Man Rise Of The Triad rocked. Think the cheat was JohnWoo to get dual pistols...i never understood the logic of that cheat when i first played it. I thought he was one of the artists or programmers or something.

Oh and playing it at christmas, they all wear christmas hats and you get cool music :D

Think Homeworld has only recently been released, they have released the source code for it so it will probably be a while before there are any builds.

you'll be wise to read the whole page. the link doesn't get you the entire game, just parts of it. the stuff you'll miss (cut-scenes, music and hgh-res textures) can be had from another website that is clearly mentioned. I'm getting it myself as soon as I'm home.

Getting Ground Control atm from Fileplanet:

http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/groundcontrol/

And I got Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project free with last Friday's Sun. Tis good for a giggle, still love Duke's one-liners :)


PS: Half those games are source only - who the feck do you class that as full game?

The freespace thing is missing files and can only be run in 6xx by 4xx :(
The site has an FTP linked to on its forums but they're always full.
Any chance we can get an FH host up for the missing files?

Theres a list of all the licences on that site too that list what you can and cant do, but its mainly to stop people re-selling it as their own code. That site lists only the officially liberated games, there is another more 'un-official' site called http://www.the-underdogs.org/ that links to source or binary (now by Bittorrent!) to all old games abandonned by developers and/or publishers. An endless source of fun and nostalgia.

CBA looking it up tbh. I'm sure somewhere along the line it involved "code", of which, I am happy to say I am entirely ignorant.

My sophistry with "code" extends to HTML & some PHP. Beyond that - HA!

wouldn't compiling it only give you the executable? what about all the data files - sound/video/pictures/textures etc. etc. - does that all come with the package?
