It's online!

Basicaly you can buy old games without any DRM. So if you are interested in it, good news.

I checked a few games, like Shogo, and so far for all they are compatible with XP and Vista. I don't know if that means the installer or the game itself, but looks promising.

Mind you, it looks like they only sell quite old games only.

I think I read somewhere that they are including DOSBox with the games to make them "compatible".

they have Fallout 1 & 2!!!!!

btw anyone think the front page is reminiscent of steam?

I'll have to keep an eye out on this one

Ah, they've went public then? good for them.

I got into the closed beta a couple of months ago, bought MDK2 and Descent 3, both well optimized for Vista and costed me $5.99 for both

Buy these games, more will follow, support non DRM game distribution!

Edit: Omg Op Fap is FINALLY out, BUY BUY BUY!

MDK2 was great fun, got a free copy with a soundblaster a few years back
