Is System Shock 2 Free…

Is Dune 2 Abandonware? I explain, boringly.

I’ve not written on here in a while for two reasons. Firstly, now that I’m working at Dennis I just don’t have the time – huge commute, more work. Secondly, we’ve launched our own blogs on bit-tech.net.

On the bit-tech blog I’m running a continuing feature on Games I Own, as well as a few other things. So far I’ve covered Baldur’s Gate, Call of Cthulu, The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain, No One Lives Forever and a few others. Some future posts I have coming over the next few weeks look at what’s more important; good graphics or good presentation, specifically looking at grafitti in popular games, and What I Learned from Deus Ex.

You can keep track of all my blog posts at bit-tech.net by clicking here, filtering out the rubbish the others write.

I also wrote a feature recently that looks at Abandonware, discussing the ethics and legality of it all, as well as pointing to some good free abandonware games. It makes mention of System Shock 2, Dune 2: Battle for Arrakis, Syndicate and so on. Link: Abandonware: The Ethics and Essentials.

That’s all for now. I have to go look at flats, then I’m heading over to Ubisoft for a bit. 

Out, Joe.
