Terminus

Hi everybody, I have this game called Terminus.
Game infos here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminus_(2000_video_game)
You can view some images here: http://vvisions.logical.net/terminus/graphics_frame.htm

Requirements for Mac, the game discs also have the Windows and Linux version included.
G3-300 mhz CPU or faster
At least 96 megs of ram
OpenGL compatible video card
OpenGL 1.1.2 or later
Virtual Memory (at least 128MB)
Mac OS 8.6 or 9.0
4x or faster CD-ROM

I believe it qualifies as abandonware, released in 2000 and extremly hard to find (got it off ebay, almost new but complete with the box, manual and the 3 game discs after searching for 6 years all around the web), no official OS X release (although there is a fan made one that never worked for me), patches still available on the official website but not updated in years.

Before even thinking about uploading it, any interest for it? It is a 3 CD game, one is the install, one is the movies and one is the soundtrack.

I think I saw the auction as well on german ebay last week and even thought about bidding? Smile It would be great if you could find some time to upload it, it definately qualifies as abandonware.

Thanks, but it is divided into 42 pieces with a 80 second delay between each download. About an hour of waiting total between downloads. Fewer pieces would be nice.

Sorry if it seems like i am ungrateful, i really appreciate you doing this (even if i am to impatient to use what you gave me).

Can´t help you with that but with something like jDownloader you can set it and carry on with what you want to do. Smile

It is not a direct link, it is an automaticly generated link. So i cant use download managers with it.

You can use jDownloader with 4shared folders. I've gotten a few games from this site using it.

Just copy the two urls into jDownloader and when it asks if you want to scan the subdirectories or just the files, pick just the files.

Well you download disc 2, i'll do disc 1 and someone else can do disc 3. Then in 20 minutes we'll all be able to upload he full CDs to MegaUpload or MediaFire. By tomorrow morning we'll each have all thre discs.

Mac compatibility confirmed. Installs under SS and 8.6 but nor sure if it runs ok, won´t play cutscenes and pointer doesn´t respond. Might run on real HW.

i have downloaded CD 2, but it is not an iso. I have to burn it then create an iso from that, and i don't always have access to a cd burner. meanwhile i am downloading CD 3 also. If no one gets a link for CD 1 before i download all of CD 3 i will download CD 1 too.

i downloaded CDs two and three, i am going to download CD one now. I have created the terminus page and added a link to CD 3 (which is the only one i have uploaded yet) they are in cue/bin format. I would of made CD images but it only would get the mac standard part of the cd. (they were hybrid) And CD 3 was an audio cd. (you can't make an image out of them, i tried)

Please help me, CD 1 is too large to burn to a cd! I can't burn it to a cd because it is too large, it burns and then says disk IO error. And it says it is corrupt in disk utility! The .bin file is 780 MB, CDs don't hold that much!

You won't be able to burn a bin/cue file with Disk Utility. You have to use Toast (or something like SimplyBurns or Firestarter FX if it also contains CD audio).

If it's just a data track then you could convert it to a iso using binchunker.

I am sorry i could not get them up, megaupload will not work on my computer for some reason. Someone please download CDs one and two, convert them with bitchunker to isos and upload them for me. Sorry about this, but i have no idea why megaupload won't work.
