The Fifth Horseman's stuff

[The Fifth Horseman]

Allright. So, as promised looong ago, a (long) list of games I can offer to Abandonia. I don't remember all the titles you already have on the site, but I've tried to omit mentioning the ones I know of. I don't know which ones are abandonware and which are not, though. I also take no responsibility for any possible data storage failures which may lead to my inability to provide one game or another. (just while writind this list I found that one of the CD's actually got holes in it and is unreadable... looks much like swiss cheese, if you know what do I mean).

Abuse (awesome platform game; with all the docs and the editor included - you can actually create your own levels and entire Abuse-engine-based games with that!)

Action Supercross (biker - you need to collect all items from a level, and those can be vicious sometimes; fun, even if the graphics are ugly)

AD&D - Al Qadim the Genie's Curse (role-playing)

Alien Breed (top-down view shooter; pretty nice, but I just don't like it...)

Amazing Spider-Man (Simple platform game with logic puzzle elements. Pretty interesting too. And yes, you are Spider-Man.)

Battletech: Crescent Hawks Inception (same game, but I have two exe's modified so that in one you have a custom Assault class mech instead of Chameleon, in other it's a MadCat for all those Clan lovers)

Battletech: Crescent Hawks Revenge (first RTS ever produced, a worthy precedessor of MechCommander - those who played MC won't find the basic principles of the game too much different; difficulty is kind of insane, though; with self-written editor tool and I can rip out the music as well; think I have also some walkthroughs somwhere; if any of you like messing around with hexadecimals, I have written a full-blown instruction on how to do thattoo...)

Blackthorne (aka Black Hawk) (V. good platform game by Blizzard - unsure if abandoned, though. Was released somwhere around the time of Warcraft 1.)

Blake Stone 3D (Kinda like Wolfenstein 3D, but better, including many features one can think of as missing on the original Wolf)

C64 Emulator + Rom for Knight Rider (old, not really that much fun, but can be used to kill time; works on everything from 486 and up)

Capture the Flag (based upon the game known and loved by so many... yep, almost the same. Player vs player or player vs computer)

Castle of the Winds 1&2 (Win-based precursor to Diablo. Horrible graphics, but the game is quite fun to play)

Chessmaster 2000 (old chess game - make no mistake, the program is wee powerful...

Commander Keen 1-3 (old platform game series by ID; the first three parts are rather boring)

Commander keen 4-6 (same series, but with improved music, graphics and gameplay - you can actually like them)

Conan the Barbarian (RPG game based upon characters and world created by Robert Ervin Howard. What, never heard of him?)

Covert Action (Wanted to be a secret agent? Well, now you are! I have the docs for this game somwhere...)

DarkSeed 1 (Horror-adventure game. Lots of graphics done by Hans Rudi Giger. A few major bugs, though, and it's easy to fail paicking up some obscure item and failing to complete the game. Similar about obscure actions...)

Day of the Tentacle (Good old Lucasarts adventure game with SCUMM interface. Full of funny gags too.)

Descent (Yup, that's it)

Desert Strike: Return to the Gulf (shooter-simulator of sorts; AWESOME)

D-Generation (Logic/action game. Fun.)

Dino Park Tycoon (sort like Theme Park series, but with a Jurassic Park twist to it

Dinosaur Safari (interesting game; you get paid for travelling in past and taking photos or videos of dinosaurs - some of the beasts can be fairly dangerous!; long, but enjoyable enough to complete; a degree of educational value, very good to occupy dinomaniac kids for a while; BIG, somwhere around 250 MB)

Disney's Alladdin (platform game; fun even)

Doom & Doom 2 (the old shooter legends... what else I need to say)

Duck Tales (Mixed arcade/platform game, not recommended for adults, but good for kids who happen to be donald duck fans.)

Duke Nukem (full version here)

Duke Nukem 2 (full version, allright)

Duke Nukem 3D (with one of the expansion packs, not sure which one; is it ABW?!?!?!)

Dune II (okay, not sure if Abandonia does not already have it)

Dyna Blaster (very old, but enjoyable game... hard to describe)

Earthsiege 1 (a good mech combat game - maybe worth giving it a try?)

Earthsiege 2 (I have a full-CD version. Maybe I could try to do some ripping around it, though?)

Electro Man (almost the same as the Electro Body game, except for slightly different graphics and music; hell, even the levels are every jot the same; in case you wondered- a platform game with a pretty high difficulty)

Entombed (puzzle game... kind of like Myst and the sort...)

