I've been worried about what was going to happen to Caiman Games for several months now. I offered my services to help keep the site up and running, but nothing came of that. now it looks like the site has been finally shut down. It was definitely working yesterday because I downloaded a game for next week’s three year anniversary of our own free games project. This morning the site had become very sluggish and apart from some pages nothing else worked including any download links. Now the site has disappeared altogether.
As yet I don't know whether this is going to be a temporary thing or whether it's permanent? I have to search through my email to find the contact email that I had used to ask if they would like some help. One of the young guys helping out said it would be welcomed but it was up to Rudy Caimans colleague who never got back to me.
I'm hoping that it is only temporary, but to be honest I don't thnk it's looking good, which is a great shame because the site was a fantastic repository of freeware games many of which are not available anywhere else.
I'd actually intended to work through all of the games downloading them to create a backup, but it was a massive undertaking and I just didn't have the energy to do it.
We have linked quite a few of the games in the free games project to the Caiman site; a lot of these (but not all) will have alternative download site. If you are wanting to download a game and the link no longer works just Google the name of the game and you'll hopefully find alternative sites like Acid-Play who host a good collection of games.
