Archive.org is -sadly- often a haven for pirated games. It's just way
to easy to find titles --either complete CDs ready for burning, or
already set up in click-to-play emulation-- on the site.

But "Unreal" and "Unreal Tournament" are not amongst these. Oh sure,
you can find them on the site easily enough... but they aren't there
illegitimately. In fact, Epic has given Archive.org their blessing to
host those games,* and for people to download and play them.

[For reasons nobody understands, Epic no longer sells
these games... anywhere. They've been delisted from
digital services for years.]

So if you don't own a copy of the game (or do but can't find your
discs), then head on over to Archive.org and grab the ISOs. The
original "Unreal" is a bit rough in the playing, but "Unreal
Tournament" is still as fun as it was back in 1999.

Here are the links to make things a bit easier. Beware the warcow!

Man, I had forgotten how long it takes to dl a CD at 1 Mbps. I remember
when I thought T1 was the shit. Heck, I remember 768 kbps SDSL being an
incredible step up.

At least UT came down at about 5 mbps.

I booted up Unreal Tournament 2004 the other night and played it
off-line for a little while :-)
