I recently got up Ancient DOS Games Episode 16 - Star Wars: Dark Forces, which was actually requested by forum-goer "retro games 100". Since I happened to own the game already I figured why not? ;)
For those of you who're interested, the review can be found here: http://www.pixelships.com/adg/ep0016.html
But now I have a question for all of you here at the VOGONS forums. I understand that in a lot of forum environments, self promotion is generally not viewed so kindly, but I've been contributing to other conversations when I can and have recently only been talking about ADG when I can primarily talk about something interesting in relation to the episode, such as the EGA dithering in Thexder or making a 640x350 EGA game like Snarf fit a widescreen monitor.
So my question is this: How often do you all want me to post information about new episodes?
1. Every time a new episode goes up
2. Every once in awhile, say every three to five episodes
3. Only if there's something interesting about the game reviewed that can be discussed
4. Never, the posts are getting annoying
Or my other thought is to keep an active thread in the Release Announcements forum and simply update it with a fresh post for each new episode, if the admins and mods are OK with that of course.
Any thoughts?

I don't actually own this game and it was recently covered on one of my favourite web shows called "Until We Win". You can watch it here: http://www.lordkat.com/until-we-win-dune-ii.html
