Some of them that come to mind for me are:
-
FitGirl’s Escape from Tarkov repack that featured a single player mod
-
FitGirl’s Half Life Alyx repack that with the NoVR mod
-
Gnarly’s Tale of Two Wastelands repack that had everything ready to go after the install. No need to install both Fallout 3 & New Vegas and wait hours for things to compile
For me it was downloading Quarantine that i originally had in 1994 on 3DO. Not the game so much, just that i totally forgot copy protection was done via physical codes back then.
here’s how it looked, for example the game would give you a Weight and MPH value and you’d have to supply the 3 digit number that corresponds

"This a scan of the “Red Card”, a copy protection scheme for Quarantine. This was black text on a deep red background that was hard to copy by black and white copiers of the era. Color copiers, which cost about a dollar a page had to be used. "
The copy protection for Quarantine was particularly interesting because it was thematic. Given the weight of a pedestrian and the speed of your car, how far will the body fly?
about 3 fiddy. actually i have no idea don’t tell anybody though thanks
