[game_preservation] Home of the Underdogs

[Devin Monnens]

I haven't checked, but I wouldn't be too surprised if somebody decided to do
an Underdogs bittorent. That might be the only way all the files would ever
get together again. However, I'm not convinced all the stuff they were
distributing was really legal to distribute. It's another of those gray
areas. Still, sad to see the site's gone though.
