Internet archive isn't any more secure than these random sites. The best way to do it is to use torrents from reliable repackers. They have vetted the game before hand so it should be clean of bullshit.I can't recall which GOG pirate site I used to visit but it became a god damn virus park. It was like walking in Eugene with all the homeless and their needles and shit everywhere. WATCH YOUR STEP!!! FUCK!!!
Yeah, a lot of certain sites I've abandoned. I am not sure if this one was a shit-fest or not. I went legit purchase a long while ago unless roms and internet archive.
I want a demo. If I think your games worth buying I'll pick it up. If not I probably won't play very much. Why waste time with Steam refunds when I can do it this way instead?Lol, even as a joke, I can't really agree. Often pirating is the only reasonable way of obtaining a game, even if you can afford to purchase it. For instance, I've pirated lots of japanese games because I absolutely refuse to submit myself to their downright retarded DRM mechanisms (limits to the number of activations, for instance).
And that's without taking into account those times when a game isn't even being sold anywhere in the first place (other than Ebay and similar stores, that is).
I miss a proper, oldschool Abandonware site where you can find forgotten gems and the like...Lol, even as a joke, I can't really agree.

Anyone try the modding aspect of this game?
I hear if you speak Russian they still exist. Actually, I think a lot of places that still have the same libraries you'd expect an abandonware website to have 20 years ago are non-English. Sadly though, even on these sites you'll still find some of these forgotten gems that don't work properly or are categorized weirdly.I miss a proper, oldschool Abandonware site where you can find forgotten gems and the like...Lol, even as a joke, I can't really agree.

Sorry but the idea of private site with torrent trackers is dumb. It's like warez FTP servers in the 90's - only 20 years too late.Anyone interested in pirating games should strive to get into GGN.
The idea itself might be dumb (it is, at the very least, working right now), but there are almost zero decent public and specialized trackers nowadays; Nyaa is essentially the only one, and even then, it has serious problems with retention. Hell, even general public trackers aren't faring well; Rutracker is pretty much the only one that can be said to be truly great.Sorry but the idea of private site with torrent trackers is dumb.

What would happen to the scene when all smart people will leave and admins will let unwashed masses in ?
The answer is - GGN access can be bought for mere 60$. It's a small price to pay when you want to be 3l1t3 h4xor - but don't want to learn how to use Internet.

1942Well be it mobygames or wiki, it just seems US version was renamed. C64 had both names on two games.

Just more confusion to make one wonder why? Tbh, they certainly could have made two separate games. It still isn't the biplane arcade game I vaguely remember from my childhood. I remember so sort of epic starter music as the plane did a loop de loop out of the hanger before assaulting the city. Bah! I can't recall the name but I make sure to watch the intros to these games to see if it pops up. And YES, I'm damn sure it was an arcade cabinet.
