August Winner

We know, last month we've been completely out of the scene with no intervention in the blog. I want to let you know we're working on some changes in Squakenet to make it better (at least we try!). However, we did not forget the contest that I remind you will finish at the end of the year. Each month we will give away one free game, kindly offered by GOG. The guys at GOG are working hard to include new games that we will publish every time to make your gaming experience the best.

Then, let's announce the winner... they call him HeXiGON! Congratulation!! Directly from Australia he decided to choose Interstate '76, indeed a nice chose, I like it very much as well.

July winner

Here a quick post to announce the winner for July review. Keep writing reviews of our beloved abandonware games, the contest will continue all along 2011. It seems Duke Nukem mania is continuing, probably thanks to the new Duke Nukem forever release.

The winner of the prize is Jacob from Ohio with the review written on July 9th for Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition. Jacob told us that his best games ever are Duke Nukem 3D, Destruction Derby and Test Drive. Why does he like them so much? because they are really awesome and he has been playing a lot.

He chose another Duke Nukem episode, Duke Nukem Manhattan Project, he never played to this episode and he would like trying it out, here a demo:

The Witcher winners

Finally we had them! It took quite a long time (due to holidays) and also because several people we contacted did not reply back (we're still re-drawing the June review winner...): are you all guys on holiday too?

Well, about The Witcher giveaway we gave coupons to two of our users, a Facebook profile, and a Twitter one. The third was another Facebook follower but we did not receive any answer, so, we're going to use the last coupon for another contest during next month.

Our twitter winner is Kevin from New York City. His top 3 old games are
X-Com UFO Defense, Wizardry 7, and Jagged Alliance. What he likes more of Squakenet? "Squakenet.com is awesome, because they don't make games like these any more": wise words man, wise words...

We're going to come back very soon with the new contest to giveaway the last free copy of The Witcher.

Keep tuned.

Review contest, May winner

Here we are with the first draw for the contest that will go all along 2011. I am glad to announce you May winner is Jackson Fellblade with the review he wrote on May 14th for Quake game.

Many congratulations!! He is the first winner of our contest that will continue all the year long. The prize? he choosed a game gently offered by Gog, Unreal Gold, to be precise. Here it goes a short interview:
