Anyone have any idea as to where I can download a Windows version of this game? It's not in stores considering it's so old and it's not available legally online from anywhere (that I can find). I'd like to avoid the ebay route...

Thanks!

your only option would be getting the torrent or rapidshare links
 
what about abandonwares? ??they might have it pending the date of release
 
This - "8 Aug 2008 ... I'm not sure if it's abandonware, but on it's on HOTU so it should be." from a google search ... and this - "it's available on Underdogs as abandonware" .............. so it looks like try Underdogs then.

Unfortunately I can't find a torrent that anyone is seeding! I'm surprised as even though it was released in 1999 it really is the best strategy game out there in my opinion. As for Rapidshare - I can find links for it but for months now Rapidshare has been telling me my IP address is already downloading a file when it's not. I've tried 3 browsers and none of them work :mad:

Thanks I'll try HotU as soon as it decides to load :D
 
Oh great...just my luck. Wikipedia on HotU - "As of September 2008, the site appears to be offline after over two years of inactivity."
 
I have this game here at home.

It truly is a classic, though it's slow and takes ages to play. But once you are in it, it gets to you. Making alliances, betraying allies, frantic rush to complete research, sending out probe teams, and of course, special projects. All while the alien fungus comes after you.

Must be fun over multiplayer :D
