Jack Rammsdell@Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2008 6:20 am : Just bought it
can't beat the price.
Brain Trepaning@Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2008 6:36 am : DO I get an actual ISO or somesuch that I can keep around on disk and install at my leisure, or will I have to hook up to Steam when I want to install one of the programs?
stabinbac@Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2008 8:30 am : It's through Steam. You'll have to be connected to download. Steam has an offline mode.
You can also "backup" games. It allows for faster re-installs and it can be run from CDs. It saves you from having to download it again, but requires a very quick check with the steam servers. You can play right away unless an update is "needed".
Yeah, it's steam.
It's $35 for 22 games and expansions. Not bad at all.
The Happy Friar@Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2008 1:33 pm : screw steam. It's the SAME data files as you get on a CD. Except for Quake 2 & 3, all run with the origional EXE's under DOSBOX. The ONLY thing you can't get a GPL engine for (from what I understand) is Keen. So get a custom engine & burn all those + the custom engine to a CD/DVD.
Tell Steam/id to go to heck & you're keeping it YOU way!
Brain Trepaning@Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2008 2:43 pm : The thing is, for me anyway, I doubt I would ever actually play the games, but it would be cool to have a DVD or two with all of id's library in one spot, and I would pay $35 for that.
