MechCommander seems to be available now.  I am not that terribly interested, but it seem obtainable now.

AFAIK - the files are still there, they just limit it to 20 downloads atta time.  I've gotten MC and MCG, not sure if I want to get 2, beacuse I am naturally wary of No-CD cracks...

I think it's odd that Microsoft is giving away something for free.

 And where do I sign up for the class action lawsuit against microsoft demanding the 50 bucks (each) I paid for these games when they first came out ???

They have done it at times and not always for anti competive reasons.  They have even open sourced at least one game.  Admitedly there are restriction on that game but it is freely available.

The site now has a forums with technical assistance, etc.  I think they also intend to place the files in bittorent form in the near future.

J. Carney, IF your still offering, The guys might take you up on that.

LAst night, while Trying to burn an ISO of MC2, my DVD burner went Whiiiiiizzzz poot.

IT'll be about a week or two before I can get into town and buy a new one. Of course IF they don't mind waiting, It's just I thought you might be able to help them faster.

Still can't get it.

If anybody wants to email me the .rar files I can upload them to XenoCorp FTP.

E-mail won't handle something that big, but I'll put a disk in the mail on Friday.

You might be able to upload the file here, then 762 can move it.. I'd do it but on satellite my upload speed is FAR worse than D/L

From the main page, Downloads and Library Upload should do it.  It accepts .rar files.  Then just tell him the file name.

You might try Daemon Tools, it is a CD Rom (and DVD) emulator. It lets you run an ISO as if it is an actual CD/DVD.  It should allow you to run the game and install even without getting the new burner.  No need to wait the week to play the game.
