The Legacy and Piratenleben are indeed good, I often visit the Legacy when I want to get info on really old games, and the Piratenleben seems to be (as far as I've heard) one of the better ones or even best Mods for Gothic 2.
|
www.the-underdogs.info is great, but hasnt been updated for a while. I think real life finally caught up with the admin, so look at it while it still is up.
|
Underdogs has always been a great place for games long unavailable!!
|
www.spiderwebsoftware.com , home of all things spiderweb like Geneforge and Avernum series.
|
By the way, at www.revolution.co.uk it is possible to officially download Lure of the Temptress and Beneath a Steel Sky.

www.taleworlds.com hosts Mount and Blade, an excellent "Elite with swords" game. You can play until reaching level 6 in the free version.
|
We have long been supporters of M&B!! There's a report on the game I wrote over a year ago floating around somewhere. Dhruin is a very keen player!!
|
This site is great for freeware games, the RPG archieve is not that big, but there are some gems there! They have rather good taste too, the highest rated RPG for download is BAK… Tower of the Sorcerer which is a great game gets a high rating too.

Great idea HiddenX and thanks to everyone for the links. :)
I have wanted to try the Prelude to Darkness, on that link the full version says link no longer good casue of some violation of Terms of Use. There is a 75 meg version linked in their download section, maybe a demo? In reguard to Sith Lord Restoration they are content complete and just bug catching now, yay! :) |
Oh yeah, Underdogs is a fantastic site for abandonware. It was the best site for me years ago when i was hunting old games, too bad that there haven't been any updates
We should make this thread a sticky :biggrin: |
One has but to ask!! :)
|
Certianly System Shock could be added here too, it freeware now correct?

Hey, the thread is stickied! Oh, what immense powers I have…Bow before me, mortals or I will smite thee with double posts!!! Ahem…Sorry, megalomania spell has passed :biggrin: You know, if we are talking about mods then we have to mention http://www.tessource.net/. It's a great source for ES Mods. I guess most people know about it anyway. The sad thing is that i've never completed an ES game before… |
Er, I can delete double posts too!! :)
|
How do I contribute a game to the Underdogs page ?
Background : Larian had once made a tiny game called "Imprunner". I thought it would be a good idea to place it there to keep it from being forgotten. And I've even got an official "okay". Literally. |
Don't know about the Dogs, but send a PM to Myrthos; we might be able to host it here?!!
|
Hm, the idea isn't bad either.
It's just the point whether it is "good enough" for hosting … Anyway, I'll PM him. |
|
Alrik: there is a suggestions subforum at the Underdogs site, but her todo-list is very long. I'm not sure its the best place to host a game. If you want to spread it after hosting it elsewhere you could "advertise" (in a mature and civilized way so you wont be censored for spam) it in their reasonably active forum though.
|
No list of RPG mod resources is complete without the Infinity Engine modlist: http://modlist.pocketplane.net .
|
Can't believe you forgot the AGS website: :D
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/ Lots of great free amateur adventure games there (and of course a great tool for creating them yourself ;)). Oh, and of course there is: http://www.scummvm.org/ For playing all your old LucasArt games and others on modern systems! Has links to a few old games that have been made free by the developers, too! (Beneath A Steel Sky, Flight of the Amazon Queens) |
Okay, thanks, Zaleukos.
Edit : Just wanted to add that SCUMMVM is available for Linux, too ! |
|
Dunno whether this falls in this gategory, but a ww2 tactical shooter called hidden and dangerous is freeware. I heartly recommand it to any ww2 fan.
Edit: updating the link: http://www.hidden-and-dangerous.net/deluxe/download.php |

Yay! My 1st addition to this thread will be for the Yendorian Tales series of games.
Chapter 1 might be rough to get going in XP. Chapters 2 and 3 should work fine though. http://www.swgames.com Yendorian Tales Chapter 2 and 3 can best be described as Might and Magic 3-5 clones. The game looks and feels a lot like those games. |

Ah. Another example of "how to exclude the world outside which doesn't use credit cards at all".
|
Star Control 2 (aka The Ur-Quan Masters) is freeware now. It's a lot like an old classic RPG called Planet's Edge, but with RPG elements sacrificed (and admittedly there weren't that many in PE) in favour of a great story.
|
abandonia is a great site, tons of screenshots and reviews.
|
One of the best free modules for Neverwinter Nights 1:
Darkness over Daggerford http://nwn.bioware.com/players/profile_daggerford.html developed by Ossian Studios. I can recommend this game for Baldur's Gate fans. Combat is fair / sometimes easy. Great Story with many twists and sidequests. Watch out for Eastereggs :-) |
Ultima V - Lazarus
It's basically a remake of the old Ultima V built in the Dungeon Siege (1) engine. You must have Dungeon Siege installed to play the game. http://www.u5lazarus.com/ |

Another game that I just thought about was Minions of Mirth. MoM is a single and somewhat MMORPG along the lines of Guild Wars. It was made by just two people primarily and then the community stepped in and start adding resources (quests, artwork, crafting, alchemy, etc). The game is like $30 to register but there is no monthly fee for playing. I haven't played this in about a year but it had quite a bit of content back then and was being updated constantly.
http://www.prairiegames.com |
I can recommend both Laz and MoM as great, fun games. For Laz check out my review at the Dot, and I wrote an interview with the devs of MoM back there as well. I'm too lazy to look up the links!! :)
|
I'm just waiting for the German-language release of Lazarus, and the French-language version has already been released !

Pretty good action rpg. It was sold in 4 chapters, and I believe the first is free. A few features were cool. Worth checking out. |