Epic Pinball (Full version, IIRC. Good game, anyway, though nowhere comparable to Pinball Illusions)

Fatty Bear's Birthday Adventure (adventure game for younger audience; some degree of mini-games and extra activities inside the program too - worth considering, if you want to occupy a younger member of your family for a while with a non-violence-including game)

Gabriel Knight 1 (full-cd version... not sure if ABW or not)

Golden Axe (An oldie beatem-up genre game. One or two players. Graphics and sound are decent. Very arcade in style)

Heretic 1 (similar to Doom, just in a fantasy setting)

Hitch-Hiker's Guide to Galaxy (text adventure based upon the book by Douglas Adams)

Home Alone (based on the movie under the same title - fun, quick, interesting)

Hound of the Shadow (text-based adventure game based on Cthulhu Mythos; didn't like it much, but I have it on my HDD anyway. Manual included.)

Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis (Very good SCUMM interface game by LucasArts. One of my definite adventure favourites out there.)

Indiana Jones and the last crusade (Adventure game. Scumm-precedessor inteface, with lots of unneccesary commands. Graphics can be repaulsive at some moments)

Island of Doctor Brain (great logic game)

Jill of the Jungle 1 (smalll Epic Megagames platform game; fairly good)

Jones in the fast lane (kind of weird game... the very idea cannot be summed up shortly enough to write here)

Keen Dreams (Another Commander Keen game)

Laser Squad (old turn-based tactical strategy, slightly resembling the UFO series)

Leisure Suit Larry 1-3, 5-6 (who needs to speak more?)

Lion King (Another platform game. Disney license, produced by Virgin, yes, it's based upon the animated movie of same title...)

Loom (old, but fine, adventure game)

Lords of the Realm (One of the coolest turn-based medieval strategies ever. Floppy version, so you can only fight in England. Ever wanted to design your own castles? Now you can! Oh, and altough I've got the docs, they are 1. too big to type in and 2. in Polish language so OCR programs wouldn't do much good either (and this assuming I would get access to some scanner)

Lotus 3 (old racing game from loong ago)

Lure of the Temptress (old adventure game - kind of interesting)

Manhunter (An old adventure/puzzle game. Not too good)

Mech Warrior 1 (This aint a joke - fully functional copy of the very first game in Mech Warrior series. Manual included.)

MechWar (A 12-year old Battletech game written by a fan of the boardgame. Two players, hotseat only. Includes all the original docs and tools)

Metal Mutant (Beatem-up game... that pretty much sums it up)

Neuromancer (based on Gibson's book under the same title; interesting to play too, though I did not have the patience to get anywhere far)

Ninja Gaiden II (Platform game, excellent graphics and music, gameplay does not leave anything to be desired too)

North & South (a strategy game dating back to times of Amiga. Not bad...)

Operation Wolf (arcade shooter)

Out of This World (Windows-operating conversion of Another World. Gameplay pretty much the same, music slightly different because in Midi format. Does not need any slow-down tool nor Dos emulator to use)

Pinbal Illusions (two versions - the floppy version and the CD version; each has some flaws, unfortunately - nothing major, but can sometimes be annoying)

Pinball fantasies (not the best pinball I know, but for those who like pinball games it is sure worth their time)

Power Dolls (turn-based strategy game... interesting somewhat)

Prehistorik 1 (good old platform game; didn't hear of it?)

Prehistorik 2 (Sequel to Prehistorik. Slightly better graphics, gameplay just more of the same.)

Prince of Persia (the most classic platform game - maybe only except Flashback...)

Prince of Persia 2 (More difficult and advanced then PoP, with some minor logic puzzle here and there. Not much more to say.)

Quake 1 (Is it ABW, though? Not sure... Anyhow, includes all four episodes, but the fourth seems to be broken and locks up when loading)

Rampart (building a fortress, fighting with enemy fortresses and ships)

Raptor: call of the shadows (sooo old... sooo fun; top-down scrolling shooter, not unlike Tyrian; has a bit more realisitic graphics and storyline is minimum - destruction is all that matters)

Rex Nebula and the cosmic gender bender (adventure; quite humorous)

Robinson's Requiem (Survival/RPG with extreme realism in some terms - except the setting. Excellent choice, anyway)

Robocop (ancient shootem-up/beatem-up game; very arcade-like, with high difficulty level; based upon an OBVIOUS movie title...)

