Where can I get Colonization?

[napoleon526]

I seem to have lost my only copy of Colonization. This distresses me, as I still play it. Does anybody know any online sources I can buy it from?

Here's something: ebay.

This thread used to be stickied to warn that it is not abandonware. But...it has come in the gray-zone.

 

[napoleon526]

Thanks, Matrix! And I was asking about legit copies, nothing illegal.

 

[Matrix]

I know. It's just a warning, since about every time someone asks this someone else comes up with some warez site.

The game trading zone has 15 copies available for sale or trade at present.

i happen to have a copy of colonization that doesn't need the CD to run the game :cute:

 

[Matrix]

Really, SunTzu? As lang as you don't post it.

Maybe if Colonization became abandonware, people might become interested in it again.

But then again (curls original gaming box close to heart) eh...I'll keep the secret.

 

[Matrix]

Games like these are too old and should indeed be abandoned.

 

[SunTzu]

Matrix, do u have Colonization? cause i would like to repay the favor from a few months ago

 

[Matrix]

I already have Colonization. If you wanna return the favour, try not to get banned anymore. I'd seriously like that, since you were a mod yourself once too.

 

[SunTzu]

its not my fault i get banned, its everyone elses especially those damn euro's

I got my copy on E-bay and I only spent a total of $7, and I am pretty sure that included the cost of the shipping.

If they make it abandonware, doesn't that mean that anybody can pick up the rights for a sequel? If so, I doubt they'll ever abandon it.
Anyway, if I see piles of old games at markets and stuff I always look for civ1 and colonization, originals... If I ever get doubles I'll let you know

 

[conormcgarry]

a good place to get it is on where? or huh? or what?

Moderator Action: Perhaps you haven't read the second post, but Colonization is not abandonware.

Abandonkeep has been closed down unfortunately. I think the other two have gone also.

 

[Captain Carnage]

It certainly looks that way.

 

[Jayne]

Well, I just got a copy on e-bay for 99p! You can't complain about that sort of price!

 

[Captain Carnage]

Damn right

 

[Matrix]

Howee! That's the lowest price I've ever seen for any game. (Except freeware of course. )
