In celebration of 20 years of Tribes games, the current holders of the Tribes franchise - HiRez Studios - is giving away most of the Tribes games from the last two decades, from Earthsiege all the way through to Tribes Ascend. It's all perfectly legit and perfectly free; quite a nifty gift to the gaming community. Grab it all from here: http://www.tribesuniverse.com/ I actually own all these games already, but I don't mind getting them in a digital format so I don't have to pull out the CDs anymore. Alas, the collection isn't complete: the two Cyberstorm strategy games are missing. Although, oddly enough, HR Studio does provide an ISO for the Playstation 2 game Tribes: Ascend. These games are also just raw ISOs of the original disks, and getting them to work is left up to the user (however, see https://www.reddit.com/r/Tribes/comments/3qnsl9/entire_earthsiegestarsiege_franchise_available_to/ for some tips). It really makes me appreciate the effort GOG.com puts into their releases. Which in no way is a slur towards HR Studios; I think its great they have released these games for free. Grab 'em quick before they come to their senses ;-)