Robocop 3 (based upon Robocop 3, naturally; you can play the movie storyline - and there is one or two what-if options too, or play each type of level as a mini-game; vector-based graphics; kind of interesting, but playability leaves alot to be desired)

Sam and Max hit the road (funny old adventure game with plenty of humour)

Secret Agent 1-3 (Old game series by Apogee... unbelievably addictive. Third part is broken, so you can get to almost completing it, but unfortunately it locks up before the last level)

Shadow of the Comet (Adventure game with maybe a little complicated interface, but nice otherwise. Mmm, Cthulhu Mythos...)

SimAnt (another in Maxis SIM series - simulation of an ant colony; can be played as sort of campaign or experimental mode, like when you have an ant farm; campaign is easy to complete when you get how to win in the first area and then spread to the others; still fun, though)

Simcity 2000 (one of the games from simcity series; still good for its age)

Simearth (another of SIM series - you control an enviroment of a whole planet here)

Simlife (create your own lifeforms and introduce them into a normal enviroment or create your own flora and fauna all from scratch)

Simfarm (like simcity, but about building your own farm)

Space Crusade (similar somewhat to HeroQuest, designed for 1-3 players; for 1 player it's not fun at all, though; music is c***tastic; includes docs and MOD music from Amiga version, which is ten times better)

Star Trek: 25th Anniversary (I'm not sure if you already don't have it here, though.)

Street Fighter 2 (second in the ever-popular Street Fighter series)

Super Star Wars (platform game, with a few pseudo-3d levels; fun)

Syndicate (Team strategy game. Very interesting, with good graphics and sound.)

Terminator 2 (Arcade/beatem-up mix. Ripped straight off the movie.)

Ugh (Old arcade/logic hybrid. Stone age flying taxi sums it up pretty well, even if it makes little sense when reading first time)

Warcraft 1 (Eww... I don't think Blizzard ever stopped selling any one of their games. Or did they?)

Warlords 2 (turn based strategy - very interesting, very addictive)

Ween (myst-like adventure game... pretty simple, but can sometimes be annoying too)

Where in the World is Carmen San Diego (Puzzle/detective game. Kind of fun too.)

Yoda Stories (simple, yet entertaining, adventure game for Win 9x)

A while ago a friend of mine gave me a CD compilation of all oldies he could find, and so I'm listing what other games I found in there, but did not check them out.

As for non-game programs, I have some DOS-operating MOD players, and, I think, some version of ProTracker (though never used it). I also have a copy of Screen Thief, which is a DOS-based screen capture program (very nice, BTW)

Well, I think that's about all... back to playing Bloodrayne, then :[*
What, never saw a Vampire smiley before? Well, now you did!

[Omuletzu]

Please send ST(Screen thief).
I only have the shareware version, and the program is probably abw by now

[Tuttle]

Screen Thief was eventually released as freeware -- ftp://ftp.externet.hu/pub/mirror/sac/graph/st201f.zip (very slow download link; good thing it's only 37 KB. :D)

If you need docs for it then the old 1.58 shareware release is also available at ftp://ftp.externet.hu/pub/mirror/sac/graph/st158.zip.

[The Niles]

Impressive list. I only glanced at it right now but I do see many games are either already on the site or are not abandoned yet. Give us some time to digest this and we will get back to you.

[TaloN]

rise of the triad is awesome

[The Fifth Horseman]

many games are either already on the site or are not abandoned yet
:tnx:
Okay, my fault. I did not list ones I was sure of to not be ABW or already around, but I guess nobody's perfect... :unsure:

Anyhow, the compilation from my friend contains a lot more files... I just did not have the patience to write them all down. So, if you need anything, I might just be lucky enough to have it. :max:

I would have MUCH more, but unfortunately one of my best game CD's broke two years ago. Sad, cos it had a lot of stuff on it. :not_ok: :not_ok: :not_ok:

PS. I'll be writing my review for Crescent Hawks Revenge soon, Picard! Fear it! :evil:

[marko river]

As for the Amazing Spiderman, Conan the Barbarian and First Samurai, THEY ARE ALL MINE!!!!

I was quite into these games. Currently I'm doing some C64 conversions, but I guess I'll finish all of this games very soon.

Still, there are several that I still don't have.

