Quandary winding down - 06/15/08 01:59 PM
Boomers, hi,
One chapter ends... and another begins.
Sadly, Rosemary and Gordon over at Quandary have decided to pursue other interests, and the site will be winding down. It was just becoming too difficult and time consuming to chase publishers and advertisers for the minimal results this produced.
Ironically, the publishers of adventure games seem to be mostly interested in the mainstream sites - the very ones that almost universally pan the kind of games they are trying to peddle. But that's another story; and one that's been covered in many a Quandary editorial over the years. Indeed, Quandary is one of the oldest adventure and RPG review sites on the web, having emerged all the way back in 1995.
But all is not lost. As it would be a shame to consign the 800+ (mostly) quality articles that have been written by the various contributors over the years (too many to thank here, you know who you are), to the virtual scrap heap, I have undertaken to archive the articles here, on my own new site:
http://metzomagic.com/
The very astute and prolific Steve Ramsey (most of you know him as 'flotsam') will still be churning out adventure game reviews there. I personally have gone over to the Dark Side lately, and will be concentrating my efforts on RPG reviews and in-depth guides. Be on the lookout for articles on The Witcher and Mass Effect. Not to mention Steve's XP Games Corner, which seems to have become my de facto hobby of late.
In closing, I'd like to thank all of you Boomers who used to visit Quandary on a regular basis and contribute to the forums. We'll all miss the place
So why don't you nick over to:

and bid Rosemary and Gordon the fond farewell they deserve for flying the flag of adventure games for all those years!
Best regards,
MetzO'Magic
