Half the time Gog/etc offer extras it's because they either had them at home or some abandonware site preserved them so that newer generations could experience them and so that they wouldn't be lost forever.ģ. Also some of these sites DO preserve gaming history.look at how some games on Gog/etc don't have all the extras and artworks/etc because that stuff was lost to the ravages of time. Software piracy or not imo there's a moral difference between offering games for download that can't be bought new or used anywhere and which haven't been sold in years and aren't likely to ever be sold again over people pirating/offering up newer games for download that people are still making money on and producing. We already know the things we may do are illegal so again stop reminding us of it as it's kinda unnecessary and headache inducing.Ģ. It's a term, and it exists.get used to it, but don't say the term isn't real or applicable to anything.Īnd no shit they aren't legal to download, but alot of stuff that's illegal people still do and support like marijuana usage/etc. Abandonware=Games for which the rights holders/etc have abandoned attempts at sale for a period of 5+ years and which have little to no chance at ever being resold again in the future. Just because it isn't legal or morally right to most doesn't mean the term and what it applies to doesn't exist. Yes there is such a thing as abandonware technically. We can only hope that GOG is working hard to get them on board and maybe bring the Crusader games into the GOG library. It sucks that EA has chosen to not do anything with the Crusader property, but it is their property to do with as they please, even if that means they are "taking their ball and going home" in a manner of speaking. The only difference between abandonware sites and a regular piracy source is the abandonware sites choose an easier target (games no one is actually selling) and they are able to rationalize their piracy as "preserving gaming history" or some other load of BS. EA might not currently be selling them, but that does not mean either game has been "abandoned" nor does it mean that it is free to distribute or download.Īll software sites that claim to offer "abandonware" are in fact promoting software piracy. All software, regardless of who made it or when it was made, belongs to someone, in this case, EA, the original publisher of the Crusader games. How many times do we have to go over this here. Then EA laid claim to the abandon ware so abandon ware sites had to take the games down.ĮA is now doing absolutely nothing with them. In No Remorse, the Captain was limited to carry five weapons in No Regret, this limitation has been removed.A few years back they were abandoned ware that could be downloaded freely and ran in DOSBox. The game's structure is somewhat more straightforward compared to the previous installment. A few new weapons and death animations have been added. The game looks and plays very similarly to its predecessor, being an isometric shooter in which the Captain can also jump, run, roll, and kneel to avoid enemy attacks. The powerful corporation is not happy to see the Captain on the moon, and he has to use all his wits and skills to survive as WEC, led by Chairman Draygan, is trying to hunt him down. The Resistance members are forced to work for WEC, extracting a precious radioactive component, Di-Corellium. There, WEC has established itself as the sole power, overseeing mining procedures and using the moon as prison for dissidents. The protagonist of the game, a silencer known as the Captain, manipulates his escape pod into a WEC freighter heading towards the moon. Crusader: No Regret is a direct sequel to Crusader: No Remorse, its events starting 46 hours after those depicted in the previous game.