[Wael]

I´ll make a list /-

Fine by me but I cannot quarentee that game will make it on the site. We are actually serious on not having games that are not good enough. Write the review and we will have an objective look at it I promise but no quarentees.

What does it means, no games that aren't good enough.

Why da hell Kosta doesn't want some really old games?? They can actually improve our rating and drag more people. Yes, they CAN!

So? What's a big deal if game is that old?

[The Fifth Horseman]

Don't argue. Picard simply could not cope with the game's interface, that to speak the truth, was not its highest point.

The age of a game is unimportant the quality of it is. I don't think you will dissagree with me that there are games out there that are not worth playing because they are too awefull to play (not naming names but they exist). kosta made a concious decision when he set up Abandonia that no games would get on abandonia that were so bad no-one would want to play them anyway just so he could say there where "X" number of games on abandonia. That quality threshold still exists today.

on un unrelated note, in future, when you have questions or do not understand something express yourself more civilized then you have just now. Take your time to write posts and be polite.

[The Fifth Horseman]

Anyhow, I'd deliver the list quicker, but when my hardware crashed it was impossible - two months of delay and most of the games made their way to Abandonia from other sources, as I can see.

Hope you'll find a few you can use, still.

Didn't realized that I was offendive. Nor I wanted to be. Well, too late now.

Kosta told me that he wants no CGA game. What if game is CGA but still very fun?
Is the quality of game measured by interest of the people, palyability or something else?

[Wael]

Or I was making a list until I cleverly hit the refresh button in the reply screen,
after checking the status of 3/4 of the games -/

Go me /-

[marko river]

Anyone interested in 5th-fleet?

I have it but never really played it. Maybe site doesn't have even the archive.

Any admin that can tell me?

[The Fifth Horseman]

No haste, Wael. Cd's aint running away, you know...

There are already some CGA games on the site so a very good CGA game may still be added. Gameplay is the most important. Good gameplay will be followed by popularity so a popular game will have good gameplay (name me one game with which that is not true).

We also need to look at the niche Abandonia is in. Everyone knows that we do not provide emulators for consoles and our speciality is in quality DOS games from the early nineties. This does not mean that any game older or younger then that is out of the question but we add more of the games then others. Other sites specialize in other games. XTC abandonware for instance has a lot of the really old games. The underdogs try to get as many of the forgotten games as possible.

In short, games will be looked at on a case by case basis but not every game will be added to the site simply because it is abandoned.

I have it but never really played it. Maybe site doesn't have even the archive.

I don't think anyone has thearchive for this and it is not on the list of games waiting to be reviewed. Maybe you could play it and write a review for it?

Well, maybe we should change the name of the site into abandoned-best :D

Just kidding. As for playing 5th-fleet, I doub that will happen in next few months. As for the archive, I guess I should say that it is not taken form underdogs, I kind of dislike that.

[Tulac]

I already offered my list it's on ftp, It wouldn't be smart posting it here since it would take several pages of the forum.Anyone really interested in some of the games from the list can PM me and I can send them to you(if they're ABW , don't wan't to brake any laws), be warned I'm on 56k.

[The Niles]

Team 17's games are not abandoned and we do not have permission to distribute them. Sorry.

[goblins]

a very very big list still

[Yamcha]

elastomania is a great game. Took me some time to find the full version. But damn its good (and funny :D)

[Wael]

Unfortunately,
It STILL is shareware,
therefore nothing for the site... /-

[FreeFreddy]

Blake Stone - Aliens of Gold and Planet Strike are both very good games and I think they should be added to the site if they're abandoned.

[The Fifth Horseman]

Okay, thanks.
Crescent Hawks Revenge was delayed from another source because of Picard's review, which, unfortunately, gave Kosta a wrong impression about the game. Come on, the thing was nominated for Game of the Year. How can it be so bad he described? I'm going to correct that error soon.
Fatty bears bithday adventure is not a joke. I got this game free with the old PC (along a bunch of others)
Mechwar war never a sold game, actually. It was one man's fan-job, distributed for free via BBS'es. HOTU does distribute it, and the readme written by author confirms that as long as the code is left in the original form, and all the content of archive together, it can be freely redistributed. Freeware.
OOTW, as said, works under XP without any Dos emulator, with full music and sound. Worth considering as an alternate option for XP users.
Secret Agent - Apogee, somwhere around 1991, IIRC.
Terminator 2 -was there more then one game of this title?

