An year ago we launched the Free Software Downloads website – DownBroad.com , a software repository with over 20.000 applications titles for Windows, Unix, Mac and PDA-s. The games section of the DownBroad is slowly developing but we observed the shift in playing the games online rather then install a 200Mb on the desktop.

The solution to this is the new brother GameBroad – home of 6000 arcade games. Packet with 12 categories: Action, Adventure, Ball, Board, Card, Casino, Classic, Puzzle, Racing, Shooting, Sports the games located on GameBroad are online playable flash games. The website will be weekly actualize with new games. Which is my favorite? For the moment: Racing games.

At the same time we have ported the English version of the GameBroad to a localized romanian version: Jocuri gratis – JocuPedia. The romanian version is still in migration phase, only part of the 6000 archive games are now ported on JocuPedia.

DownBroad freware and shareware archive – is a PAD (Portable Application Description)software archive ( software repository ) based on our fastlink2 CMS engine. The same engine based on Php5-MySql database- Smarty templating was used also in photography contest website – PhotoSharks. Modifications were made to accommodate the features of a modern software repository, but the basics are the same: Php5+MySq databasel+Smarty templating.
