I was a little shaky about starting a new thread, but what the heck I searched to see if there was any topic like this. So if there is please just delete this thread and call me stupid. :D

Well let me get this one rolling. Does anyone remember Fallout and Fallout2? Great post nuclear war (hence fallout) RPG. Third person setting with more contols than you could shake a stick at. I am not quite sure if this is considered abandonware.

I do know however that LHX Attach Helicopter is abandonware and I would be happy to upload it along with a review and screenshots if anyone is interested.

Happy gaming and I love the site! :ok:

To answer your questions:
a)No this doesn't belong here... solved
b)Fallout has been discussed like 5 times before, so no go
c)I wanted to upload/review lhx, but it's been like 8 years since i last played it, so it would require me some time before i'd finish the review.Therefore i advise you to review it :ok: , it's people like you who keep the site running

Happy reviewing

fallout series are not abandonware.

with the fall of interplay the license has been bought up by others and fallout 3 is in production (think its bethasoft thats doing it)

fallout 1 and 2 will never be abandonware imo. go buy them for ?5 from soldout software (think they have a website) +

Yeah, the fallout games are not abandoned but they are very cheap, well worth the money, especially if you can get the Fallout collection (all three games).

Yobor

22-03-2005, 05:54 PM

Somehow, magically, I have original shelf-copies of all three games :D
But uploading your games is a great thing to do!

on the fallout not being abw issue, when they run out of stock permanently, they will be abw as bethesda only bought the rights to do 1/2/3 fallout games and they didn't get the original licences (which went down with interplay). and sold out software did carry it, i can't find any copies from them online now. the only place that sells the original online is cd access as far as i know

For example Chips&Bits (http://www.chipsbits.com) carries Fallout 1&2, too. I'm sure it's possible to find more webstores with them through the links at this thread (http://www.abandonia.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3287).

:tomato: So I managed to look around the forums more and saw that all of my questions were answered in other forums. :wall: I guess that I just have to search these forums for specifics (like fallout NOT ABANDONWARE though cheap) Thanks for being understanding as I mentioned B4. :cheers:

k...first off...i have both fallout 1 and 2....
but i like those...and im sad becouse they arent on abandonia...is this becouse of that they r under some kind of protection or something... still its sad not to see them here...
sry if posted in wrong place (but this is a request) -_-'

o and sry for bad english if there is any... :/

A. J. Raffles

09-06-2005, 03:02 PM

It's frequently requested, but it's still sold, I'm afraid. See this post (http://www.abandonia.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3424) for details.

The Fifth Horseman

09-06-2005, 04:11 PM

Yes it is sad. They are under protection and anyway would be far too large for the site.

PrejudiceSucks

09-06-2005, 05:44 PM

Sold Out sell them for ?5 each, I might buy them myself this month.

Try them.

Calamity

We should definately make a sticky that states in huge letters for the title that the games are still sold, that might stand a chance of curbing a new topic being started every week or so. <_<

But we already have a thread like that: :blink: http://www.abandonia.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3424. How much more obvious can you get?

Calamity

10-06-2005, 12:27 PM

Aye but the majority of folks requesting the game don't seem to take the time to look at said topic, if we had an announcement stating it in the title alone and simply made it a closed topic perhaps it would get through.

BeefontheBone

10-06-2005, 12:31 PM

Couldn't have one of those for every game though, the requests stickies would be several pages long then.

A. J. Raffles

10-06-2005, 12:34 PM

Besides, "read this before you post a request" is about as obvious as you can get without having topic titles in ALL CAPS, right?http://mordor.uni.cc/forum/style_emoticons/default/dntknw.gif

BeefontheBone

10-06-2005, 12:36 PM

Can't have them in all caps anyway, it autoformats them to have caps at the beginning of words only to stop people posting irritating threads like "WHO R THE ESA? THEY R THE SUXX0RS!!1!!"

Clever thinking! "Who r the esa? they are teh suxx0rs!!1!!" is so much easier on the eyes than all that ALL CAPS rubbish... :D

I werent sure these rly WAS sold still an im kinda lazy so i didnt want to shearch 4 all the places witch i dont know how many they r and so on
I think its better to ask than to not say anything...

o and u could start some kind of half-forum-thingy where ppl could post a title of a game aqnd get a simple thing like: Protected/sold
as a answear...couse atm i just saw a few request and so on...well anyways i went through the "read b4 posting" thingies b4 posting...tho i dont really keep track of what Interplay has ecome and where the rights r atm... well anyways im trying to say sry 4 posting this then ;)

Tom Henrik

10-06-2005, 04:14 PM

That is ok.

And this is the topic where people get a little "Sold/Protected" mark ;)

Cut off the netspeak. It freaks people out.

