i've been looking around for old game demos/themes/shareware to download but mostly i found dead links and servers. gamedomain had a lot of stuff but is offline for some years now. anyone knows if something similar exists nowadays?
Have you looked through http://cd.textfiles.com/ already?

Download.com was great for 96-99 games, until they did the stupid installer wrapper thing.
MBnet.fi's download repository has a lot of rare shareware stuff, but that is exclusive to Finnish subscribers. It'd be a dream if I had access to it 🙁
If tucows still exists, it might have a lot of crap from the 90's!

yes i knew about textfiles, didnt know about the archived tucows tho, thanks for that.
Some of the files on MBnet.fi are also available on cd roms, that were available to subscribers. I am no longer a subscriber, but I have some old cd roms still left from them. I could upload them somewhere, but I am not sure if it is legal, there are no full versions of programs on cds so maybe it is legal?

even if it is not 100% legal, there are good intensions behind it and you dont sell the cd so it can't be that illegal ;p It would be very nice if you could upload it on a free file hosting website 😎

Seems to be a rather extensive archive of shareware and BBS stuff.
