neonext Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 go to a search engine and type in abandonware. if you can't buy it anywhere, chances are you can download it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerf Posted July 16, 2002 Author Share Posted July 16, 2002 thanx very much, ill go try it now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukeLeto Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Is "Command and Conquer 1: Tiberian Dawn" considered abandonware? ??? It's 7 years old, unsopported by Westwood, and you can't buy it in stores. (At least where I live, you can't.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Only the developer or publisher or whoever can make it legal to become abandonware. And to my knowledge it isn't, although it could be since it's been so dang long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonext Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 no it isn't abandonware yet, you won't find the original C&C easily available for download. aside from being able to still purchase it at some stores (and especially online stores), the download size would be too much without altering the contents (ripping out movies and such), and i think that is illegal unless done by the makers of the game themselves.

Anathema Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 Man I know a couple of shops that haven't changed their inventory for like 5 years. Lot's of classic (or just plain old) games can be found there, like the original Dune, MDK and stuff like that. Might as well be a museum :).

Caid Ivik Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 Where is Dune II: Battle for Arrakis? Where I seek, there's always just "Building of a Dynasty". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 I bet it's the same... ppl just like me just mess those names up and come with a total new one :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerf Posted August 3, 2002 Author Share Posted August 3, 2002 Yeah, people also messed up the Populous games aswell, calling Populous The Beginning various things like Populous 3, just to be confusing!Dune 1 is also abandonware, but it is still a great game, but it frequently gets mixed up with Frank Herbert's Dune. I dont know why, the games are quite different and have a very big time gap between them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidiware Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 tha FH D and D1 mixup is space... why mix them up, but ppl do... ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
