Free (old) games website?

[CptHawkeye]

I know there is a site out there that has all sorts of older games available for free download, but I lost the link when I reformatted. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

www.freeloader.com ?

i dunno whether they're still operating but they used to offer free games.

 

[CptHawkeye]

Nope, not quite

Cool site buts its not what I remember.

THe site I'm talking about, I was able to download System Shock not too long ago.

Its like for games that have now been abandoned by their developers.

Anyone know?>

 

[Dedalus]

no idea mate. would've been wise to backup some of your files before you formatted

Sounds like this is what you're looking for

 

[CptHawkeye]

Got it!

Thats it! Thanks man, now I've got a followup, from the same problem (the format)

I know there was a site which just listed hundreds of bittorrents that were being downloaded by people currently. I need to know this cause I lost my video editing software cd *smacks self* and need to download a copy. Thanks again!

yarrrrgh..me smells i pirate in these here parts.

stop it now. mods frowns on this, and so do i.

 

[Shuzer]

www.filerush.com is the only legal torrent listing I know of.. the other two that come to mind have alot of illegal apps, so I won't be linking to it here.

 

[CptHawkeye]

thanks

Thanks Dedalus, but you're wrong. Better luck next time.

Filerush was it, thanks again.

 

[Dedalus]

yeah, you were just getting dangerously close to piracy there, and i have a slight distaste for piracy if you didn't know

anyway, as long as it's legal and stuff, have fun.

the underdogs are NOT piracy related. SS2, Freespace 2, etc are available there, but those games are leagably attained from the site, as both are now abandonware/open source.

No one ever said Underdogs was a piracy site. Dedalus assumed Cpt wanted a link to sites with illegal torrents, that's why he said what was said.

oh wow!!! that underdogs site is really cool. i can just scroll through the list and see all these games i used to play like 8 years ago. afterburner, scorched earth... dinopark tycoon.... this is awesome.
