Syndicate Wars

Pickers · 12-09-2006, 13:11

I remembered this out of the blue the other day and thought I'd really like to play it again. I borrowed it for my PS1 about 9 years ago!!

Does anyone have this, as I've heard its now abandonware, but then this leaves the problem of finding a healthy full copy only to find it wont run under xp...
Has anyone else played it recently / got it working or anything?
Its really old school, but I'm in the need to re-live games gone by!

You should be able to run in 98 / ME / 2000 compatability mode if it doesnt work straight away.

Yup. I've got it.

Should run find under XP *doesn't under XP64 though iirc*

It's a great game though. Not as good as Syndicate or Syndicate: American Revolt - but still great.

Problem I have with it is that it runs really really fast on a modern PC, I think you have to use CPU limiter or somthing.

Pickers · 12-09-2006, 19:04

yeah - I found that.. bah nevermind.. I have enough to do at the moment anyway!

Even though I know no-one here cares and I'm no longer an OcUK Don, I still have the urge to point out that abandonware isn't legal :/ I don't particularly care myself, I guess old habits die hard

I used to regularly spout that at people who posted links to it on OcUK....

...while making notes of the URL's.

I'd never do anything like that! *cough*

I did however suspend McDaniel once for posting a link to a zip file of a porn star. When I sent him the email telling him he was suspended, I also asked him for more pictures
