[The Fifth Horseman]

CDrom Access recently marked the EA compilation as "Sold out". That makes it abandonware, I guess.

I can supply a bunch of screenshots and the in-game music (converted fron non-typical Midi standard to MP3's - was hard, but worked).

Oh, didn't notice this one had got replies. Sorry.

Note that CDrom Access is not the original game publisher... they are simply making money on selling what is in all respect abandonware.

The retailers also need the profit, just as much as the developers.

Do you really think that if some old game is sold by a software pirate (and I see CDRA as one) it really means that the game is "still sold" in the normal meaning of this word?

Software pirate? Why's that? As far as I know, they're selling original copies of the games.

If I had a copy of it and sold it to my friend, would it mean is is "still sold"?

Of course not. However, retailers base their business on sales, and need the profit. Naturally in the wide world only online retailers apply, as for example a corner store in Ankara is hardly a source everyone can access.

However, the CDAccess has sold out their compilation by now, and unless someone can find another place to buy it from, it seems Space Hulk has indeed gone abandonware.

I found SS2 from Jyväskylä "we sell - buy - trade" shops many years ago. Don't remember the name thought.. Seeing system shock 2 in abandon ware site brings me tear to my eye.

marko_river: just curious: how many times have you completed SS2? Have you tried wrench only?

System Shock 2???

I wrote review for Space Hulk. Who mentioned ss2? Actually I played SS2 very little. I won't dare to write review on that one.

If Space Hulk is really gone abw, well common, I want it to be uploaded.

Well, Kosta told me that it would be smart to wait for week or two, just in case. After all, isn't there someone who check this things with abw? Someone just need to ask what is going on and we'll know what is going on with Hulk precisely.

Finding the first Space Hulk PC game isn't hard (it's on this site!), but I haven't been able to get the second one, either on download or in a real life copy. I didn't see it in the not-abandonware list, so... anybody got it and willing to share?

A few weeks back it was hard as hell, believe me. There was only one place where you could get it, and even so it was pretty difficult.

but I haven't been able to get the second one, either on download or in a real life copy. I didn't see it in the not-abandonware list, so... anybody got it and willing to share?

First

Note: We have been asked by Games Workshop to remove downloads of games based on the Space Hulk and Warhammer universe. Please contact the company directly if you are interested in obtaining this title.

And GW aint responding nor selling.

Second, I remember seeing its size when it was on HOTU. Freaking huge, about 60 MB or so. Would be too big for Abandonia.

Third, this game was produced for Windows before anything like DirectX existed. What does it mean? Incredibly slow and ugly operation.


Trust me, the first SH is allright... beaten the campaign yet?

Space Hulk is still sold :blink:

[Sebatianos]

And it's already on the site: Space Hulk, but it's not downloadable!

The ESA protection for this game has depleted, so now please check for [SOLD] status.

I haven't found any buylinks.

I think we can label this as 'approved'.
