SiN Computer Game

SiN was one of my favourite games when I was younger and clearly showed improvements on the Quake 2 engine from which it was based. Unfortunately at the time of release Half Life was also released as a result SiN was thrown into shadow.

In my oppinion SiN was a better game, I wasted many hours playing the game online and sniping from the crane.

SiN seems to have almost died on the internet, finding the source code for the game proved a difficult thing. Therefore I have hosted it here for any other fans who fancy a look through the source code. It makes a fairly interesting read.

Download SiN Source Code (~500k)

The download file was originally sin110source.exe but has been repacked. No one wants a self decompressing file, it is now a .zip not a .exe.

A friend of mine got me playing UFO: Enemy Unknown again the other day, I can’t say the idea thrilled me but I thought I would give it a go none the less. I have to say I had completely forgotten how great old games were to play. Yes yes yes the graphics were not so hot, but the gameplay was totally amazing. Something that has been long forgotten about recently.

This got me thinking, I own all the Space Quests and Police Quest games (they are in a box in the loft) and I remember wasting my childhood playing them. I thought how amazing would it be to play these games again?

Considering I legally own these games, I set about googling a place to download them. So very easy, a simple google search for:

• “sq1.zip“
• “sq2.zip“
• “pq1.zip“
• “policequest2.zip“
• I think you get the idea.

A few minutes later I had my complete collection. Knowing these games would no longer work on the bloated operating systems of modern day I set about downloading DosBox.

DosBox is a dos emulation utility, it is open source and as such free. Plays all the games perfectly, here are a few screenshots.

I have to admit I am hooked playing space quest, dreamweb and UFO: Enemy Unknown.

I’ll be your dog!
