Downloading Alien Crossfire (legally)

[MyndWyrm]

I can't find a reasonably priced Alien Crossfire copy anywhere, not even on ebay. I found this site (http://www.classicpcgames.com/?p=download&ei=Sid_Meiers_Alien_Crossfire) where apparently you pay £10.00 for a months access and can download as many games as you want. Has anyone ever used it or does anyone know where I can find a copy/download?

Thanks.

Check out Home of the Underdogs. It's ripped, though, so you won't get the Secret Project (Wonder) movies.

Tried it but I just get a "Engine Error: Archive Verification Failed" error message when downloading normally with a StuffIt Standard Demo and something about an invalid file extension when using BitTorrent.

If you use a download accelerator, don't have it split the download into more syncronyous downloads when downloading from Home of the Underdogs, or they will ban your IP for a few hours if you download more than one thing at a time from them.

I found Alien Crossfire bundled in something called "The Laptop Collection". It also had the original Alpha Centauri, SC3KU, Tiger Woods '99, and C&C: Red Alert 2. Should be available in stores. You might be able to order it from Electronic Arts, also. And no, you don't have to have a laptop computer.

I wish I could get my hands on that one, but I can't find it in stores (probably because I don't live in the USA), and the webshops that sell it want payment by credit-card, and I don't have one.
