The internet is often associated with the illegal, more pirates than the whole Pirates of the Carribean trilogy and every movie ever made about long John silver put together. But there is also a flip side to every coin and that's why I am pleased to offer you this DVD crammed full of all the fun you can legally download. Every one of these 21 games can be legally downloaded by anybody with an internet connection, no discrimination or sign up fees involved. All I have done is to take the time and bandwidth to download them all and offer them to you in a nicely presented DVD.
HERE'S WHAT'S ON THE DISC:
- First Person Shooters: Hidden and Dangerous deluxe, Paintball 2 (including a MASSIVE map pack), Assault Cube
- Real Time Strategy: Warzone 2100, SWINE
- Strategy/ Action: Full Spectrum Warrior, Grand Theft Auto
- Driving: Trackmania - Nations ESWC, Stunt Playground
- Turn Based Strategy: Free Civ, Free Col
- Adventure: Kings quest 3 remake, Sam and Max, Out of Order
- Platform: N!, Mario Forever
- Arcade: Frets on Fire, Ragdoll Monkey bowling, Counter strike 2d
- Flight Simulators: Flight gear (including maps for the whole of SA), Sky Battle
As you can see there is a nice selection of styles and these are everything from 2mb tiddlers to 1.6 gigabyte behemoths, so somewhere in this group there's sure to be something you'll really enjoy.
SO IF THE GAMES ARE FREE WHAT AM I CHARGING YOU FOR?
Well... if you were to download all 4.6 GB that are included on the disc it would cost you at least 300 rand in bandwidth (taking into account a months line rental) and so it is that which I am charging you for along with the DVD R and effort I've put in to compiling a menu system and gathering the games. I claim no ownership of the games but all of them have been released either as open source or company approved abandonware and I will happily list the websites I got these from if you think there's some dodgy element to this or even if you'd like to waste a couple of gigs downloading them for yourself. Or better yet, just search for the games online and you'll pretty soon find a lot of legal downloading sites offering them. I'm not selling the games but rather the convenience of not having to download them yourself.
WILL THE GAMES WORK ON MY SYSTEM?
It obviously varies greatly from game to game. Some are compatible with windows 98, others need a decent graphics card and ram. But if you have windows XP and a system that can run other games from the last few years then you'll have no problems using these. They have all been tested on my computer (which is about a year old but certainly not top of the line) and they all work very well. If you have a specific question about a game's requirements I can give you what the official doc's say but obviously I can't be held responsible if the game doesn't work.
If you have any other questions then please feel free to ask. And yes there will be a volume 2 sometime in the future just give me time to gather some more together.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING
This is just a DVD in a sleeve so the shipping is only 20 rand with a tracking number. If the disc itself doesn't work (as in it's unreadable) I will gladly send you another at my expense but cannot give refunds based on the fact it'll be pretty easy to just copy the disc and then claim you want a refund. So sorry if you were planning on doing that! :-)
