Where did you get your copy?

I got it from the net because i couldnt find a copy anywhere and my friend said its abandonware ...

Will i get banned for that?

abandonware isn't supported because

1. it's illegal
2. it's stupid
3. it's not a real copy

get a real copy from a real store on a real cd and come again.

It's easy to find a legitimate copy. Redneck Rampage on eBay with a $3.99 buy it now option.

Im in New Zealand, no ebay, oh well ... i better just keep playing blood ... that i bought

Hey, if you have a real dos machine (or a windows 98 pc) then you could always try to run the game through dosmode. Or if you have enough harddisk space, you could make a dualboot of the system you are running and windows 98 SE.

For fucks sake people, don´t be so damn tight arsed.

damn tight arsed

Hm? Sounds funny.

With a decent system it should run quite fine in dosbox, if it's the game i remember under that name.

it is common British English. But my use of it, has not the same meaning. As the common idiom meaning, perhaps prudish would have been a better choice .

You would be too, when you for the umpteenth time have tried to help a user getting sound to work - only to find out on page 3 of the thread, that "Oh yeah - I downloaded this game from XXXXXXX" and when you check that download out, it is a badly ripped version without the audio-tracks.

If the tight arsed attitude here don't suit you, you are more than welcome to head over to the forums at http://www.dosgames.com and help the people there getting their games to work.

I understand the rules, I just hate the hostility against a person. Whether the game is legal or not. He had a problem with the game, and I answered after my best of knowledge. But attacking all, is something I am getting tired off, since I do remember a time before where a man from Spain had another problem. And somebody he gave him an overhaul over no reason of what so ever. And there I defended him too. Since whether the game is is legal or illegal. Then giving everybody a finger is just plain wrong.

leileilol might have been a rather heavy handed in his reply, but all I did was to provide a link to a cheap, legitimate copy. No one else made any comment about nataskapaus' admission of having downloaded his copy from an abandonware site. As has been oft discussed here, most are not against the idea of abandonware, it is just a matter of the legality of it. Some companies have a zero tolerance policy of abandonware/infringement of intellectual properties. The ScummVM project had a great deal of problems from LucasArts over such issues. If you think that we are "tight arsed" here, head over to the boards on scummvm.org and see what they are like about abandonware.

It is a matter of not being a legal target. Besides, abandonware often offers very bad rips of the games that cause serious problems with the games, then people who download these games come here for help with these problems.

Nobody attacked him. Re-read the thread closely.

If you wanna have a "all questions about abandonware answered,
and where to get it" forum, create your own.

If people must do abandonware then they should go to the site where they got it and use their forum. That is what their forum is for.

Abandonware is just a cheap excuse against law.

Mind you, hostility can be a hell lot of fun. 😉

Yeah that is true. But maybe sometimes I just think too socially .
And want help people. When it comes to games, whether they are illegal or not.

Okay, whatever, bye.

Honestly, that post would've been more impactful without the grade school points.

Well, I think it's better for everyone if we keep on topic. Abandonware has been discussed on several threads so far. If you want to keep arguing feel free to open a different thread in a proper section on the forum.
