Sweet. I have NESticle at home, it's a blast to play all the old NES games.

great, I can definitely see a few afternoons wasted! Thanks!

*downloading civ2 as we speak* ahhhh the good ol days!

there are a bunch of these sites, just search for abandonware. Do be aware that it is still illegal to download these games

Great! Let me know if yours works once you dload it. Pirates works but Scorched Earth wouldn't start up. I was going to try Wolfenstein after all these years, but I'm not sure I can bring myself to eat chicken dinners while I walk around wasting people.

Thanks dad.

I'm not so sure. Wolfenstein, Doom 1/2 and possibly others are not available here. Instead of a download option they show "$"

That doesn't mean the rest are free though. The copyright and licensing belong to the owners of the program and unless they've decided to give it away for free, it's illegal to download it.

10+ years may be a lifetime for computer games and the likelihood of the owners actually making any money off these titles is slim to non, but legal's legal.


I'm not saying I don't do it, I'm just acknowledging the fact that I know it's illegal.

What? Hasn't anyone here ever heard of ?
