I know this is a total long shot, but does anyone actually have his first six films? Has anyone even bothered to watch them?

They're all short films:

Star Wars (1969)
King Kong vs. Godzilla (1969)
Godzilla (1969)
Marvel (1969)
Alien (1963)
Godzilla (1962)

Look, I’m a massive fan and a collector, but I just can't seem to track these down... no matter what I try.😢

I absolutely adore them too, but unfortunately, I don't own any of them and have never even seen them, which is such a shame!!!!!

Honestly, you should just dive into some Napster stuff; that’s how I stumbled upon Salome of Herodias, that super short little flick from '73. I managed to grab it—it's a quick watch, really—and I also found Into the Woods. I didn't end up downloading the latter since I had just picked it up, but hey, it was definitely out there ready to go... so yeah, give it a shot...

e-mule? Never actually messed around with that one... Is it really any better than DC++?

I suppose—if I'm being honest—that's exactly it.

I suppose we should get moving—if that's what everyone wants—but I guess there's no harm in heading out now. http://forum.dead-donkey.com/

It looks like there might be some Alien available—I guess?

Please don't be difficult—I've actually brought him up several times before—if you just check my old username, you'll see it right there on my homepage 😁😁

Now you've done it. I'm going to spend my entire weekend glued to this computer digging through this forum instead of actually resting. When my boss asks why I look like a wreck on Monday, I'll just say, "Go ask wearygardener13." 😁

Anyway, sending some virtual beers your way for the link. Seriously, thanks. 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

Hehe 😁😁

http://forum.dead-donkey.com/viewtopic.php?t=11934

I guess—if anyone is interested—is there anyone playing Savior on DVD so we could maybe... I don't know, get a game going? 😁😁

I just can't seem to get anyone to see reason—it's clear as day that emulation is the absolute best way to go. 😢

Well, I try to give them my best shot—but honestly, it doesn't seem to matter—because they just end up looking down on me like I'm some kind of idiot🙂

Once you actually throw a mod on there—man, it just flies! 🙏🙏

I'm currently using Ionix, I guess.

I stick with Ionix

Sure, there are probably specific subreddits where this kind of thing belongs, but I don't think anyone's going to lose their mind if we drop a few more details here. It would be helpful for the newbies who have spent all their time relying on things like BitTorrent or old-school file sharing...🙂

Look, you don't need to try and convince me... ☕ Yeah, I agree. Mule is definitely the top tier here, followed closely by Napster—at least if you're asking for my take on things. 😁 By the way, I just ran a quick search—used some Google tricks to dig around—and actually stumbled upon Warrior and the Demon and Revenge of the Colossal Beasts. They’re only about 350MB each, so... there you go. If you're looking to grab some of those old classics, that's your spot. 👍

Dammit, I can't find a single one of them 😢 uh, looks like I'm going to have to commit ultimate blasphemy and actually look up some instructions somewhere 🙂

Look, I’m certainly no expert myself—I just follow whatever tutorials I can find online. Maybe just try a quick Google search for a guide, follow those steps, and you'll probably be fine.
