Will add these to the next set. This last set of the series is going to be big, and will take awhile.

Shortie I really liked your icons,... don't know if I have already downloaded your previous works, but... uhm... I have noticed creators tend to design icons for the same games once and again. Sadly, I am not into the games that appear to be so popular here. Say, could you work a bit on things other people have not?? I mean, the icons are great, but I don't use most of the packs because I have none of the games installed. I know, this sounds like a personal request, but... I'd like to think it is a "finger pointing at the moon"... ok, that may not have come out entirely right...
Also, and I'm sorry about posting it here, cause it is a technical matter... How in god's name do I work with Dockzip files?? I mean, I have surfed the net once and again and there's little info on it. As far as I know these files work simply by putting them inside the specified folder, yet it does not work for me. I downloaded several compression tools, trying to find a way of opening the damn thing, but this doesn't work either. Say, could you help me on this?? My neighbours would really appreciate it, for I would go back to sleeping regularly, instead of banging my head against the wall.
Oh, and in case you were asking yourself: -Well, what games does this loser have, then?- I mostly deal on RPG's, say... Knights Of The Old Republic, The Sith Lords, Spellforce, Neverwinter Nights, perhaps some adventure like LEGO Star Wars, Legacy of Kain series, Prince of Persia series, unknown shooters like Call of Juarez, etc. See my predicament?? Not very highlited games in icon packages..

To work dockzip's you need to have objectdock. You can open the files within object dock. After that i believe you can find the object dock file they are extracted to and use them for vista icons.
I will try to add some of your requests to my next pack. I will continue making icons, however not as fast as i made these first two packs. Its a little bit time consuming to find pictures of high enough quality to use (800x800 or greater), as well as prepare certain parts for the icon. Some icons take 2 minutes, others take 30.
Part of the reason we focus on the current games is because they are in the highest demand. I have been adding fewer mainstream games and focusing on requests. I will add your requests to the next pack. If a game does not make it in the pack its because i was unable to find suitable pictures. I don't want to produce bad work for my own pride and so people know they are getting something well done. When i download an icon I am excited for and it turns out bad, it ***ses me off.

Why, thank you for answering!! As far as dockzip thingies go, I'm still in the shadows. I already have object dock installed, and I've gone and thrown dockzips into the main folder, the backgrounds folder and finaly the images folder, but the things don't appear in the desktop menus. Oh, well... Oh, and don't worry about making me some requested icons, I mean, that would be neat, but I'm sure you must be full of work as it is. I agree, quality standards should never be dismissed!!

Jedijax,
for me, to install dockzips... i merely double-click on them and it gets added to my OD library. Another way you can add them to your library is from within the ObjectDock Properties window (either click the Configure ObjectDock button if it's on your dock, or right-click on your dock and click on "Dock Settings"). Inside of the Properties window (I'm using version 1.9, i'm assuming you'll be seeing what im seeing or at least something VERY similar) click on "Themes" on the left hand side of that window. Upon doing this, you will see in the main portion of the Properties window, there will have a button that says "Import a package," if you click on that, it will allow you to browse through your computer, locate the dockzip file(s) and install/add them to your ObjectDock image library.
I hope this helps and that you are able to understand it. Ez.

Starcraft
Warcraft III
Portal
Half-Life 2 Episodes 1 and 2 and Lost Coast
Garry's Mod (HL2 Mod)

Mr_Diablo, if you have ObjectDock installed--this is not the same as Object Desktop--then when you click the download link, the dialog that pops up should indicate that you are downloading a dockzip file. Allow the default program (ObjectDock) to open it, and OD should automatically place the icon files in your OD library, where they will be available to use when you create a new shortcut for your dock. I hope this helps.
Shortie, I'm downloading all of your sets presently. They're very nice.

I need several game icons. I need Starfleet Command Orion Pirates, Starfleet Command 3, Civilization 3, Fargate, Age of mythology & its expansion pack, the Titans, Imperium Galactica 2; Alliances, Empire Earth & it's expansion pack, the Art of Conquest, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and its expansion pack (I don't have it yet so I don't know what it's called . . . something to do with aliens, I gather), Black & White (I've seen an icon for its expansion but not for the game itself), Black & White 2, Sim Tower, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds (Get the name right, don't confuse it with Star Wars Galaxy, etc. It's from Blizzard), and if I think of any more, I'll try to get back here. (Yeah, most o' those are relatively old school, but, hey, they play really well!)

Guys, i need images though. The most time consuming part of this is finding high quality images to make these icons. If you can help me find 500x500 pixel+ images i would have time to make all of these oldschool requests. The problem is the oldschool games do not have many images to choose from. Also i am looking for somebody to take this on from here. The bottom line is i do not have time. Source files would be provided, all i would request is notoriety and periodical updates of the files success. Please private message me if you are interested.
