I'd love to finally get a chance to check out Dungeon Keeper, one of those games I regret not buying when I had a computer old enough to run it and a cheap copy available.

Not really illegal, since it is abandonware. I found two places online that had it and DKII as a download. DK2 runs fine under Win7.

As has been stated many times before, there isn't such a thing as abandonware. As long as the copyright holder hasn't explicitly made the game free-to-get (whether that's freeware, completely open, or whatnot), you do not have permission to get a copy without reimbursing them. If there's no way to reimburse them for the copy, you simply don't have permission to get a copy unless it's second hand.

Not that many people make a big deal out of it. You might compare the difference between going into an electronics store and stealing a high-def TV set and going into a candy store to shoplift a bubblegum.

I can't.
1. I have Vista which runs practically nothing.
2. My computer is too new to run it.
3. I have shit Vista.

Vista barely runs emulators let alone actual computer games. You should have seen the bumblefuck I had to go through just to play Spore.

Virtualize XP or 2000 or something older on it then. :) There is always a solution! :p

Once you get a copy try playing it with KeeperFX.

*DosFreak pities the fools who don't have DK.

Where dos it say all this I cn't find it on the site.
How do I do this?

If you have an old copy of XP / 98 / 2000 / whatever, make an image of the disc, you can use ImgBurn for that.

Then just download and install VMware Player (which is free), and make a virtual machine and mount the image to install the older OS.

Well, that will happen whenever EA signs on. Which, even though they are one of the potential publishers being brought into the magical world of GOG, I actually doubt it's them. Which is a pity, since they of all publishers have so many good old games to contribute from all the game companies they broke down and assimilated in the late 90s. You know, like the Ultima series, System Shock 2 (only the #1 most requested game on this site). Oh, and Dungeon Keeper and all the other bullfrog stuff.

Personally, I'm thinking its Eidos. Now that the source code has been found for the Dark Engine or whatever, we may be able to see re-releases of Thief 1 and 2 that actually work on modern systems without significant hoop jumping. And I guess we get Tomb Raider as well, since those games were also PC games in addition to being for the PS1. It's not necessarily what I would want, but I'm not going to complain.

Funny my wifes Vista computer runs most things quite happily and thats Vista 64 and how the hell did you have trouble with spore you insert the disc hit install and enter the key...

110% agree with that statement, played the demo for 20 mins and uninstalled it, real shame really in its attempt to not be dk, it ended up being absolutely terrible just seemed more like a chore than fun to play

you know what I really want here on GoG?

Carmageddon

Just bought a used copy of DK and Deeper Dungeons in mint condition for 1€ at the flea market.

Vista runs like shit. And the way Spore runs. Not installing it. Is everyone on here as rude as you?
