I was wondering if it would be at all possible to make Impossible Creatures a free download. I live in Australia, and it has been discontinued, as far as I can tell, in my country. I would be really cool if this game could be made a free game.
All hail RELIC

Get it off eBay. I too am an Aussie and that is the only way I could find it but it all turned up after about 3 days and I was happy with it.
Seriously, though, make it freeware! all the copies being bought now are off ebay, so relic and MS aren't losing anything!
thank you Jianaran. This game needs to be made free. Not only that, but it also needs to be aloud to be used in gaming mags. It nott like they get extra money out of it, and it would be good for the 56k's to get there hands on this game.
I had the demo, and I always wanted it. the problem was, there was never a copy in ANY of my local shops.

Hey guys, be careful not to mention abandonware. (Obligatory Warning...)
Anyway, yeah, I do feel that the old games should be made freeware. It's entirely upto the publisher however and they seem to intend to keep it that way.
So we can just wait, hoping, can't we?
heh look how long it took for master of orion 1 to come out for nothing on the net like 14 years!
I fully support Jagjis idea to make Impossible Creatures a free download.
I actually have the game and i bought it when it was first released, i totally love it but finding multiplay victims online to challenge is almost impossible.
Therefore if it will get me more people to play with, i support the idea that it be made Freeware. Failing that, at the least a Multiplayer freeware version that is compatible with Registered owners like myself. A similar model to the FEAR game would even been good.

Relic doesn't own the IP, Microsoft does.
Come on, Relic ^^

Relic (actually THQ) doesn't own Impossible Creatures. They *can't* release it for free.

This would be a good thread if atari hadnt bought IC and MS gave a shit about the game anymore.
Atari has released a version of IC but its a bitch to patch according to most threads I have seen
Is 20 pound for the weight like 30 pounds if a guy lifts?
REKISo either your little non-english speaking weightlifting neighbour has broken in to your house to borrow your computer & Relic forums login, or you're spinning us a line.. :p
Belgarion, would you be able to give us a link to this Atari edition?

Its just the jewel case edition
what makes it so hard to patch?

Get it try it and find out
I had a load of problems with ME when I first installed then when XP came along it flew through it.
Its a lottery but mine were the original Microsoft and Relic disks and Ive heard that you get a wierd entry level error when installing the Atari version
I look on Amazon, and they still have copy of the Microsoft edition, so I mite by it of there.
If homeworld 1 and cataclysm are still not free then it means IC is a long way off. One note of interest though: C&C 1 recently went free so by what I gather free Homeworld 1 within this decadelook to the next for IC.
They're still selling it on gameplanet NZ (http://www.gpstore.co.nz/Games/1456799.html)
Can we at least get a response from relic as to who we should pressure to get this done?

This game is dead to Relic.
Microsoft are the guys to talk to but who the hell would listen about an old game like this

I honestly doubt there will be an answer to this any time soon. You're welcome to e-mail our community liaison, but as mentioned, the license is not owned by Relic or THQ, so they can't really do a thing at the moment. The ball is entirely in Microsoft's court, and I'd be surprised if they were to do anything like this.
Closing this now to prevent further bumps without substance, sorry guys.
