How to get discontinued Matrix games?

[Kuokkanen]

I want to get Starshatter The Gathering Storm. How can I get it? If it matters anything, I have boxed version of the game's older version: Starshatter The Ultimate Space Combat.

Google it.
Some re-seller like Ebay or Amazon may have copies. Or GOG.com.

Some of those games can be hard to come by, some I would like to get my hands on as collection is Warships and Pacific War by Gary. I use to own those, now trying to get them back. They sure bring back some good memories.

Ebay has been my source for getting the old matrix games - i got Starshatter that way and even Titans of Steel (yes i knows its free, but i like the physical copy and its manual) Warship i also got from Ebay

I even got La Grande Armee at Austerlitz and Fortress Europe - on ebay, just to see if they are as unplayable as reportable and yeap they sure are - Fortress Europe could have been good if it had been spent longer on..a looot longer

Be careful with system requirements; an old game normally won't play well in newer computers, unless it had been remastered


I still have somewhere my original copy of "Grim Fandango", but I purchased it again, the remastered version, because the old one was not working OK

I had same problem with Worms Armageddon. Installs just fine on Windows 7, but game doesn't start. Then I bought it from Steam and that works.

most games will work, even on a modern O/S like windows 10, steam is just a front end, so if it works on that model, it's just that steam either loads the pre requisites for the game for you, or installs in with the right and correct settings needed to load and run on auto, if you did the same on manual installation, again it would work
