    Voucher: DEFC0-N4GMG-FUTU4
    Register, put the game in your cart, input voucher, and you'll get a download link with serial key. All for free.

    Details: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=281048

    Doesn't seem a 10/10 game, but free is free.

    Oh, just a note:
    You need to use their steam-like application to get it.
    If you don't want to for some reason, the game gets you 1 euro in their store if you trade it in.
    You'll probably still need the capsule thing if you spend the euro on another game, but that's up to you.

    Ok. DO NOT download it through Capsule, Download the demo from the official DEFCON site, then start it. Use the code from OP's post to buy DEFCON, then when it gives you the "AAAAAA-BBBBBB-CCCCCC-DDDDDD-EEE" code, take note of it. Start up the Demo DLed for the official site, then enter the code.
    Gets you the full game without bloatware (capsule).
    Also might be possible to use your serial for the linux or mac osx version. I haven't tried though.

    Where do you input the voucher code? Do I still need CC details?

    There's a green or orange (I forget) button on the left just above the prices on the final checkout page.
    You click that and paste it in.

    You don't need CC details if you've done it right.

    Cheers OP :D

    Edit: Bit slow and laggy to play... Will give it a few more days :)

    €4.50 on steam, if you want the convenience.

    This is actually a great game, i bought it a few years ago. Simple but very nice looking graphics, and very nice music. And you get to kill millions of people :pac:
    Well worth it.

    Id also recommend the game Uplink made by the same people. Great if you ever thought hacking in the movies was really cool.

    I love you OP, I love you.


    **How to use the DEFCON license you get without using Capsule**

    Just before you do this, don't download Capsule. This method means you don't need Capsule, and you can launch as a shortcut through Steam.
    • Register on the site, add DEFCON to the cart, and enter OP's code to buy it.
    • Take note of the "AAAAAA-BBBBBB-CCCCCC-DDDDDD-EEE" code it gives you, as this is the serial no. for the game.
    • Download the DEFCON demo from the official site
    • Start up the demo, enter the "AAAAAA-BBBBBB-CCCCCC-DDDDDD-EEE", complete with hyphens ( - ) in between the strings of characters.
    • You might be able to now trade the game back in for €1, thus meansing the next steps are:
    • ???????????
    • Profit! Maybe

    I don't think this works if you download the DEFCON demo through steam, as Steam relies on it's servers to show if you own the game. Either way, enjoy DEFCON!

    The buy option in the game just brings me to the official site to pay for it.

    Is this where you enter OP's code?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,569 ✭✭✭✭Tallon


    You have to register first, then select buy now and enter the code
