Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

Fromt the sidebar: No Kickstarter, Steam Greenlight, et al. "reminder" posts. Submissions about new projects or major updates to existing ones are allowed.

Also, you have missed the point of Greenlight.

And it won't because it's now considered Abandonware.

[–]Gozujohn2k 2 points3 points ago

Seeing as it is Abandonware, you might as well download it as Microsoft won't bother with copyright infringement charges.

I remember getting this on my 13th birthday, 9 years ago now. Hard to believe it's been out since 1999. Still one of the best games ever.

Only the owner of the IP can put a submission on Greenlight.

As the owner of a genuine copy from back in the day, I tried to play a couple games with a friend a month ago, and I couldn't find a single machine that would run it.

Really I have played on my Vista machine. If it plays on Vista it should play on 7.
