Any chance of getting Daggerfall released as a freebie, too?

For anyone curious as to how the “bikini armor” worn on the cover is in any way combat-effective, it’s enchanted. Really, really enchanted.

i think they should realease all the old games (or at least arena and daggerfall on the #^) market place for download.

Left by MajorQtip on July 23rd, 2007

No, no chance of Daggerfall being released again…free, as a download, or in any other way.

this might sound a bit creepy but is it just me or does the knight on the left look like todd howard.

Left by MajorQtip on July 26th, 2007

It would be even creepier if you thought the warrior in the front looked like Todd Howard!

Left by Hungry Donner on July 28th, 2007

oh yes! daggerfall as a free game is needed badly!

Left by infanticide on August 1st, 2007

oh no i don’t think it should be free at all, just avalible for people like me and many others who were babies when it came out and want to have the chance to play it whithout having to pay an entire dungens loot to some guy on eBay. Again i think it should be an X box live download or released as an “elder scrolls battle chest” type thing with other games such as redgaurd and battle spire. simalar to how old 80’s arcade games were put on one disk and sold for last-gen consoles, but in no way do i think that it should be free.

anybody heard of an editor for Arena
or a program which can view the images?

Left by HaCkEr on September 4th, 2007

Not a bad idea MajorQtip,
A TES: Classics would be great for about £40 or $80 (if that’s the current exchange rate)

If it featurered
Arena Deluxe Edition
Daggerfall
Redguard
Battlespire
I’m sure all real TES fans would purchase it.

Even more you could release a collector’s edition featuring the codex scientia(correct name?) and other little things like the pocket guide to the empire and maybe some maps, etc.
I’d be willing to pay A LOT! for it.
And better yet you could rerelease the walkthroughs and editors(if that’s possible with a randomized world)

I’m confident that doing this would make Bethesda alot richer, so anyway I firmly second MajorQtip’s comment.

I’m porting a lot of open source games to the linux-based Nokia internet tablets (800×480 screen, wlan, *not* a phone).

It would be a delight to find a way to license Arena from Bethsoft for porting to the tablets.

With a 400mhz OMAP2420 cpu, there’d be no need for extensive optimization, just a framebuffer, file i/o and keyboard/stylus mouse routines.

I’ve ported DosBox to the tablets, unfortunately it can only get about 1FPS with Arena. Let’s make this dream a reality.

Any chance of a Nokia internet tablet version? The dosbox emulated version runs abit too slow.

If source is provided, im sure the community can optimise it to work faster on the tablet.

Left by Torx on February 8th, 2008

I concur. Old games should be cherished and preserved. Releasing source code will certainly make this happen. I also would love to play my old favorites on my Nokia N800 internet tablet. Please consider releasing the source code for the gold old games.

Left by Szymon K on February 8th, 2008

If you don’t release the source code, could you at least make it playable on the N800 and other internet tablets? I loved Morrowind and Oblivion, but I’ve never played Arena or Daggerfall. I’d love to be able to play the older games from anywhere, and with Bethesda’s resources, it shouldn’t be hard or take too long to do.

Left by Hunter on February 8th, 2008

I, too would like to see Arena ported to the Nokia Internet Tablet series. There are fans out there willing to do the work, all that needs to be done on Bethesda’’s part is make it possible. It doesn’t seem fair to cut off so many fans of this free game by not letting them play onn the system they want to.

Left by David on February 9th, 2008

I would Love to see Arena ported to the Nokia Internet Tablet as well, certainly I would purchase it again for that platform as I did with the Kings Quest collection when SCUMMVM was released on the Nokia Tablet. Seems like a not to complicated way to make some money on an existing title to me…

Left by tobiasj on February 12th, 2008

It would be fantastic to see TES:Arena for the Nokia Internet Tablets.
