most of images too.

Now I see an e-mail adress. I will check it, but I don't have big hope to contact with admin.

Still, try it. When I searched for various dead content, sometimes I was lucky to find a working e-mail. I even was able to contact ex-NWC Tracy Iwata back in the day.

It's always sad to loose Heroes II content. Crying

If you know "not dead yet" website that provide interesting H2 contents, you can feel free to copy/paste in the forums, to prevent we loose priceless datas. Wink

Does any of you got a high res image of the front view "Disguised Sandro" from H3 Shadow of Death? Got one though i would prefer a larger and cleaner one, if there is any. Luckily i can use some cutscenes as well, but this would be helpful too.

No info, to my regret. The best picture fan art has to offer is this H2 Sandro from Ashirox.

Thanks. I stumbled upon this one on my search, and this would be definitely harder to build with the torso on sight. Very Happy
