[game_preservation] Older versions of Programs

[Andrew Armstrong]

Ooh, awesome. I honestly have never seen that before, despite sometimes 
searching for patches for a fair while. Files seem to be hosted on 
http://dlh.net/ , interesting.

The site only has 383 games with patch pages, I wonder how many patches 
they have total, hard to see from the A-Z listings (although it's great 
to see a news archive going back to 1995, wow!)

Anyone got any more of these sites, please post them :)