There are two sticky threads right on the top of the board. I don't see how you could have missed them.

It seems to have been published by Renegade, so it wouldn't be ESA-protected. Unfortunately, it's still sold at CD Access (http://www.cdaccess.com/html/quick/zpr.htm).

The Fifth Horseman

16-06-2005, 11:57 AM

31 in stock. When they run out = Welcome Z! :D

A. J. Raffles

16-06-2005, 02:19 PM

Well... not necessarily. They were the only store I checked, actually.:)

The Fifth Horseman

16-06-2005, 03:34 PM

Usually, they are the last one to hold certain game. Mainly because of their prices bordering on outrageous.

Erska

21-06-2005, 03:53 PM

aaah...seems that this lil thread is getting tranformed by my lil request-question thingie
well i've found thses old games in my shelf..

Entomorph Plauge of the Darkfall
WarlordsII
One Step Beyond
Third Dimention
TEX tactical flight experiement
Dragons Lair

I only got one step beyond and Entomorph to install and work but the rest of the games r orginal cd's and should therefore work...
can some1 tell me if any of these r wanted on abandonia...

if they r im willing to learn how to upload them...and stuff

PrejudiceSucks

21-06-2005, 04:43 PM

Actually, I'd watch out for Z, check HoTU for the reason why.

Tom Henrik

21-06-2005, 07:39 PM

Entomorph: Plague of the Darkfall (http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/entomorph-plague-of-the-darkfall) = Mindscape = ESA Protected
Warlords II (http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/warlords-ii) = Stratetic Simulations, Inc. = ESA Protected
One Step Beyond (http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/one-step-beyond) = Abandonware
Third Dimention = I dunno. The only game I found was Atmosfear.
TFX: Tactical Flight Experiment (http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/tfx) = Abandonware
Dragon's Lair (http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/dragons-lair) = Abandonware

Sry typo: Dimension -_-'

blah blah blah...
all right resrved by Davidson & Associates, Inc.

Edit:
oh forgot to ask if u want the games? :P

rabadi

22-06-2005, 01:20 AM

Back in the days before ESA incident, I actually requested for Entomorph: Plague of the Darkfall here, because the one in HOTU was ripped so badly it was unplayable in several places. I have never been able to finish that game because of that. Oh well... :cry: Anyway, it's best to avoid all ESA-protected games. Dragon's Lair, however, if it is really an abandonware, should be a nice addition to this site.

Tom Henrik

22-06-2005, 02:12 AM

Yeah. We would like the games ^_^

BeefontheBone

22-06-2005, 07:58 AM

(He means we'd like the ones which are abandonware, obviously. Just thought I'd qualify that a bit :D)

Erska

22-06-2005, 11:42 AM

oke :)
can some1 of u tell me where i could learn to make these playable/uploadable :P
im a newb in these things so ^.-

ty 4 those rules...etc.
but im still a lil confused...
i like...I cant find a way to get dragons lair to work...one step beyond have heck of strange keys...havent figured out evry1 yet (only that Q is up A is down O is left and P is right) i didnt get TFX to work etehr...but as i said at begining...they r orgianl cd's and should be able to get to work somehow (found the from a 2:nd hand shop a few years back)...
:ot:
well anyway...i got exited when i remembered...a game..that works on xp withoput any problem... works lan...i've played it...it owns for a game of its age...u drive this car and kill stuff...u r able to step out of the car WOW!...well long story short... i remembered i had Necrodome among my newer games...and i think its abandonware Mindscrape SSI...no1 of them r protecting their own righto ;)
well anyway thats the only game i can rewiev take screenshots from and so on
:ot:
I still can upload the content of the other cd's (installed content if u want to) but i cant do mutch other than upload

I will start working on necrodome ;) (if u just confirm that its abandonware and that u guys want it)

rabadi

23-06-2005, 01:08 AM

How big is the Dragon's Lair? I estimate I will have some free time (as in finish playing Delphine Software's Darkstone) in the next several days (by early next week to be more precisely), so perhaps I can help you to play it and then write the review if it is not too big (meaning if it is < 10MB it can be sent as an attachment to my friend's gmail account).

Fawfulhasfury

23-06-2005, 02:38 AM

Dragons Lair is NOT ABW. I've seen it sold in Gamestop and EB Games a million times in a value pack of all the Dragon's Lair games, and it's also a Don Bluth game, which heightens the likely hood that it's not ABW and is in fact owned by Universal.

rabadi

23-06-2005, 03:44 AM

Well, if Dragon's Lair is not abandonware, then forget about it. I don't want to jeopardize my Abandonia membership status as well as Abandonia site itself. Better keep it safe than sorry :sneaky:

The Fifth Horseman

23-06-2005, 09:29 AM

SSI ---> ESA PROTECTED.

