Metal Lords
Looking out to find a copy of Metal Lords (aka Mech Lords), by Simtex. Prior to the company folding, a 100 MB reviewers copy on CD was released - it had enough circulation to make the Internet Games PC Top 100 for a few months in 1995.
Game was never released because of Simtex's financial troubles, so that makes the reviewer's CD the only version of it out there... unfortunately I've never been able to find a copy online... guess its large size made it to large to post in the 90's. Hoping someone out there can stop me from getting all misty eyed whenever I see a screen cap of it in my old CGWs... |

After a fairly exhaustive internet search (everything except torrents), nothing turned up. However, I do have a few ideas for you to try. You could email all of the magazines/websites who were likely to receive the copy and see if they have it stored somewhere. No guarantee, but you would be surprised what people will do. Another option is emailing Atari, who now have the rights to the game. This runs the risk of them thinking there is a market for the game and selling it. Which means the chance of you downloading for free dropped a million percent. Good Luck!

Not a bad idea... except SimTex (and Microprose, their parent) is long long gone, along with the physical IP. And the magazines from back then are gone now too... no more CGW... no more Strategy Plus.
Man... if I could convince Atari to SELL it, I'd be more than willing to spend $$$ on it. Suppose I could try seeing who WROTE the previews in the old CGW/Strategy Plus mags, and emailing them... Last edited by dtolman; 26-09-2008 at 12:51 AM. Reason: typos... |

Couldn't hurt to try the torrent sites, in that case; a torrent is arguably overkill for such a relatively small file, but it's still worth a try. |

Not on any torrent site I could find.
Where did you hear about this "reviewers copy", BTW?

I'm not sure whether that's the thing you're looking for but I've got the whole demo movie of Metal Lords by Simtex. Not playable but certainly worth seeing. It was attached to CD Gamer vol. 14, Nov.1995 and it's only 66MB (35MB compressed).
I saved the CD only because of Metal Lords on it. |
