Well, I know this sounds really lame, but I'm a disabled mainframe programmer that has nothing better to do all day than surf the net and play PC games. I am looking for Unreal... My PC is a 1.66 MHz Celeron with 256M of RAM and I am running Win XP Pro Svc. Pack 2. I am looking for any older version of Unreal, and I don't mind if all you have is the free Demo version. My PC runs Quake 3 with little or no problem(s), and I know that Unreal was written using the Quake 3 engine, and I used to have a copy of the Unreal Demo on my ex's PC. Yes, she even took that... LOL I know that I am probably breaking the rules of this newsgroup with such a blatantly honest and corny appeal, but I have little or nothing to lose... If you do have the full version, maybe I have something that you would like in trade. I know... I probably have nothing that you don't already have, but I am more than willing to offer what few games that I do have. Regardless, thanks for reading my request.

Still, drop me an email at agutgopostal at hotmail dot com and I'll post you my Unreal Gold. You can trade out for a postcard or two from where you live (I collect them).

The only way to get Unreal 1 (what a classic) working in XP is to install it and run it through Unreal Tournament 99's frontend.. the program's called something retro.. or retro something.. gimme a minute and I'll look it up.. ebay for unreal 1 - sure to find an original copy! best of luck though!! :) - Nick

The extra RAM that is most XP boxes helps the game immensely.

Runs super for me with XP Pro SP2 on an AMD system: FX-62 eVGA 7900GTX SC 2Gb OCZ Plat. Rev. 2 Been playing it since '98. It came free with a 3dFX Voodoo 3500TV card I bought. Simply an all-time classic.

I dug out all my old games I love playing and trying to get them all running on one rig again. I really miss Unreal and even DN3D :) Quake is the only one from that period that does run even in x64. All the others are going to have to install in the 32 bit boot. I never got to see most of these playing in higher res than 1024x768. Love to see them in 1600x1200 with everything they got cranked up :)) It's been a long time since I played the Unreal story out! McG.