The Adventures of Zak Mc Kraken seem to have been a previous part to the ZMC game you already have on the site. Logically, it is by almost 100% sure to be ABW.

I don't see Ishar 2...
Millenium = sort like Master of Orion.
Spear of Destiny = enchanced Wolfenstein 3D with different levels and plot. Still popular, as can be seen in mods like Spear:Resurrection or WolfenDoom.
Two of the later Ultimas seem to be already here, but I have also got the previous parts, so it might be useful.

I see I can still contribute a fair amount of things. :Brain:

[The Fifth Horseman]

Rex Nebular nad the Cosmic Genderbender: ESA member, according to HOTU.

quite a list there to choose from - i guess the best of the rest might get a showing here.

[The Fifth Horseman]

According to 3dRealms store: (http://store.yahoo.com/3drealms/)

Blake Stone: Still sold

Duke Nukem: Still sold

Commander Keen: 1-5 Still sold. 6 unknown.

Rise of the Triad: Still sold

Secret Agent: Still sold

[goblins]

oh my god would they still sell any large revenues in Rise of the triad or commander keen LOL - maybe a few hundred $$$ on a gloabl basis.

[JJXB]

heretic is a id software game i think (i doubt that it's abandoned)

[Tom Henrik]

It isn't.

[JJXB]

heretic is still being sold here (http://www.idsoftware.com/games/hexen/heretic/)

[Omuletzu]

I think it would be wise to create a non-reply forum, where people can post the games they can provide, and the admins can go over them.
Either that, or the lists should be uploaded directly to the server, so the admins can view them.

[goblins]

at least ID support the old games with somewhere you can pay to get a new copy unlike games like the old seirra games / and 1602 AD and the ESA members which make their software titles non abandonware but mostly fail to provide game players who want the old games somewhere they can purchase them ?

Its quite a silly stance. either its supported and sold or its abandoned and no longer sold.

[The Fifth Horseman]

Intellectual Property is a big word, Goblins...

I´ll update the list as situtations arise /-

AND STOP GOING OFFTOPIC /-

[goblins]

ok then the other option is to make that stale unsold intellectual property commercially available even if only through their own website ie similar to the apple itunes pay for download legal copies of music files for $1 a peiece for ipods

Games companies with very old titles could make say each game $1 a peice you could pay $5 payment and get 5 old titles in return with a download link specific to each buyer - it would be valid for 1 week only.

That way they would still be selling the game and could justify protecting their Intellectual property - quite a few smaller game producers actually distribute their games this way esp shareware companies when players register to get the full version they pay their $10 or so and get a link via email to download the full version game

On this specific issue what is stopping the companies from doing this.

I agree illegal warez is wrong -

But if the companies in question and there are many have stopped supporting their product and remain intent on protecting it from illegal distribtuion - perhaps those wanting to buy the game and cant shoudl email them and ask for this legal payable download option for early titles ?

[goblins]

wael what about ad 1602 on mobygames i cant find the link ?

[Wael]

1602 A.D (http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/p,3/gameId,2294/)
Still sold /-

[goblins]

gameswharehouse.com.au dont have any in stock -

chipsandbits is a USA site and i dont care to pay excessive shipping charges

[The Fifth Horseman]

Okay, seems like I actually still can contribute several dozen titles... :cheers:

[Sebatianos]

Excelent!
But who'll do all the reviews (I'm a bit busy right now :whistle: ).
:cheers:

[The Fifth Horseman]

For some of them I can write the reviews myself, but not for all. For example, I'm not really a fan of cRPG, and just would not have the patience to play them long enough to get a review with screenshots.

This pretty much means most of the titles present on the first list.

I'm certainly not going to pass the opportunity of reviewing MechWarrior 1 to anybody else...

[The_X]

Yeah lets get all the games up for downlaod!

[The Fifth Horseman]

Cross out Street Fighter 2, seems that Abandonia already has it.

Sincce SF 2 is ABW, it would be logical to assume that SF 1 is ABW as well.

The_X, if you are so eager to see them all for download then in the meantime take a while to help the Abandonia crew by reviewing some of the games they have already got that need only reviews to be put up.
Or if you don't want to write reviews, then donate to the site for the bandwidth you will use when downloading the games. This way you will help in maintaining the site and verybody will be happy.

[Wael]

Thank you,
I´ll update the list as it goes /-

[goblins]

all very good games - but reviews are needed and screenshots - they should have enough games now to put up 2 or 3 a day for a few months at least LOL. Still good to have them handy and ready.

