How 2dgames.eu works
2dgames.eu is a free search engine for free games.
The games are found at the World Wide Web using some automatic robots.
Some Statistics / information
- There are now more then 11000 games and more than 9000 game mirrors
- Every game has 1 screenshot, that means 11000 games x 4000bytes
= a lot of data traffic
- The spiders are made with Python 2.5
- This website is using Apache
- We are now using php, but we will switch to python later
1 spider is searching for game sites.
- if the website is using robots.txt
- if the website has many games
- if the website is fast
- if the website is spider proof
1 spider is indexing the game sites
- searching for games or game mirrors at that website
- searching for the correct categories
- make the screenshot
- calculate the game size
- do some secret things
The games that where found.
- do some secret things
Then after a while the game is online and many users can find/play it !
There is a way to get listed directly but that will cost some money.
What are online and offline games ?
Online games are games that you can play in your internet browser.
Offline games are games that you must download and install before you can play them
How can I play the online games ?
All online games are made with flash player or schockwave player
 |
You need the flash player if you can't play/run/load the games. |
 |
You need the schockwave player if some games are not working. |
How can I play the offline games ?
| |
Download the game. (use the download url). |
| readme.txt |
The correct install instructions. |
install.exe
setup.exe |
You need to use this for installing the game. |
afilename.rar
afilename.zip |
its possible that you must unpack the files.
You need winrar to unpack .rar files.
You need winzip to unpack .zip files. (free download trial) or read below.
WinRAR provides the complete support for ZIP files, so you may both create and unpack them. If you installed WinRAR on your computer and downloaded ZIP file from Internet, you may double click on ZIP file icon to open it in WinRAR, select all files, press "Extract To" button, enter a destination path and press "OK". Another way is to click on the ZIP file in Explorer using the right mouse button. If you enabled "Shell integration" option when installing WinRAR, the file context menu will contain "Extract to ..." item. |

How can I play old dos games ?
Dos games are very old and therefore you need a program that can manage it.
This program is dosBox.
1. download a dos game.
2. unpack the dos game.
3. copy in this example the game to c:\thegame
4. download and install http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/download.php?main=1
5. start -> program files -> dosbox -> dosbox
6. use this command: mount x c:\thegame
7. use this command: x:
8. use this command: dir
now you see the directory for that game.
9. use the command to start the game. (start.exe go.exe run.exe or a other name)
and the game starts in the dosbox with background music and another effects.
How can I submit content ?
The 'GameBot' is automaticly searching for games, and adding it to the website.
I really don't know if your website/game will be listed and when.
If you want to add your game directly (within some days) then you could advertise
Or you could try to submit your website here:
