When I decided to switch to HonestGamers for my reviews, I was thinking that I'll copy all of them, with the probable exception of the one for Forsaken World, over here over the course of three months or so. However, I only finally managed to do so after one year and one month, though at least the last one added was that one for Forsaken World, after asking about it and being told that it is acceptable to submit such a review that is basically there for historical reference, describing how a game was at certain a point in time. And the two new reviews written during this period, those for King of Dragon Pass and Hero of the Kingdom II, are just posted here and on my blog, not also on MobyGames.
On the other hand, speaking of things that I don't know when I'll get around to doing, after failing to copy all of my old reviews here even within one year after switching, I was hoping to also write the review for Diggles during that additional month, since I finished the game back in March, and that was why I delayed adding that Forsaken World review, meaning to push myself to write that one first and then still copy that other one by the time 13 months passed since switching to using the site. But that didn't work, so I eventually just put that one here as well, making some changes at the beginning, and it remains to be seen when I'll finally write that one for Diggles... And those for the first Vampires Dawn and Heretic Kingdoms: The Inquisition, which I also finished since then.
But the reason I'm posting this now instead of a month and a half ago, when I posted that last review, is that today I finally got around to making the changes to my Games Played list so the proper links will be used, so the reviews posted here will be linked to and the new URL structure from MobyGames will be used for the game entries. Of course, the ratings and notes remain a mess, added over more than 15 years and now in a third different format, just automatically converted from the previous one in case of all but a couple of entries, but maybe someday I'll get around to doing something about that as well... Highly unlikely, but never say never, I guess.
Edit: Hmm, links aren't allowed in posts? In that case, the Games Played list I'm referring to is on my site, at https://games.cavsplace.com/
