Noctropolis [Bethesda]

[Mickey Bitsko]

Has anyone played this? It looks very very strange. The painted art is very cool. I just came across it at my job (it's been a slow day) and will see if I can download it from home later.

[Kosta]

Looks cool, though pretty big

[Maerlyn]

I had a demo of that once upon a time, it did look pretty cool, also kind of an adult game.

I remember just starting the game, you have a dream of a woman sitting on your lap, taking off her top, and then mutating or something....it was a while ago.

[wormpaul]

ill take a look at it...

Maybe it's fun...otherwise never heard of it before :sneaky:

[Morrin]

Ech.. I don't like games with photographed characters!

[wormpaul]

The game is 344 MB...and i`m downloading now at a speed of 40 kb/s ...and that's so slowwwwwwww :sick: :sick:

Must download for more then 2 hours...and all that time i cant play ET on the internet :not_ok:

[Kosta]

Cool! I can't download it at all.... Keep it stored somewhere in case we decide to put it on Abandonia one day ;)

How did you get the link to download? Been looking for this one, Noctropolis, for yeeeears, ever since I sold my copy back in 1994/95 I've regretted it. Can't for the life of me understand why I didn't keep it - or finish it!

Please please, can somebody provide me with a link for downloading it? MANY MANY MANY thanx =)

Peace,
Gemini

Link removed...David

Here is it...you can choose english or Deutsch download at the bottom of the page...but the servers are not always online..so when it's offline look another day for it..maybe then it's online :angel:

[gemini73]

Hey thanks! It was quite unclear as to wether the downloads was disabled permanently or just temporarily - as said before; MANY thanks!
Can't wait to enjoy this one! And to whomever is hosting it - thank you very much too =)

[wormpaul]

No problem...hopefully the game works for you..i'm still trying it here :angel:

[Gormash]

I Remember having a legit copy of this and loving it.
Wonder where the disc went?

Anyways, I get a strange message saying "Error: No referrer string found. Please enable referrer logging for your browser and your firewall." when I try to download. Is it this you mentioned?

[Son_Of_The_Nephilim]

hey, guys, have you ever heard of an old adventure game called NOCTROPOLIS???
is there any chance you put it someday on abandonia?? i think it was released in 1994. i am searching for it too long now. i can't find it anywhere in the net

Noctropolis (http://www.goodolddays.net/pc/index.php?args=0;5;0;2;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;en;0;30 4;show;3;). 334Mb, so I doubt it... unless the game's so damn godly good that it just can't be lacking at all, and even then...

yeah you're right...it's not that great game anyway, I just have a personal obsession with it heheh
well, thanks for helping me out and sorry for posting this on the indy thread!!

[newtotheboard]

If I remember correctly it had to do with vampires, it is an adventure style game, I'm not sure but the name may have been necropolis or something like that. Anyway I was just curious as to if that may be abandonware and if you might could get it. Thanks

[newtotheboard]

sorry the name of the game is noctropolis

[Entrante]

You can find it *snip snip*

(Linked to a warez/ROM site)

You could get NES and SNES games (amongst others) from there, and Nintendo has outright banned this kind of downloads.

[GraveDigger]

Noctropolis is a CDROM games and I'm not sure if its abandonware or not, but its a rare and hard to find game. In case its abandonware then I have a cdrip in my oldgames collection, which is a little smaller than 19mb in size.

[Tom Henrik]

It's ESA protected.

[Entrante]

Ahem, you can say it is protected, but by no means is The Good Old days a warez page, nor dedicated to roms, even thought there are a few. Of course it contains software illegal to download, the same as Abandonia and every abandonware page, but I find it better-mannered delete the link and put "The game isn't abandonware" than putting that generic note.

[The Fifth Horseman]

If a site has downloads of ESA-protected games, we consider it a warez-site by definition.

[Tom Henrik]

I didn't say the site was dedicated to ROMs, I said it had ROMs on it. There's a difference there ;)

And as I have to keep strict rules in order to keep the deal I have got going with ESA (10 and 15 year rule), I have to do my part. Otherwise the 10-15 rule is jeopardized, and AB could (once again) loose a couple of hundred games. I try my best to avoid that.

[zelenog]

Can you add Noctropolis (1994) for DOS to Abandonia?

Published by Electronic Arts and developed by Flashpoint Productions, Inc.

This is a very good comix/horror game. If it is allowed, I can show you where you can download this game, or I can send you the original ISO of the game from my PC CD-ROM.

[The Fifth Horseman]

As an Electronic Arts game, it is ESA-protected until 2010.

[Lulu_Jane]

Sold at dps Bookshelf (http://www.dpsbooks.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=11_16_59&products_id=58)

[Paco]

hmm its used and there is only 1 Copy left. so that Buylink is invalid.

[Cluseck]

Doesn't that game has an unlimited protection because developer (Flashpoint Productions) was sold to Bethesda?

[The Fifth Horseman]

Thanks for pointing this out. Indeed, this should be under unlimited.

[marko river]

What matters developer? Isn't the publisher or some other license owner that counts?

[Expack2]

What matters developer? Isn't the publisher or some other license owner that counts?
If the developer or publisher's parent company has unlimited ESA protection, then said developer/publisher's games are also under unlimited ESA protection. Ergo, since Bethesda Softworks now owns Flashpoint Productions, all of Flashpoint Productions' games, including Noctropolis, are under unlimited ESA protection.

[marko river]

Yes, well, after I posted the question I realized that we definitely want to be sure and not provoke anyone, just in case.

Thx for explanation :)
