How nice of them!

Ooooh, thanks for that! I have Tribes on the PS2, nice to try out an unreleased PC version as well as the entire series including the early robot games.

I always regretted selling my copy of Sarseige. At the time, everyone I knew derided it for not being Tribes. The edition I had was nuts with the ultra thick manuals for all the mechs and the universe itself.

Useful links to get the old shit working.

While I played alot of Tribes 2, Tribes Vengeance will always be my favorite. It was like if Tribes 2 and UT2k4 had a baby with grappling hooks and skiing. It really took skiing to the next level.

We use to have the best pilots get into the missile pod and have several guys grapple onto the bottom and joust with them with the pneumatic lance thing. It was a complicated game that usually ended up in lots of team killing

I was able to get Earthsiege 1 working using the new installer (though I had to tweak the DOSbox settings to a higher cycles count for smooth gameplay). Earthsiege 2 won't start up on Win 10 x64, though I found a guide I'd like to try tonight that supposedly got it working. It looks like their Starsiege link is to the wrong ISO; it's just the Starsiege CD 1. Again, I found a link today that might fix it (the new installer needs two disks to work). If that doesn't work I'll probably acquire new ISOs since I'm considering this to be officially released in the wild. Assuming I get things working I'll update with what I did.

@ Pulsar_t, thanks again! I have all the ISOs downloaded, the one game zipped is four ISOs. All the ISOs are CD copies so I'll burn them first to CDRs to ensure a verified backup to install from.

Tribes Ascend is an EXE Installer File. Sadly, it requires an additional download which negates creating a permanent disc archive copy. Anyone know if it is similar to Steam with an online authenticate front end? I know its an online style game, curious if it could be played as a "practice" level offline. I uninstalled it and the descriptions seem to point back to the server even during the uninstall.

This describes how to get Earthsiege II working. I've found that the game just won't let me switch to full screen, which means my taskbar shows up at the bottom when I force the game to run at 640x480 (so the game is in windowed mode). So right now the work around is to then kill explorer after launching the game, then restarting explorer afterwords. Kinda clunky, and I might look into automating that with a batch file/powershell script at some point.

Where's this? I can't seem to find it on the page linked in the OP.

Um, it's a PS2 ISO. Distributed without an emulator or instructions how to obtain and use one.
