I remember seeing a website that had dead software titles available for download (or purchase). I was looking for a copy of Third Reich. Does anyone have a link?

Has all sorts of games, or links to places you can buy them. Unfortunately they've had to add pop-up ads recently.

The GuI is primitive but the game plays just like the board game - so you can use it to test strategies.

I hate it when software companies try to "improve" a game a.k.a. star fleet battles/star fleet command or squad leader and don't get it right.

Sounds like we played some of the same old board games. I was pretty psyched when Squad leader and Starfleet command came out but you're right they did not get it quite right. I keep meaning to get back into Third Reich and maybe just get used to the GUI

< Edit > Just visited the Avalon Hill website. what a sad state from the great company they once were. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Skulky,

Here is the link. If you have a firewall up you need to Disable it.
http://www.the-underdogs.org/downloadfile.php?file=games%2F0%2F2005%2Ffiles%2F2 005.zip&id=2971

After you arrive, click on here, to start download. If that doesn't work, the file is 176kb, I could email it to you.
