SMWC contest file archival

After playing through the VLDC7, I have been quite interested in seeing what other kind of creations were created in the earlier versions. However, upon looking at some of the really old VLDC threads, I found that almost all of them were deleted and could not be recovered.

Does anybody here know where I can find some of the old ones (mainly the ones from 2008)? It would be much appreciated if anyone did.

(also, someone I know said they submitted something as well, but that one is also missing (MamaLugi's entry, I believe) so that one would also be much appreciated if someone had that.)

Thanks. #ab{:)}

I think I still have a 2008 one sitting around. Never did get to let's playing them.

Maybe i do it in 2018?
Thanks to those who had the foresight, or made the effort post-contest, to provide level packs. I'd love to see any further contributions to help recover the missing entries.

If anyone wants a hack from past contests, I would gladly share when possible.

Wow, this is quite helpful, thanks Zandro!

Quick suggestion: What if you made the links to direct downloads of the levels rather than the posts? And the ones that haven't been found can be "non-links" until we do? Good help us keep track, and would clearly let people know which ones we need. Just a thought.

These are all missing files. No sense linking to dead files.

Link to all of them. Obsolete versions aren't included for obvious reasons.
Jackpot! Thanks for linking the level pack. I failed to revisit the Discussions topic for this contest. #ab{>_<}
Even bigger jackpot!

I asked SNN about it and he sent me a bunch of the contest files he had on one of his hard drives. :P Here is the link.

I spent an hour or two confirming every last IPS from the VLDC of 2008 was there, and labelling them based on creator/level name, and I can confirm they're all here.

May take a while to download though, as a bunch of other contest stuff came with it as well. Better change the thread name :P

Soon I'll get to work on checking through the other contest stuff he sent me :P
