MADNESSSSS!
It will stay forever!
It's free games, I now have something to do at work on a Saturday.
Just got to find ones that don't get blocked by Websense.

Why is that? It has already nearly doubled the other sticky, the FAQ, in terms of views. We should see the other one go first.

Sticky 4-EVAR!!!!!
 
The area of abandonware is a touchy one because even if it is abandoned it still falls under Fair Use, which would still make it illegal to download.

However, since all of these links come from reputable sites or the official makers we'll have no problem.

Please only link to those above stated sites and it will stay stickied as long as it is active.

I apologize for not getting on the ball sooner guys, to be honest I never even noticed the thread. From now on if you think something is sticky worthy, why not shoot me or Tech or spug a PM. :)

Simple, i am not on as much as i'd like, and sometimes there's a good reason why it didn't happen sooner. In such cases, one of the more active mods or admins may decide it needs to be unstickied. Which is fine by me. But as i saw nothing wrong with the thread, and it seemed like good info, i decided to give it a shot.
 
I think I might add this to the other sticky too. But we'll do that later after this dies down some. :)
 
2 little starwars fighter sims that work great on windows xp ...

http://www.bruneras.com/

Star Wars: The Battle Of Endor
Fight against the empire in the epic battle of Endor. Flight on the controls of an X-Wing and face hundreds of TIEs, Star Destroyers, and try to destroy the Darth Vader's Super Star Destroyer 'Executor'. Six stages of intense action.

Star Wars: The Battle Of Yavin
Play as Luke Skywalker in the battle of Yavin. Assault and destroy the empire's Death Star. Fight in space, on the Death Star's surface, make the trench run, and try not to get blasted by Darth Vader's ship. Six stages of intense action.

click on the name of the games under freeware games and you will find a place to download them from ... they are good time killers :)
 
Hey, here I go to the bother of installing and learning MinGW, compiling freeciv for windows, making a reasonably clean package, and you don't even link it up. ;)
(Here.)

No guarantees, though. I haven't actually tried it on any other computers than the one I built it on.
 
To the guy who posted shadowbane:

I wanna try this game out, but I want to be absolutely sure that it will last longer than 15 days free of play. I don't see anything about this on the download page, instead I see "15 days free" restated quite a few times. Is it something the creators did to put some people off the game since the servers are getting quite populated, or something?

thanks

The reason it's listed as a "15 days free" trial is because the game just became a free MMORPG, and they haven't re-listed it as a "Full free client". It is indeed the full client and will allow you to play as long as you wish. You just simply install it and play for as long as you like.
 
Another question:

Is it REALLY limited to US and canada? If that is so, guess i'm SOL. ;(

I don't think we can talk about where to actually get the ROMs...I'm not sure, so don't take my word for it.
 
From what I know, you can download any ROM you like and try it for a 24h period...
after that, delete (hey not that everybody does so...)
BTW
if you own the original game, then it's legal...
But I don't see roms coming into this thread, roms are console games and the thread will be hijacked in no time...
