After Epic Games cancelled UT4 and removed the franchise from every store front, now they have given the okay to put Unreal and Unreal Tournament on the Internet Archive.
The first Unreal has only one thing you can do: Complete the game, and walk freely.Patches available on Oldunreal page, but I highly recommend you to patch...
Update November 2024: This upload of the game is officially sanctioned by OldUnreal (who has received permission from Epic Games to link to this page) and the...
But I feel like the world is actively trolling me right now... "Look at all these awesome games now freely available to get. I bet you wish you had a computer to play them, right? Right?" XD!
If you're looking to play online I recommend installing GOTY edition, you would probably have better luck with the steam version of it. Which can be found on certain piracy sites, although it works with the og version of GOTY to my knowledge.
You will also have to download a couple patches to actually get online, although you might have to download additional things if you are going to use the above Internet Archive downloads.
Epic has consistently been outperforming other large storefront/publishers on the PC market, namely Steam and I wish people would see that more often, I am by no way being an apologist of anything bad they have done, which they have, but they certainly get a lot more scorn from brand loyalists than they deserve.
This is great in my opinion, it would be even better if they outright said it's just freeware and let people reverse engineer the games or whatever. I do prefer UT to Quake 3, personally, but that's just because I'm a scrub.
These downloads include the stable branch of the Old Unreal patch. If you're having problems running it on Windows 11 like I did, update to the newer, unstable version.
I'm lucky and got the whole series for like 8 bucks like a month before they took them down. It was too bad too because I wanted to get them for my friend. My friend hates setting up stuff like this but I gotta try to get him to do it because I know he'd mess with these heavy. UT99 has got to be one of the all time greats. Still go back to it often because of how addicting it is and how in your face the atmosphere and world is.
I spent sooooo much time with the UT demo back in the day scrambling for another Enforcer pistol just to go akimbo on the bots. Now I can play the full game!
Oh man, UT. I'm not a huge FPS guy, but UT2004 had so much content and some excellent mods so it's had to not love it. The fact Epic abandoned it outright for the sake of Fortnite made me forever sour, although I can understand it from a profit standpoint.
I miss UT and UT2004 so very much. To me it was the apex of the online FPS era. No Microtransaction BS, no DLC: Just amazing multiplayer with hundreds of usermade maps, music and characters!
Where else could I see Judge Dredd instagib Mr. Burns?
If I were blind, I could still navigate Facing Worlds to this day.

there is an ongoing project bringing back the cancelled Unreal PSX as a fully fledged mod for Unreal with extras
Unfortunately I had to take a backseat at the project due to world-shattering events around me, but JackHonda is continuing it at the moment and if things go alright there will be the full Episode 2 release in the coming month!
Not true. While I never played the actual game, the game was made during the second generation of the Unreal engine, firsst known as the "Unreal Warfare" engine before they started with the modern numbering.
They probably in practice used combination of things because they started on earlier versions of the engine than it was released and just merged the code. However even that earlier version is already the "warfare" version and not really truly "engine 1". While those versions can still be considered "1" on the rendering, otherwise its very far apart from that. Warfare is already when it has terrain and static meshes in practice. Stuff like Mobile Forces is very early warfare, before it had full terrain support and terrain is done using static meshes aka hardware brushes. They didn't want to keep updating the game and kept developing on their own branch. Yea I know there's also backported staticmesh functionality to things like the 227 community patch but that is custom/separate implementation. In case of mobile forces that wasn't really the case at that point though they did start on the UT engine.
Basically anything below 500 is firmly unreal "engine 1", while above 500 is more like "1.5". 500 to 600 is like..I heard the console PS2 UT was on that but I can't verify for sure. Its also what Warfare started on, but its not yet fully a new engine. Since 600 that's when the other features start and it can be called fully the warfare engine, but in modern context its not yet quite engine 2. That only normally starts with the numbers in thousands or at least "900".
Betas and alphas of many of the flagship games are between 600 and 1000 and those are definitely the warfare engine, just the rendering isn't always 100 percent using the "engine 2" methods and reminds more of engine 1.
It gets really messy but postal 2 can't be called engine 1 no matter what given the reports I am reading.

this should be noted too, as I told someone privately:
The era around the warfare engine is messy in general but it was evolution of the original one. As opposed to "Engine 3" which was a clean break more or less.