Erska

23-06-2005, 01:04 PM

damn...well if necrodome is esa protected...
dragons lair...now im not sure what to think :P
but im still stuck with 2 games that i cant play...
can i just upload these and then let u guys go through the thingies with it? :P

The Fifth Horseman

23-06-2005, 02:34 PM

It depends on the filesize. If any one is bigger then ~60 MB, better have Kosta okay the upload first.

Ulysses

I didn't see them in the list? Do any of you have them? Would be cool to put them on the site. I wonder if they're part of ESA?

Games that are definitely not abandoned. (http://www.abandonia.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3424)

Altough CD-Access shows up only 1 copy left of Fallout 1, the game would definitely be far too large for the site, weighing in well over 400 MB.

Next time please check using the search function (http://www.abandonia.com/forum/index.php?act=Search&f=3) first, so that you don't unknowingly request something that has been discussed to death a dozen times over before.

With Fallout 3 coming out in October, I thought that I might as well ask for permission to upload the original Fallout. I didn't see it in the oldwarez list.

If not, I'll be glad to review it.

Fubb

20-09-2008, 03:07 AM

Well like. Um...er...

Im not smart, BUT to my understanding, the game is still being sold, and is about to be being sold (G.O.G) So therefore, too not have the site shut down, or have to fight legal quarals or whatever, those ppl who runz it can't upload the Game legally...

And it's probably also protected by ESA (? Not sure?)

TheChosen

20-09-2008, 06:28 AM

Im not sure about the ESA protection, but as long as it being sold or supported by someone, its a definite no go.

You know, this is the curse of brilliant old games, people don't forget about them easily ;)

Sold at Amazon, CDAccess and GOG (very soon).

Luchsen

You should improve your typing skills.

Since Bethesda bought the rights in and to Fallout, unlimited protection applies for the series.

Fubb

20-09-2008, 01:23 PM

... unless they choose to promote the release of F3 by royally screwing over GOG and releasing Fallout 1 as freeware! :D
(Okay, given their attitude this probably won't happen. Who said, though, that we can't hope?)

Not true, for the first time in history, let it be known, that Bethesda has given out a NICE email reply!

On the Bethesda Softworks forums, i made a thread about TES for DS, and when I vouched for them to create it, they simply said something like this;

"Sorry, at the time being, we have no immidiate plans to create a TES game for the Nintendo DS. If that status changes you'll probably be one of the first too know."

I was like 'WHOA!' cause everyother email i'ver recieved from them was mean.

Someone could email Bethesda, here: www.bethsoft.com Go to the contact tab, and click 'Email' And ask if they'll be doing a promotional offer for FO3 by releasing FO1 FO' FREE!!one!!11

Anyways, thats all....

Tomekk

20-09-2008, 03:37 PM

If such a selfish company as EA could release Red Alert and C&C 1 as freeware for promotional purposes, i don't see why Bethesda couldn't. G.O.G can go fuck himself if they don't co-oporate :D

Blood-Pigggy

20-09-2008, 04:27 PM

Bethesda do not have the rights to actually distribute the original Fallout titles, so sucks to them.

homestarrunner

20-09-2008, 06:24 PM

fallout 3 and fallout 1 has nothing in common except the name :p

Actually, YES they DO. As I learnt (from pc gamer), the story of fallout 3 take place at the exact same time as fallout 1......

Blood-Pigggy

20-09-2008, 08:22 PM

That is so horribly incorrect, Fallout 1 takes place in 2161, while Fallout 3 takes place in 2277, that's more than 100 years apart.

Besides, it's impossible for Fallout 3 to be a real sequel because it's so incredibly anachronistic that it can only be justified with an alternate timeline scenario, which would be utter bullshit and wouldn't even be a canonical part of the series.

No vats of FEV exist anywhere else other than that which was destroyed, the Military Base, the Enclave, poof, gone. What did the Super Mutants do? Somehow survive for +100 years? Sure, their bodies regenerate to the point of immortality, but their brain cells still rot and they get dumber, they're either brain dead or completely extinct by this point.

Factor in that the only way for FEV to reach the east coast is if the Super Mutants carried a fucking five ton vat of FEV over to the east coast, a substance that is so potent that it can affect people that merely stand a few hundred feet away from it (see Harold).

Not only that, but there are centaurs in Fallout 3, centaurs were exclusively created by the Master as his pets, they should not exist in the wastes, much less the east coast as they're just wild animals that were created liberally by the Master on the west coast.

It makes no sense, I'm certain that they stuck these creatures in as fan service, but in doing so they've only made the game more of a contradictory mess. It's absolutely impossible to seriously believe that they were this dumb in regards to the lore.
