3 Classic SubSims.

No posting of links to such sites... btw I've seen SSN-21 Seawolf at a fleamarket today and if my copy of AODCD that I got from the same box Seawolf was in is anything to go by it should be in pristine condition, the box certainly looked very good, no damage at all

No, it's not legal. The owners of the copyright may not enforce it, but they still hold the copyright. Not that I agree with it, just pointing it out. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing a reform of copyright laws for old software. It's not like anyone is making money selling those games anymore.

To cut a long post short, I don't know SubSim.com's official standpoint on abandonware, or downloading old games, so I wont post a link untill I get an all clear from someone who does know.

SUBSIM Review has a longstanding policy against software piracy. We do NOT allow discussion or even mention of warez, abandonware, peer-to-peer game swapping, illegal download sites, or rip-off websites. Nothing will get you banned faster than pointing people to illegal software distribution sites. Don't ask for serial numbers, manuals, or cracks. Any admission that you have in your possession illegal software can and usually will result in revocation of your Radio Room forum account. Support computer game programmers buy legally purchasing their work. They have to eat too, you know.

mods/admins feel free to delete this thread...

hi Snailz,

You have to do what you have to do to get a really old game like SSN-21 Seawolf. We just don't want too much discussion about it here, that could open the gates for more. Feel free to talk about the game and how you are playing it, just not how you got it.

thanks
Neal
