I need some help finding some old games for the PC (and i have tried looking in here) Any help would be much appreciated.

Sonic games for PC:
Any games with Sonic the Hedgehog in for the PC. I know they did some but i don't know what ones they did and where i can get them from.

SimTower:
I know they did this for the Macintosh but did they do a PC version, and where could i get it from?
(I also heard they were going to do Simtower 2, is this true or did i just make it up?)

Marathon:
A set of three games that where also on the Macintosh but i'm positive they did a PC conversion for them.

That's it. As i've said before any help would be nice. Thanks.

Sonic games did come out on PC. I have played shareware versions of Sonic 1 and Sonic and Knuckles but my PC was too good for them so there wasn't any sound and the game ran too fast!

They are only illegal if you get a crack for one.

Yeah, that's about right! I did say they where old games!
I heard that they were making a second one but i haven't heard about it so i'm now looking for the first one.

I didn't realise that Emulators where a "bit dodgy" I was recommended a emulator program when i wrote to a Macintosh based company asking if they released their games on the PC. They pointed me in the direction of a emulator site and said download this one. The only problem was the Emulator was about £70 and i'm not that desperate to play Mac games on the PC. I'm sure they did Sonic CD and Sonic and Knuckles (Sonic 3) on PC.

I'll have a look at that Amazon site for SimTower.

If anybody else knows where i can get these (very) old games then please tell me. Thanks

These games are all pretty old... so you may have a little trouble picking them up...

Funny you mentioned the Sonic games, what I suggest you do is get an Emulator, its a program where it is a console on your PC, if you need an adress for a website I'll send it to you.

P.S: These things are illegal.

For SimTower, look in amazon.co.uk as they have a special Sim section with all the games i think. Also just look around some American sites - the game is v. popular over there.
