Sojourn Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Hello All,I am new to this forum. I bought Emperor a few years ago and it was awsome. However my computer crashed and I just got a new one now. The problem is that i Lost Disc One which is the install Disc. I have the other three Atreides, Harkonnen and Ordos. I have been frantically searching my house and the web to find it but to no luck. Hopefully a memeber here knows where to get a download or a copy of the disc. Thanks for your helpNate.
thesnake Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 i hurd of some downloading links to the game provided by some smart members of this communety but i dont know who they are or what the downloading links are... maybe someone will pm you the links soon..maybe 30 years from now ea will abandon this under sige poor game and leave us be..
veK Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 lol..btw the game isn't distributed anymore by EA, you can only get it on ebay or at some shop which still has it. but the fact that it isn't distributed anymore by EA makes it in my opinion half-legal to download ;D
thesnake Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 this is called totaly abandon ware..its strange peapol are still selling it..
Cyborg Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 this is called totaly abandon ware..echo(EA.abandons_software);"No, you git. They're holding on to their outdated software like a castaway on a piece of driftwood!"EA.sue("Your ass");
veK Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 no, the software isn't abandonned and free. that's why I called it the download "half-legal".it's still illegal by law, but in my opinion it's morally legal and I guess nobody would give a sh** except for EA.and yes, people are still selling it, I mentioned this. some stores still have the game but EA doesn't distribute it anymore. which means: if every copy is sold you can't the game anymore except from somebody who bought it because EA won't deliver any more copies to any shop.
thesnake Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 well not only ea killed dune but they olso dont want to release emp as abandon ware so that it may have more players or live longer..who will buy an old game from 6 years ago..thats why i want to chalnge eaand put them to the test....look at free space 2 communety 4 ex http://www.hard-light.net/forums/the game is newer than emp but the company gave them the open sorceand they do have links to download it..they made 10s of mods and remakesam waitting my self to playe wing commander saga ...
Timenn Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 The rules for this forum are quite clear. Discussion of obtaining pirated software is not allowed. I removed your link erjin.It may be abandonware, and EA may lack in supporting it, but abandonware is still illegal. Software companies usually don't try to stop it as they don't see themselves making money on their product anymore and want to spare themselves all the effort. Here, discussion over the legal status of abandonware is tolerated, but not on how to obtain it.Do not forget that this still is the offical Emperor board.
