Great game but where is the link to download it ?

Here.

























Now that you fell for my little joke, read the site FAQ and the forum rules- preferably before I hit you with a brick.

Why can't you download
 
Hey

Why can't you download the game? What is the point of posting it up on your site if you cant download it?:notrust:

AlumiuN 10-11-2008 06:38 AM

Well...

A: It was downloadable until it was sold on Steam and

B: What the hey, it's a good game, a review is customary for good games. :thumbs:

Perhaps it'll clear up the situation a bit when I tell you it was downloadable when it was added to the site.
We had to remove it recently, as we found out the copyright holder decided to re-release it on STEAM - offering sold games for download is against our site policy.

Another part of that policy is that the reviews remain on the site even if the actual game is not downloadable - Abandonia's primary purpose is to preserve the games, rather than being a free download site.
If we removed the review it would mean destoying the work of the person who wrote it - which would be a very stupid and asinine thing to do.

Furthermore, the status of any non-downloadable game may change. The copyright holder might release them as freeware to promote a new part of the series, for instance (Command & Conquer, anyone?). The source selling them might run out of copies or remove the game from its offer for a different reason. The protection period might expire. And so on.
So if we removed the review someone would have to write a new one from scratch when we'd be able to put the game up for download again, and adding it back in would take much longer - as opposed to five clicks in the admin control panel to correct the status of any game which has a review on the site.

Some where in the 318 pages of post it may be the reason to keep up talking about a game that isnt available to download

i still play Ufo and X-com Terror From The Deep these days, two of my favourite games. Apocalypse sucks though.

download?
 
hi, I'm new here; anyone know where to download this-it says 'download here' on the review page but can't see a link?
i also notice it is described as sold- steam has all except the 1st one though.
cheers
