Crusader 2 is downloadable from Abandonia.
Crusader 1 has been published by Electronic Arts and is therefore under ESA protection until 2011 *

* There are sources that claim it was Origin who published Crusader 1. If that can be confirmed, we could put it up for download some time soon.

Didn't EA buy Origin? If so, wouldn't that mean it doesn't really matter if it was Origin or EA that published it?

It does make a difference, since we have 15 year protection on core ESA members vs 10 year protection on their subsidiaries.

But isn't Origin as extinct as a diplodocus, and doesn't that change the core member/subsidiary thing? I mean, if Origin was alive and kicking, then it would be all clear, but with Origin dead, I thought any of their games are to be treated as EA property on the same level as any of EA's own games.

Defunct/disbanded status does not change anything.

Only the initial US release was also published by ORIGIN itself, I think.

[edit] Yeah, old game magazines say that it was published by ORIGIN, and the install guide referred to the ORIGIN Publishing Section and the ORIGIN Marketing Department. [/edit]

Are you running it in DOSBox? If not, then try that. It should work well in DOSBox if your pc is up for the task (you'd need more than 1 gHz and 256 mb ram which I suppose is no problem for most people today)
