Hardwar ISOs

ISOs are mirror images of the Hardwar CDs available for download. There are two, one ISO for each CD. These must be downloaded and then burned onto two CDs to work. Then you've got your own full set of Hardwar CDs.

You'll need a CD burner and a high speed internet connection to use this option. The two ISO files are over 300MB each. Below are the links to the download page. The files are hosted by MegaUploads.com . Please report any problems with the download to me at CaptainZedo@mail.com . Before writing note that Mega Uploads limits your bandwidth if you aren't a paying customer. The free downloads are slower. I can't help that.

Commerical Versions

Hardwar is a rare find in commercial retailers today. It's an old game (1998). If you find it, however, it's always sold at a discount price. I found my first copy at Babbages for $5.00! You'll fare better trying to find it listed on auction sites like E-Bay.

Currently (December, 2010) Amazon.com has copies for sale here. Please email me if this link is out of service.
