The biggest games of the last decade are being wiped off the internet for no good reason.

        Spacewar enters the chat

          I strongly recommend against downloading a pirated version of spacewar as the original was shareware and the source code for multiple versions is available on github. For those purists https://archive.org/details/SPACEWAR_1020

            I don’t think we’re talking about the same Spacewar. The Spacewar I’m talking about is “used” by pirated games only to the extent that they make steam think the pirated game is spacewar, unlocking access to the steamworks API, including multiplayer support.
