Some time ago they killed all the hosted sites on the planet* sites. Now Fileplanet which they forced their hosted sites to use for downloads. Expletives!
If it’s any help (probably redundant), I did a partial mirror of planetquake many years ago. http://taniwha.org/~bill/games.txt.gz a list of what I’ve got readily accessible.
If someone wants to collaborate, please shout. It’s php & sqlite3. Great features to have would be a realtime search box and pagination. I have more metadata, screenshots etc, which I will join later. I will probably also properly restore the timestamps, noticed the “23:00:00” just now. I have them accurate to the minute.
13 years later it is time to drop PHP from the server though.
I played with some unethical LLM vibe coding to convert it to HTML+JS with sql.js but realised that I have no idea how to do a security review of the result. So instead, it's bye-bye to this search interface for now.
To make sure it is not lost, I enabled listing and .php file download for the directory: https://www.quaddicted.com/stuff/fileplanet/
There are some older databases and other files too, sorry for the mess.
It would be ace if someone would host this elsewhere for us archivists.
If someone wants to look at the horrible but working-for-the-user LLM output of the conversion to check for security issues OR convert it themselves so I could host it, message me. <3
