This is the computer game that I played the most when it first came out. The fact that it is available now on my newer computer almost brought a tear to my eye. Excellent work, my friends. Now I need Shadow Warrior and Blood and life will be good.

Well, you know, Blood is actually considered abandonware, at least the three original episodes. Tell you what, I'll make a guide and post on the forums on how to obtain, install and run it (and have it working). If not for my bad habit of procrastination I can propably have the "guide" up by tomorrow. If It's not, nag until I do it.

Abandonware is not actually legal, a post such as you intend will probably be moderated.
as always, google is your best friend in the world.

Meh, even if it's not entirely legal it's not entirely illegal either, it's like a grey zone really.
And the site that I downloaded Blood from (abandonia) actually seems pretty careful about that stuff. They have taken some games down and they have a list of games that may be considered abandonware (and their respective copyright status).
Anyway, even if I'm not allowed to hand out a link to a download, I hope I can still make a guide to get it running.

I visit sites like that myself and though they may be in a grey area, gogs forums is just not the best place to discuss or link to said sites. I imagine if your trying secure the rights to sell the game online and your forum is littered with abandonware links it will make that job much harder.
A guide to getting blood to run would be awesome though.

I guess you're right, and I hope I'll get the guide up tomorrow. Hopefully I can show some screenshots too, but it will be pretty hard to stay under the 2MB limit.
I would have no problem paying for Blood with the Plasma Pak as well as Shadow Warrior with its relevant expansions right here, honestly. They would be worth it.
