No.
A) It's got Starforce copy protection
B) It brings my system to its knees at 1024x768. No game should do that.

Freespace 2 FTW

Is it true that you can legally get Freespace 2 for free as abandonware? If not I'll just see about picking it up cheap, can't imagine it being more than a couple of bucks.

EDIT: It appears you can legally download it for free but the torrent link is dog slow. Does anybody know of another torrent with more seeds than the one listed on the underdogs?
