This thread inspired me to download ROTT for xbox. I'm not going to lie, I'm having fun with it, but I don't remember it being so hard...

The game costs 20 bucks over steam - and you get every other Half life 1 game and mod connected to it with that deal. It can be downloaded and played within 10 minutes. That aint gonna break your wallet or anything.

You'd probably have more luck looking for it under its european title "Little Big Adventure" since it's much more popular in Europe than here. Also, there are patches to get both games working under XP.

I was unaware of XP patches, that's why I never hunted these down... do these patches include sound compatability? I truely miss these games, as I really only got to play the demo of the first one (and the same levels on my buddy's PC when he got the full version and needed help getting into the game).

All I can vouch for is that I had no problems with sound compatibility, but I suppose that might vary from card to card.

So do I, but look at Anish's system specs. They're well beyond being limited to just those.

WHAT?! Goddammit, I have no clue where I put my disc. I bought it off eBay for like $2 and never even got to play it because I never put my DOS box together. :(

Here's a real windows port done by one of the original coders (haven't tried this out yet): http://lbawin.akoonet.com/

And here's FunnyFrog's patch/hack: http://www.magicball.net/disknode/ge.../lbaptch2a.zip

Really is a fantastic game (horrendous voice acting and art design though)

EDIT: Oh, and for the second game, here's the video patch: http://www.magicball.net/disknode/ge.../lba2patch.zip

Oh yeah, since that site is a pain in the ass about downloads, I've attatched the file of the windows port.
