This is what all companies should do, realease old outdated game for free. But i wont start up the abandonware argument here ;)


btw, put it on the i15 ftp server, since it takes ages to d/l files that size on 64k :(

that'll be because the game is is frame rate limited due to people have massivley overpowering processors for the game.

There is an option somewhere to disbale it but you'll find the game runs at an un-naturally fast (lightening fast!) speed depending on the processor speed you have.

[Tsung]

Ahh yeah, that would be it then :)

[Baz]

other games are effected by this...such as wipeout 2097. i have it for PC, but i went to play it at i-14, and it ran so fast you couldnt steer :(
