![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Simply search the name of the video game in the search form (make sure to search in metadata as well) and you are likely to find dozens of results to match your search. Thousands of archivists have populated the “software” section of the website with tens of thousands of old PC game media, including original ISOs and installers. This US-government backed database of old media should be the first place you should search old PC games on. This article aims to list the cream of the crop of these websites, where you can download your favorite childhood PC games for free without worrying about viruses or scams. Especially over the past decades, websites dedicated to the preservation of these old PC games have sprung up to fill a gaping void in gamer’s hearts. Gamers that have an itch to play these games again might feel disappointed, however there is no need to worry. However, it’s unfortunate that a lot of these games are currently unavailable for purchase anywhere. It was also a time where video game companies such as Blizzard made their names known with some of their best works. That was a time where video game developers allowed their creativity to reign free, and we saw works which defined gaming today, from RTS games like Age of Empires 2 and Warcraft, to FPS games such as Doom and the first Battlefield games. Which I'm beginning to think is the reality at this point.Many gamers religiously claim that the golden age of PC gaming was in the late 90s and in the first years of the new millennia, and our team tends to agree. Something that's more plausible than waiting 3 to 4 more years only to never legally get the game back. In this manner you wouldn't be reverse engineering server code since you'd code your own server software and code a client to work with it. I think the op was basically saying to code an entirely new game with the same systems coh had and reuse all the art and models. TA is decent, but the nerfs.well, I know that BS wouldnt be pulled in CoH(post revival or Pre-shutdown) so it's even more incentive to wait :P I can wait, CO's doing decent(In-game only) at tiding me over :). You just are less likey to get DMCA take down requests if you host it compared to hosting a latest release game.Ī lot of Abandonware sites have games that are still being sold at places like gog.com Proprietary software which is no longer marketed, supported or sold by its owner is called "abandon ware" and the digital form of orphaned works.Ībandonware isn't a legal term, and no rights exist to access it.

It was shutdown because NCSoft was moving to the Asian market and CoH did not make enough money to keep open. Quote from: Ironwolf on February 21, 2016, 01:06:35 AM -Except a group is working to buy the game and there were no legal reasons it was shut down. I thought the IP was so that CoH 2 could be made, or so that other media (other types of games, books, etc.) could be used. I was under the impression that the successors (other than Atlas Park Revival) had turned down that option, as they have already invested a lot of time into creating their own IP.
