If you like K240 ...

Shatterhand · 17 November 2001, 20:56

I've been searching for the PC version of K240 for years now and still no luck.. but... I've found a game called "Fragile Allegiance", it's a sequel (or a remake) of K240 for PC, from Gremlin itself.

It adds better gfx and sfx, biological weapons, new aliens (You can play against up to 6 aliens at the SAME TIME.), diseases, epidemies, a market much like Elite (You can buy stuff and sell for profit), black market (for illegal goods and weapons), and there's a lot in the diplomacy side (Like making treats and allies).

VERY recommended (Even more if, like me, you think K240 is the best strategy game ever done), you can get it at

www.theunderdogs.org (search for K240 and you will find it)

Oh !!!! I found this here !!! That's it's great discover for me, I'm a great fan of K240 !!!

But the link is dead, and it very difficult to found on web for an abandonware !!!

It's more, it's need DOUBLE account !!!
1 for the website (ok it's understand)
BUT 1 ANOTHER FOR PARTNER !!!

But more simple, use PermissionResearch! and past this for downloading :
"

Code:

make sure your browser is configured

"

It's made, impossible to found freely this abandonware in http, noting on freeoldies, nothig on gameslover, nothing on LTF and nothing on Aandonware paradise !!!

DamienD · 15 March 2007, 23:50

Ok, just tried going through the registation process on the website... It's absolutely rubbish just like you've said

Anyway, just read the first post by Shatterhand again. He's after the PC version of K240 and mentioned that he's already found Fragile Allegiance...

The site you linked to has Fragile Allegiance - K240 so it's useless anyway

I just did a search on eMule for K240... I found the Amiga version (Disk 1, 2 and 3) and another file K240.zip but it's only 1.76MB, don't think this is the PC version

Zetr0 · 16 March 2007, 02:47

Found it here, i hope it is really the full version.

http://www.cdosabandonware.com/std_g...php?gameid=540

Edit: Bah, a CD-rip.

Zetr0 · 16 March 2007, 03:21

I have found one on File plannet that is 22MB the one on C: DOS is only 10MB

what i will do is upload it for all those interested in downloading it, they can get it from my server (its quick btw LOL).

Retro-Nerd · 16 March 2007, 03:25

A friend on the Cgboard has the english version too, 24 MB. I will ask him if it's a CD Image, i hate rips.

Edit: Looks like the Fileplanet version is only a demo.

Zetr0 · 16 March 2007, 03:38

@retro-nerd,

indeed, the file plannet one is... damn!!!

I'm pretty sure my friend will answer during the day. Use the Underdogs link for now, but it is pretty slooooooooow.

Thanks RN!

EmuChicken · 16 March 2007, 06:19

damn, I've got this game at home in the UK... I bought it at Game after I saw the screenshots looked exactly like K240

I'll ask my family to see if they can bring it over so I can do you guys a cd rip.

Methanoid · 16 March 2007, 08:55

Good man Mr Chicken...

Human Ktulu · 16 March 2007, 10:06

Exactly, the complete game is on CD = env 550 Mo. For this light versions, intro are disabled and maybe somes musics ...

DamienD · 16 March 2007, 10:10

There's a WinRAR archive on eMule that is 450MB or something... I couldn't be bothered trying to download this but if people really want it then I'll add it tonight?

Might take a few days / a week or so but...

Zetr0 · 16 March 2007, 13:27

if you want DD, I can then get if from you and i will upload it to my fast hosting server

DamienD · 16 March 2007, 18:38

Ok, I'll fire up the old eMule now

As I'm sure you know though, you have to be patient with peer2peer clients

Adropac2 · 16 March 2007, 20:07

Always wanted to play K240 but being that it's fairly depthy i only ever got to the point where you can't build anything due to not have funds moved.

3 days ago i finally sat myself down to properly play it and now i'm really looking forward to trying to finish it.Always loved the atmosphere but never been able to understand it until now.Now that i'm older as well i seem to apreciatte strategy more so also looking forward to playing UFO.Supremacy i loved anyway because i could play that one and Deutros is probably one of my fave Amiga games anyway - not that i'm very good at it but the atmosphere again is something special.
