There's also the usual homebrew (BOR, Simpson's Quake, etc.) and emulation.

Thanks for the link. I just tried it out. Very polished game. I hope there's more homebrew like that in the pipeline(s)!

Nero tends to screw with burning DC-games, I've had good experiences with Alcohol120% -> http://trial.alcohol-soft.com/en/

Most of the games look shoddy, but Feet of Fury and Cool Herders are supposed to be decent. Let me know if you find any that are worthwhile.

Don't think you looked very hard. The first link that mentioned it has it.

Here is a direct download link (http://dcevolution.net/cgi-bin/download.pl?file=BOR%20Collection%202.rar)

Enjoy

DC Evolution doesn't allow offsite linking and redirects you right back to their front door. ;)

Here's a link to BOR Collection page (http://www.dcevolution.net/collection_borvol1.php) that I think Stobe is looking for. Stobe: the download link is on the right. Download and burn with Alcohol 120%, DiskJuggler, or something similar.

I hope that someone continues Aleph One developement. I'd much rather play that then Quake (although Simpsons Quake is pretty cool until it crashes).

This is highly likely :) (I was born into the "skim the page" generation, lol)

Actually, everytime I looked at the downloads, all I saw was "DiscJugler", which I did not want to download. I failed to notice that it was 224 MB :).

Thanks guys.
