The Sheep's Tribute Site Resurrected...

Post by rtw »

Since this site should never die, I wanted to share the shooting love :D

Note this is not the APPA. The APPA is huge, maybe I will bring that back
as well but just now we will start with the tribute pages.

Before you ask this site is a sanctioned by The Sheep himself. I am
the individual that he sent the site to.

I have added the "preliminary pages" as well. I have a lot of raw material but
sadly I'm not that good with Photoshop, so if someone wants to help me
with Mushimesama, Gunbird 2 to name a few please PM me.

I am also after scans of the two white flyers of Dangun Feveron that SuperPang
recently sold. As you can see they are not in the archive.

Please do not leech this site, leeching will kill it.

If you want to help pay my hosting bills please consider a small donation.

I'm off on holidays soon but I wanted to give you the shooting love :D

Who says it won't be updated :D

Just now it is frozen in time, but if people contribute it can grow.

I'll try and contribute Ibara-related stuff if you like.
I don't know what you need though, so you'll have to instruct me. ^_-

For rtw,

Thanks for bringing the Sheep's World of Arcades back from the dead. ^_~

It's nice to d/l missing arcade paperworks for bare-bones arcade shmup PCBs.

Thanks again...

I never knew what "leeching" meant, but I do remember that the original site had a warning at the start that tried to prevent something like that... What would leeching be in this case?
Oh, and I am happy to see one of my favourite sites back again!

Leech, in computing, someone who uses others' information or effort but
does not provide any in return. I.e. someone who copies down the entire
site generating a large amount of traffic which might lead to closure.

First of all, thank you very much to all the donators, I have a special treat for you after I return from vacation.

Just to be 100% crystal, this is not a site rip but the official archive of the site.

Thanks for pushing it onto usnet jigsawman!

Thanks for the praise, but the praise should got to The Sheep! He did the entire initial site. I have just hosted it and started to gently fill in the gaps :D
