Does anyone know of a site where I can download Call of Cthulhu-Prisoners of Ice BESIDES HOME OF THE UNDERDOGS. Thanks

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires · Fri 03/12/2004 08:32:47

I think that's one of those games you'll be hard-pressed to find anywhere else BESIDES HOME OF THE UNDERDOGS . Consider buying it.

Secret Fawful · Fri 03/12/2004 16:09:57

Well, I probably won't buy it, unless you would give me step-by-step instructions on how to download at home of the underdogs.

DragonRose · Fri 03/12/2004 16:18:57

You won't buy it unless you can download it

Ashen · Fri 03/12/2004 16:31:07

Fawful, try:
1) Go to the 'Prisioner of Ice' download page, here:
http://www.the-underdogs.org/downloadfile.php?file=games/p/prisonerice/files/prisonerice.zip&id=1395

2) Scroll about halfway down, until you see a blue banner, with a picture of a dog in a space helmet, and a 5 digit code.

3) Type the code into the text box a couple of lines down, and hit the purple 'GO' button. Remember, the code is case-sesitive - XXXXX is not the same as xxxxx.

4) If that doesn't work, try typing the code into the second text box.

If it still doesn't work, it might be something else with the way your system is set up, sorry.

I keep gettin the tricked page.

InCreator · Fri 03/12/2004 17:16:36

to avoid "tricked!" page,

- Disable all kind of download accelerating software
- Erase IE history, if you're using IE - it may just happen that image with code was loaded into your machine last time you tried to get this (or any other) game and now you're getting wrong image from cache all the time
- if using firewalls, unload them
- if using proxy, disable it
- if using Kazaa, emule or any other pirating software, close them - kazaa running at the time you're trying to download - seems to trick underdogs though they're not related in any way.
- Try either pressing enter or clicking on "ok" button, it had happened that one works and other not
- ask your friend to try to get the game with his computer and then send it to you
- visit www.abandonia.com and see if you can get the game from there. Or get some of the others neat oldies up there.

It keeps downloading a file called error.

http://abandonware.the-frenchkiss.biz/

It's in the 'Full CD (ISO)' section and is a more complete version than the one at Underdogs. You may need to register.

EDIT: Remember to click on 'American' on the front page for the English language version of the site.

Secret Fawful · Sat 04/12/2004 02:44:59

thanks
but how do I keep from being sent back to the main page?

pslocum · Sat 04/12/2004 02:51:43

"If you have any trouble for downloading a game (back to index, for example), Please disable your firewall or each "anti-referall" software"

The same goes for download managers. I doubt it's a firewall problem, but it might have something to do with how you're trying to download it.

Secret Fawful · Sat 04/12/2004 17:27:25

what's anti-referral software? Hey, I know! Would you download it and send it to me? Or put it up somewhere and give me a link?
You could send it to me over MSN Messenger! 8)

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires · Sat 04/12/2004 17:35:16

What? How can anyone send an over 200Mb file over Messenger?

I know this is frowned upon, but if you're so desperate, why not use EMule?

The same was you send a 20kb one :o

Secret Fawful · Sat 04/12/2004 21:52:11

I tried using Emule but I could not get anything to download

Chicky · Sat 04/12/2004 22:30:16

Can you do anything?

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires · Sat 04/12/2004 22:45:39

I didn't know MSN allowed such huge file transfers. And do they work? Don't they time out or something?

And Faw, what about KaZaa? If not, then give up and buy the game, it should be easier!

pslocum · Sat 04/12/2004 23:24:31

Or give up.

Secret Fawful · Sat 04/12/2004 23:56:51

Kaaza has game files?
