    Nice one Bazh. I'll sticky this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,592 ✭✭✭✭Dont be at yourself


    Rockstar give away GTA1 (and possibly the London expansion and/or GTA2) free on their website, don't they?

    Then there's Bridge Builder and Elastomania

    And for abandonware: www.the-underdogs.org, which has System Shock II, amongst others, I think.

    Alien Shooter is worth the 20 meg download. Just give it a little time...whenl you can afford the minigun ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,118 ✭✭✭LoBo


    Betrayal at Krondor download more info
    pic1.jpg

    Released as freeware to promote a sequel a few years ago. Dated graphics but excellent game, with heavy involvement from Reimond E. Feist himself insuring a pretty good plot and characters :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,118 ✭✭✭LoBo


    thought of another one. (and no more demos folks, how about full free games only)

    Armagetron download
    screenshot15.jpg
    try this one - great multiplayer


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,446 ✭✭✭✭amp


    Don't think anybodies posted a demo link yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,118 ✭✭✭LoBo


    I can't find any non-demo free versions for elastomania and alien hunter in the links above. Though at least elastomania doesn't stop after 10 mins play :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,446 ✭✭✭✭amp


    Fair enough. As the man says, no demos :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,225 ✭✭✭Scruff


    there are a list of a few good one on this thread here but the link to the site that has some of them doesnt work any more


    bloody hell! Downloaded and ran that neverball game and when i tried to exit the game it gave my first ever Blue Screen of Death on WinXP. how bizarre.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,880 ✭✭✭Raphael

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,090 ✭✭✭jill_valentine


    HOTU stopped hosting System Shock 2, so without actually breaking the rules of the forum, I just want to know if its even possible to download it anymore?

    Hmmm it seems to have left abandonware status and is back on a budget label so I'm afraid it would be breaking the rules. I think somebody must have told EA and they saw $ signs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,090 ✭✭✭jill_valentine


    :eek:

    It's buyable again!?!?!

    Where!?! Other than the internet (No credit card..)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,446 ✭✭✭✭amp


    Tribes 1 and 2 are now free downloads and can be downloaded from Fileplanet. Vivendi are using it to pimp Tribes: Vengence.

    **** i dunno :D I remember someone posting about a free babylon 5 game a good while back, I assumed this was it

    Im downloading now anyway and we'll see :dunno:

    EDIT: All I can do is post a bit from the readme because the damn thing keeps locking up on me:mad:

    "IFH (I've Found Her) is the computer game project maintained by Space Dream Factory. Its storyline is based upon the popular Sci-Fi TV show Babylon 5, so the project is completely noncommercial and should be considered as a kind of fan-fiction.What is IFH: Danger and Opportunity?

    "IFH: Danger and Opportunity is the prequel campaign to the main IFH campaign that hopefully will be made in the future. This is the first complete and playable game produced by SDF and made available to the public."

    try fileplanet.com

    or try typing 'gta' into the search box on filemirrors.com
    i think the zip file is 200mb+ (it includes all of the radio stations in a compressed format)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 520 ✭✭✭Co33iE


    most of the downloads on filemirrors would be warez just so u know before downloading.

    I've loved GTA! It worked great under win98 with a plain voodoo card. I emailed rockster and got the link to download GTA again. Unfortunately I'm on a single channel ISDN (no chance of bb) and I got 120Mb before it timed out and the link doesn't resume but from scratch. Aaargh! Please could someone do me a big favour and put it on a resumable ftp site that you might have? :confused: I'd love to get into that game again! :)

    can't you use a download manager to pause/resuse downloads?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,766 ✭✭✭hamster

    Hi Robert,

    I was using getRight but the link that Rockster provided me with doesn't allow resumes that is why I'm hoping someone has a copy already that I can ftp & resume from. :dunno:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL
