Ooh, awesome. I honestly have never seen that before, despite sometimes
searching for patches for a fair while. Files seem to be hosted on
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://dlh.net/">http://dlh.net/</a> , interesting.<br>
<br>
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!)<br>
<br>
Anyone got any more of these sites, please post them :)<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
