    Default Older PC Games....

    Are there any websites that have older PC Games for download? I already have Gods of Thunder.

    Bear in mind that most of the games you find there are ones whose companies have folded and whatnot. Older Lucasarts adventures and older ECA (now EA) games are not there to be found because of copyright issues. That being said, there is a wealth of old "abandonware" games there.

    All I get are errors when I try to download. Either they have a lot of broken links or their server is quite overtaxed.

    I'm moving this to Emulation, as I think that's where it belongs. Hope that's ok with you Zektor.

    Also, I'm not 100% sure what the DP stance is on older PC games. Hopefully Zektor can take care of this if it's not ok.

    PC game downloads really have nothing to do with emulation (unless you are trying to run a DOS game in an emulated environment on another OS) but, this isn't the case. That being said...
