Title: Game Downloads
Post by: Mike_F on July 02, 2010, 02:56:02 pm

I fancy playing some of my favourite old games again - things like Dune 2, Civilisation etc. but I have no idea where to download them from that is 1) Cheap/Free and 2) Trustworthy i.e. not going to stick a virus on my computer. Anyone got any ideas please?

Ta.

lol - me 2! Actually, I think the Civ3 link is only a demo, and think Dune2 is freeware now? And even if it's not, we're not hosting or downloading anything, so all is well  :P

Rockstar Games has now given the original Grand Theft Auto and GTA2 free re-releases.  Great fun reminiscing for those who had them on their PC's or PS1s back in the day, and a lesson in old skool gaming for the youngsters.

Thanks mate, I'll give those a try. Of course I could Google (or more accurately, Easysearch) for these I wouldn't trust any old site not to put a virus on my computer!
