I like it ~ I think they did a very good job remaking the game. QFG2 is one of my favorites of the series, in general.

I haven't played much QfG, I should, from what I hear, it's great!

I've yet to download the QFG2 remake, but I've heard nothing but positive things, so I've got my hopes up. I guess I'm just trying to find time to download the first QFG so I can make a new Hero; playing through with my saved one from a few years back wouldn't seem right, considering that I already played through the whole series with him. Time for some new blood.

QfG1 cannot legally be downloaded.

I thought abandonia was legal. They have it there.

Abandonware is not legal. Until the owner of the IP releases a game to pubic domain, it can be offered for download only by or with permission of the owner of that IP.

Abandonia offers the first three QFG games for download, and the fourth will be made available in 2009. I believe Abandonia has an agreement with the ESA, and all their games are checked through multiple sources to make sure that the games are legally available. I'm sure that they'd be more than happy to answer any questions about the legality of their site.

As I said, QfG1 cannot legally be downloaded. Just because a site says it is legal does not make it so. Butterfly Media was very insistent that what they are doing is legal, until you threaten them with the ESA. Then they very quickly back down. The Underdogs will pull anything that the ESA says to, but that is only what they get caught distributing. Most of the rest is just ignored. That still does not make it anymore legal. Abandonware has NO legal meaning.

Well, regardless of the legal issues, I'm still downloading it. The way I see it, if Abandonia hosts it, it's legal enough for me!
