One of the games my brothers and I used to all play huddled around the same little keyboard, is Threat. There's a link to the software company that created it on Underdogs, but I've yet to find a downloadable version again (even the old shareware we used to play.) If anyone could help me out with this, that would be absolutely wonderul!

Maybe you could provide a link to the underdogs page. That would make it easier for us to find the game.

Sorry about that...here's the link. This is one of the funnest games I can remember playing when I was younger. http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?gameid=3393 I hope someone can help me out. Thanks!

It seems to be one of the games, that the gaming industry has managed to kill.
(Take it of the net, and not selling or supporting the game = a game in the grave :cry: )

I've been cleaning out my HD and found something called t.zip. Looking at what it is, there was a .exe-file called Threat.exe. Unzipping it and running it in DosBox, it turns out to be the game you guys're talking 'bout. Shareware version. Don't know how the heck it came on my HD... must've forgotten all 'bout it. Anyways, if you can do anything with the shareware version, let me know.

Well, the Shareware version....
Not a good name; shareware. So it will not be added on the site, but I know of someone who would be very glad if you mailed him the game ;)

Those who want it, just have to PM me their addresses and I'll gladly mail it over.
Somewhere from the depths of the internet I found the registered version.
Looks indeed quite a nice game.

I've been trying to get hold of this for weeks - Fragment and The Games Factory don't seem to be around any more and all I end up seeing are people who have emailed the current owner of the rights over and over with no response.
Surely this is now ABW? I eventually found a 'registered' version but it's been cracked and bombs out after 4 levels or so of each episode.
Does *anyone* have the registered version? It'd be a shame to let a game like this die!

Necromancery at it's finest :OK: Someone said they found a registered version, maybe they'll be nice and post it <hint hint nudge nudge>

The author requested it be taken off the underdogs, so i think adding it to our site would only attract unwelcomed eyes.

I think the author had it taken off HOTU so that people would stop e-mailing the company, requesting the game (HOTU said to get it, contact the programmers)

So, in this case the game is NOT abandonware, because if it was, the programmer wouldn't ask UD to remove the contact by email link, but permit him to freely distribute the game.

actually, they don't sell it, I think it was because they don't produce it anymore...I dunno, I think it is.

Does anyone know about the game THREAT? Its one of those games where you look top down on your character and you shoot aliens and stuff.
I had the shareware and even tried to buy it but I think they stopped making it before I could get a copy.
Anyway if you guys know of it or could get it on the site that would be fab!! :ok:
Thanks! :kosta:
yeah nice game.
seems to be esa protected I recall.

NOOOOOOOOO! :cry:
...oh well, I'll just have to play the shareware.
Thanks for checking Data
I'm not sure though. But I remember some earlier discussion...
I have a full version.

I will double my search efforts just in case. If it is out there I'll find it.
Thanx again. :ok:

I can't find the game on MobyGames. Anyone got some info on it?
Threat © Sami Haikonen and Niklas Penttinen / Fragment 1994-1995
What is Threat ?
Threat is a shoot em' up game in which you control a security
force soldier. With your friends you must save the human colonists
from attack of creatures.
Threat is fragment's first game and it took us nearly a year
to make Threat. ( Don't ask why... )
Got more information if you need it

It is listed as Shareware, and it seems the game has been taken down. Which leads me to think that it might be protected by Webfoot (The creators).
It doesn't look likely that we will host this game.

I have only found the shareware version of this game.. can someone find the full-version?

No, that`s not it
http://free-game-downloads.mosw.com/abando..._to/threat.html (http://free-game-downloads.mosw.com/abandonware/pc/arcade_action/games_th_to/threat.html)
Here is a screen shot of the game... but I`m not paying for abandonware like those guys on that site wants us to.

Well, that's good, cause that site leeches download from other AW sites in the scene. Not a single game on that site is hosted on its servers. HOTU, for instance, is one of the major sites being leeched from.
However, now that I got a bit more info about the game, I can inform you that Threat is Protected by Webfoot - the company that made the game in 1997.

I once played a pc game called threat, i think it was made by some finnish people. The version i played was the demo version, but i have never been able to find the full version of the game, or any information on the game for that matter. So i hoped that it would one day turn up in here
It´s a top down shooting game, not unlike Alien Breed (i´m quite certain that alien breed was the inspiration for the game). But it´s seen farther away, and most levels fit on 1 screen. Theres 3 episodes in single player and a multi player mode where you can play head to head or cooperative.
finally i think the company that made the game is called: Fragment software.
But i´m not certain on this one. Hope that someone knows what i´m talking about, and that it will one day be featured in here :D
