Trust me, if I could ever get a budget to do that myself, I'd do it up
in a flash (hell, start with an FTP and go from there). Maybe the IA
could help if we were serious about it, they host some software after
all.<br>
<br>
I myself keep for all my PC games (although they don't date back
"forever", heh), all patches I download. Finding them again is a pain -
sometimes hours of pain. It's a hefty amount of gigabytes.<br>
<br>
Excellent idea, if someone could do it sometime I'd be much impressed
:) - while some game file hosting places do recent patches quite well
(on the providing end) for distribution, and publishers usually provide
a mirror themselves, older games get next to no love.<br>
<br>
I'll note this for the links list at some point in any case (still on
my todo list to sort out :) ).<br>

<div dir="ltr">I think OldVersion.com was listed on the resource list
awhile back, but I'm going to pull it up again. This site archives old
versions of computer software and utilities like Flash and Winamp.
Similarly, I think it would be useful to have an archive of game
patches. It's a bit difficult to locate patches for some of my older
games, but it can also be useful and historically significant to run
older patches of computer games.<br>
