It's been free for about 15 years?

A company called "Freeloader" first offered it for free years ago (at least in the UK), along with a few others including Jimmy White's Cueball 2. It was back in the days of 56k and if I recall correctly a lot of the textures had been compressed badly, and the game itself didn't look anywhere near as good as the original as a result (same goes for Cueball 2!).

Yes thanks for letting me know !

I have finally played all the games my PC can run, so i've just started looking for some Classic Retro titles...

I've put off trying GTA 2 ... But now i think its time for some Majuuuur Top-Down Crime antics :-)

It's curious that Rockstar say they're going to harvest the details you input, regardless of whether or not you put details in allowing you to download the game.

Although having said that, who, in their right mind, is going to try downloading an 18 rated game and say they're... 12, or whatever?
