So, great news!
Not too long ago, the folks at OldUnreal announced in their Discord server that they got permission from Epic Games to distribute two particular links from archive.org to download Unreal Gold and Unreal Tournament.
Now they’ve published installers for automating the installation process, as well as installing their patches on top of Unreal/UT.
The installers are available to download on the links down below:
Unreal Gold Installer: https://www.oldunreal.com/downloads/unreal/full-game-installers/
Unreal Tournament Installer: https://www.oldunreal.com/downloads/unrealtournament/full-game-installers/
These are Windows only, but Linux and macOS installers are also gonna be released sometime soon, it seems!
Enjoy!
Holy shit, that’s awesome! Finally Epic is doing some good. Let’s hope Sweeney doesn’t swoop in to stop it.
Considering the OldUnreal team still has access to the source code for these two games, and develop patches for them to this day, I find it, thankfully, extremely unlikely!
I really like the idea of this. I’m going to book mark the link and never click it.
Hell yeah, that’s awfully nice of them. I have fond memories of playing Unreal Tournament '99
Sounds like it might be time to Return to Nali Pali!!
I still play 1999 GOTY Edition UT.
UNSTOPPABLE!!
GODLIKE!!!
M-M-M MONSTER KILL!!!
fuck yeah. does chaos mod still work? I miss a good grappling hook.
I haven’t tested it but it should work. OldUnreal’s patches are backwards compatible.
I better make sure I have my Unreal games installed because there’s about to be a small influx of old and new players for about a month
Don’t let Sweeney hear about this.
I’m surprised Digital Extremes isn’t mentioned. Did they sell off their stake at some point?
