**** i dunno 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)

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? I'd love to get into that game again!

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

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:

KdjaCL

rockstar have they will only give written permission for it to be hosted elsewhere.

I got Gunbound there yesterday. Quite fun, 100mb download. Worms like game. Screenshot The in-game chat is fun. Done using speech bubbles which can be a bit of a laugh.
Worth checking out imo.

Some sort of MS-made multiplayer spaceship team combat game. Looks good and is now free (including source). Will download and try this out .. hope it puts my snazzy new joystick to good use

Allegiance, the multiplayer space-combat game from the minds of Microsoft Research, combines the challenges of tactical squadron-based combat, intense one-on-one space dogfights, and amazing graphical and sound effects into a space-action experience like nothing you've seen before.

downloaded this and tried to install it. When installing it says you have to be connected to the internet to get a Key for it. Fair nuff. but the page to give me the key is returning an error. Also says on the next install screen:

"and you MUST be connected to the internet when you run the game"

That sucks, why do you need that when you're playing the single player campaigns? smells of spyware to me....
