Hello all, I have a new PC, hooray! But my old games (BF1942, CoD etc) won't play. I am wondering if there are any new games with downloadable Demo levels that I can try? They used to be all the rage, even ToEE had one I believe (the moathouse). Do such things still exist? I tried the latest CoD games and didn't see any. Or do you need Steam...?
Windows 10 does have a pretty good selection of game apps in the store, there are a lot of free to play games on steam. You can also check GameCopyWorld.com for cd cracks for your old games to make them essentially DRM free.
Steam is your friend ...... your friend ...... you want Steam, you need Steam ....... only Steam games are fun. MWAHAHAHAH!
Oh Origin is a good idea too - it's the Electronic Arts company's equivalent to steam, every couple of months they offer a different free full game "on the house" (currently Mass Effect 2) but I have also redeemed Nox, Dungeon Keeper, Ultima VIII, Theme Hospital, Need for Speed Most Wanted among others without having to part with a single penny for any of them.
It would seem that most of the game client type set ups have come a long way from when they were resource hogs. I too enjoy an origin acct and am very pleased with their offerings, Steam is actually pretty good too. I have acquired quite a library of memory editors that are Steam friendly so I can cheat my butt off, (single player of course).
That's what Elizabeth and Abraham did with Origin? Once they created worlds... o well, a free copy of Ultima 8 would be good, I never finished it. Currently playing Age of Empires - Castle Siege (free from the app store), which is just a pale imitation of Clash of Clans. How the mighty have fallen... having fun though.
