Tribes 1 & 2 For Free!

Post by **Derek** » Tue Apr 13, 2004 11:21 am

Tribes: Vengeance is going to be released later this year. Tribes publisher, Vivendi, decided it would be a good idea to give everyone a chance to try the last two games: Tribes and Tribes 2 for free!!

im interested in tribes.
looks like i may have to install the 9.1version penguine i got off ebay if it wont work on billy's platform. anyone know if it is windows compatable? also can it be played on a home LAN? cause i dont like "online" play(probably something to do with my poor quality dialup)

They released the two games last week. If you are having problems downloading it, let me know and I'll get them up on a BP6.Com server.

I'll second that. FilePlanet makes me wait for an hour and then is really slow, and I can't even find Tribes 2 on the site.

Okay, It'll be up in a few minutes...

mentions of Tribes 2 was released with keys.
and they are already out of keys.
shame about copy-protection, but it's their game....

Okay, Tribes 2 ready for download:

Unzip the TAR file as you would a ZIP file.

*EDIT* Attachment removed.

tar ball? wouldn't a zip be more widely used?

Thank you, Derek! No waiting and a 250KB/sec download - beautiful.

I seem to remember hearing that "Tribes 2" could be had on Linux. Can anybody tell me where I can download it?

It used to be published by Loki, but they stopped selling them. I don't know if you can just download an executable for a win32 version, some Linux games you have to buy.
