HI ALL! We are a startup game development company and we’ve started with shareware games. Could anybody clear up to us the ways of distribution of shareware games? I will greatly appreciate your help.

Your best bet is going to be to submit your games to download/shareware sites, which there are plenty of. Start with the following:

1) Download.com
2) Madmonkey.net
3) Shareware.com
4) Freegames.net
5) Freegames.org

Let me know if I can help you any other way.

Thank you,

Thank you for your answer.
Submission of games is OK, but we are also interested in online promotion. We have found some sites like www.lockergnome.com; www.sharewareviking.com; www.sharewarejunkies.com and others. But we realize that it is rather difficult to get reviewed. Are you aware of other sites with the better service?
We’d like to know whether there are any sites that for a definite percentage could promote shareware games, distribute them not only online but also on CD.

I have seen your site. When is it going to open?
Thanks a lot.

Best wishes and regards,

An "executive manager" with a goofy hax0r nickname in his signature is scary.
