Where can I get this old game? "A Bridge Too Far"

Hey it's my day off and I'd really love to play A Bridge Too far. I use to play it way back when, I believe it came out in the late 90s?

I found a download on CNET, but then read in the description it's just a 1 mission trial. Is there a particularly good and secure site to download really old games such as this? Also somewhere that doesn't want £35 like the rain forest and that's for the disc not a digital download.

Close combat series? Used to have this, may have it still. I had 2- 5 boxed. (5 being d day again) I know I still have 5 and 3 (russian front) was def sold. Good games but ai was terrible and didn't improve as series went on.

It was Close Combat 2 in particular that I enjoyed played. Can't find a digital download anywhere over the net.

I found a couple of links on Google but I'm not sure of the legality of them so I won't recommend them or anything...

Are you certain they are not download links for the trial version? That version has just 1 trial mission.

You can thank me later

P.s. its going to set you back 29 quid for what is technically a 15yr old game.

I bought this ten years ago from a supermarket for a fiver. Resist the urge, don't give them silly money for it.

I don't reckon you would be able to find it anywhere now though.

Get cc3.

I think I still have them all somewhere.
Should really have another bash at them

The Running Man · 28 May 2013 at 21:45

They are fun but quite slow paced...

And then you run out if shreks and can't kill that last tank while your tank is tracked half a map away..

I used to be well into it and have 3-5 original CD's.

Thanks for the links guys, I'll have a look later to see if I have any luck getting it downloaded. Such a PITA to find these old games again.
