Yeah the Collection Chamber uses the Mega site for downloads, you don't need to install any weird software to your PC. The only catch with Mega is you can only download a certain number of gigabytes per day... Which shouldn't be a problem since most of the installers are small.

My mistake, The Collection Chamber site works too. You just sometimes have to exist and retry downloading some links (bows head in shame). Still, the link I provided is also good. Both are great abandonware sites.

So that Collection Chamber site is a total turd. It tells me I have exceeded my download limit after just a few hundred megabytes and blocks my download.

Get this game from here instead: https://www.abandonware-france.org/ltf_abandon/ltf_jeu.php?id=1787&fic=liens

The site and installer are in french, but text and voices in-game are in english.

To Inteltium: how do you download from that site? It keeps telling me I need to install MEGA. If I need to have a third party app just to download some abandonware games, they can go screw themselves.

Get it while it's available there. Easy installer for modern systems. Check out the rest of that awesome site for other DOS games.

Abandonware again? 21 Oct. 2021
Top comment

The game doesn't appear to be listed on the stores linked as of October 20, 2021. Is abandoned?

I don't get why this game has been delisted on MyAbandonware. You cannot buy it from the store link (I did not find it, even when using the site's search option), nor can you find it on GoG or Steam. I think this game is abandonware once again.

To those looking for the version with VO, this does not have it. The DOS version was text only.

Lucky you that someone uploaded the first demo disc of Computer Game Entertainment Magazine on the internet archive.

https://archive.org/details/Computer_Game_Entertainment_July_1997

that ISO contains the Windows 95 version of Shannara that is fully voiced as well as some random demo's.
