Am just curious about the abandonware hosted/listed on dosgames.com - I assumed dosgames.com hosts all abandonware .. games that companies are now defuncted or liquided... and the games have no owners anymore.
Then why is there Blood? Atari owns rights to Blood game after buying it from Monolith and GT Interactive.
Anyway, any chance putting up Rise of the Robots 1 & 2 demos... and Bedlam 1 & 2 demos?
Also Little Big Adventure 1 & 2 demos.... & Syberia... and Creature Shock

dosgames.com does not host any abandonware... Shareware / Freeware yes.
Blood is a shareware distribution (First Episode (The only good one IMHO) is free), unless you pay for the full distro you don't legally own it. (Like others would agree, I wouldn't pay for it unless the company was willing to continue supporting it)

Dosgames.com doesn't really has a history of putting games /demos on site by request.
Even if it happens
sometimes for really hard to find games, it isn't a habit.
The games/demos you ask for are pretty easy to find googlin' a bit.
About your question:

Here is a good place, but if the admins will respond ...... it's up to them.