[wormpaul]

We got enough members to review....

Just have some patience :whistle:

[The Fifth Horseman]

As said, I'll try to supply some reviews myself, but I'm in the final class of a high school, and still need to learn Turbo Pascal for the exams at the end of the schoolyear - so my time will be grossly limited.

[The Fifth Horseman]

So, how is it going? When can I send you any of the games (note - I take the responsibility of ensuring that each game is functioning on myself)?

Note that the following still need confirmation, the list of confirmed games went to Kosta just a minute ago.

Castle of the winds 2 confirmed. HOTU has it, Amazon.com: not stocked/discontinued, Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_of_the_Winds) informs that in 1998 the author has released the game as free domain. This qualifies it for the site, I think.

[The Fifth Horseman]

Preparing the packages for Kosta...

[Barrett]

Sorry just a quick question Horseman, see with ure amazing spiderman, Is it the game where ure spiderman character is pretty small, and every so often u come to a room with a moving floor thing which put ure energy back up ?
cos if its the game im thinking of i defenately want it.
Cheers

[The Fifth Horseman]

Yep, tis' th' one. Checked the copy yesterday evening - works under latest DosBox without any problems.

Current status: 16 games have been checked, about twice that number to go.
I'll have a hard time cleaning the configs and saves from some, but I managed to do that with Crescent Hawks Revenge easily (just changed names of the save slots in the file and then zeroed out the rest of it), and the rest will follow soon. See, in a few cases I am erasing old configs/scores/saves right away, wile in others I'll do that later.
I am also sorting out through my entire colelction of game extras, so a number of the games will come along with manual, copy protection codes (if needed) and so on.

[Barrett]

Safe man I cant wait to get my hands on that spidey game again then any ideas for when it will be on here ?

[Wael]

It can also be found here (http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=47) /-

And if you would be intrested enough to review it,
we would all apreciate it, and then you should contact one of the admins /-

[The Fifth Horseman]

Barrett, should be ready for review somwhere next week. You will be able to apply for reviewing it to Kosta then.

Hmm... after I checked another CD for a copy of Pinball Fantasies (the other one was not working for some reason), I found a bunch of other Pinballs too...
Epic Pinball 1-3
Pinball Dreams 2
Pinball Extreme
Pinball Living Ball
Pinball Psycho
Pinball World

I also found Pinball Dreams 1, but in a file with a DDI extension and don't know what to do with that.

[Barrett]

[Reaperman]

5th Horseman, if you could send me MechWarrior, and Hitchikers Guide, That would be most appreciated!

Reaperman, I forgot about the Guide. MechWarrior will be sent to Kosta today, so just apply for review if you like. If you won't, then I'll review it shortly.

I'll move them to the directory where we're keeping stuff for reviewers and send you the links.

New videos! Finally! :OK:

[The Fifth Horseman]

Uploading the best of my Lost Vikings 2 gameplay videos taken today. It's not as flawless as I'd wanted, but it'll do.

[The Fifth Horseman]

Uploading MP3s with the music from Norse by Norsewest - The Return of the Lost Vikings .

[The Fifth Horseman]

Uploaded CyberGladiators (full disc image for reviewer; will work on ripping it later);
Uploaded Warcraft II. This is a complete archive containing both Tides of Darkness and Beyond the Dark Portal, with full voiceovers and cutscenes - only thing left out are the CD-audio tracks from the game discs (the game contains the same tracks in MIDI format, so technically speaking the only losses there are a slight reduction in quality and the absence of one "hidden" bonus track).

EDIT: Warcraft II is v 1.3 . There's a newer patch. To patch it, rename W2.exe to war2.exe, run the patch installer, then rename war2.exe back to w2.exe

Uploaded: Zombie Wars review and screenshots.

Thanks 5th :OK:

[TotalAnarchy]

7 years in the making. :p

[The Fifth Horseman]

Uploaded a ripped version of MechCommander 2. Just a meg under our effective size limit. Instead of removing anything, the videos and sound have been downsampled by about 50%.

[The Fifth Horseman]

Uploaded a ripped version of MechCommander. The music is downsampled, the intro had to be removed and so had to be zoomed in versions of the sprites. 240 MB, give or take a few.

[The Fifth Horseman]

Replaced with a version where the videos have been downsampled (thanks, Expack2!). 257 MB.

Uploaded intro and outro from Esoteria.
