I forgot about this thread for a couple of days, so I just read your answer, Ana.
Thank you very much! Gamenuts apparently was a 'major' site back then. I will try to find it on archive.org
just to get an idea how it looked. As I mentioned before, I also like GB best. Adventuregamers also looks pretty decent,
but for some reason I am not drawn to that site that much. It pops up on google search very often when I am googling for reviews, though.
Then I usually visit the site to read the review I was looking for.
If anyone has another good adventure site to recommend aside from GB, I would be happy to hear about it.


Update: I and my 'gaming friend' also had a website about games : savegameserver.com), btw. Idea was to build a huge
archive of savegames. We really got good feedback on the site, especially from adventure gamers and we had thousands of members.
It was really nice to see that. But after a few years we put it offline because I did not have the time anymore back then to maintain the site and to implement required improvements (people started to upload viruses etc). Also we were concerned about copy rights.
We only offered saves, no games on the site, but as we had thousands (or at least hundreds, I don't remember) of savegames,
we were concerned, because one out of hundreds of companies would probably have been enough for a lawsuit.
I am still proud of the idea, though. The site was not the first of its kind, but it got bigger and bigger and probably at the end was the
site with the most saves. Similar to 'my ebay', it offered a 'my sgs' area, where you could manage your own save file archive and you could also submti a request for a specific save you needed.

Update 2: Here is an archived version, in case anyone is interested:

Mystery Manor is a small corner of the adventure gaming website world. Right now Ghostlady is working on getting game manuals for old game available. So many of them are becoming available for modern computers at sites like GOG and people are complaining that they don't have the manual! There is also a fair archive of saved games there. Many of the members there are also members here at GB.

Mystery Manor may only be a "small corner" but it's a very useful place to visit bravo

I remember Just Adventure, barely. It may have been where I started. I don't remember that far back.

Reenie, I swear I remember you from some computer help website from a gazillion years ago! Don't even remember the name of it now.
