I played the hunter classic for 2k hours, i love the game. OK, they can shutdown the server but, they could adapt it offline and sell it for 5 -10 Dolls - just rebalance the economy (Gms more easily).helzorro1

The game is a classic just like the name says and with all the time and effort put into it when you do get the big trophy it’s because you worked for it just like IRL hunting. No need to grind for diamonds or great ones. It’s pure joy when you see a rare because it’s exactly that rare! This game should live on even if it’s single player don’t let her die.
my childhood game. Watched hundreads of videos when i didnt have a good pc at the time. Recently i bought a fast computer and started playing it. i now have 288 hours game time
Some dozen years or so ago I first wandered out onto whitehart and heard that sweet music play and the soft breeze through the trees and I just felt at peace. TheHunter Classic was always a safe, calm and tranquil space to escape to; no matter what was happening in the world or my life. I have created memories there with friends and loved ones. I experienced a game that was beyond a game. Wandering for hours across a digital landscape immersed in the atmosphere and sometimes forgetting what I was meant to be hunting let alone forgetting what woes I had in the real world. I downloaded hundreds of screenshots today of trophies and and landscapes and silly hats but also of the character my wife made in the world we played together. I cried when i heard it would all be gone, a real heavy heart sits within me now as i write. A game that many have tried to replicate but none have made something its equal. A true classic that I dont think we would every see something as good again. Its challenge was real, its atmosphere soothing and refreshing. It is without doubt the best game in its genre and should not be lost to a digital grave.

Wenn ein Spiel in dieser Form so viele Jahre existiert und immer noch gespielt wird, dann muss es ein gutes Spiel sein. Es muss dann so gut sein, dass es nicht einfach so enden darf. Durch das Spiel habe ich viele online-Freunde gefunden. Manche von ihnen spielten das Spiel mit 85 Jahren und weilen schon nicht mehr unter uns. Auch ich bin durch dieses Spiel Mitglied vom Forum Huntertalk.de geworden. Eine super Gemeinschaft. Einige gehen immer noch und das schon seit Jahren gemeinsam zur Jagd. Viele spielen die Missionen immer und immer wieder durch. Diese Spielergemeinschaften haben meinen höchsten Respekt. Dieses Spiel darf einfach nicht "sterben". Das ist sicherlich auch im Sinne der bereits verstorbenen Spieler.
The hunter classic, para mi el mejor simulador de caza a dia de hoy , ya tiene muchos años y el apartado grafico es el mas afectado, pero en cuanto a sonido, comportamiento animal,variedad de especies, armas, redclamos, mapeados, comunidad es el mejor y esta claro, tengo muchos recuerdos buenos de este juego a lo largo de los años, es un juego como dice la gente de confort, al que vuelves con el tiempo para relajarte y recordar viejos tiempos, espero que puedan hacer un port del launcher y mantener las cuentas si el juego se mantiene en esta pagina, gracias y buena caza. The Hunter Classic, the best hunting simulator to this day for me, is already many years old and the graphics are the most affected part. However, in terms of sound, animal behavior, variety of species, weapons, callers, maps, and community, it is clearly the best. I have many good memories of this game over the years; it is what people call a 'comfort game', one you return to over time to relax and remember old times. I hope they can make a port of the launcher and keep the accounts if the game stays on this page. Thank you, and good hunting.
I have benn played this game since 2011, and i really have proved anothers hunting simulators and no one like the hunter classic. Some new developers are focused in exploit graphics features but forget the mechanics of the simulator, for example "call of the wild" have a really nice graphics but u don't have to find the animals; the animals take care of finding you, lol.
Awesome hunting game, nothing else comes close. The hunter classic got me through some dark times in my life, don't let this game die forever please. It's the GOAT of hunting sims.
Um jogo de caça que será inabalável. O melhor. The hunter Classic o Simulador de caça Que construiu uma grande comunidade Esse grande jogo não pode morrer assim...
I have played 100+ hunting games from different publishers from all eras of video games. This one mastered game mechanics that were introduced between the era of 2004-2009, it introduced the groundbreaking mechanic of having a handheld GPS for tracking and hearing animal calls, something that later games from other publishers have copied because it was that good. The animals themselves are reminiscent of how the early 2004-2007 Atari Deer Hunter and 2004-2006 Cabela's Big Game Hunter games handled their animal AI, with even more complexity. TheHunter Classic is peak animal simulator with the most realistic mechanics of hunting that were not available at the time, and are still not found in modern hunting games. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous, "see that mountain you can literally go there". Perfect graphics for the era, no overly detailed shaders, the foliage is reminiscent of its predecessors with a semi-low poly look that scratches the mid-to-late-2000s-retro video game itch. Animals are not randomly distributed and are found in their appropriate biomes on maps, you can hike a mountain to find animals not found in the forests like ram and cougars. The dog AI is groundbreaking and so much more solid than any other modern hunting game that exists. The maps available are from around the world and each one is incredibly unique and distinct. It is the perfect hunting simulator that has high rewards for patience. I'm absolutely distraught that it's going to be lost to time, this game is a lot more relaxing than anything out there and has been a comfort game for me and many other for years, and for some almost a decade. I would be more than happy to purchase my hunting gear again if the rights are transferred to GOG. My favorite part of this game is setting up a tripod stand and calling in elk. You can go nuts just shooting everything that walks up to you with a crossbow. I can't hunt irl anymore and this is the closest thing to it... & IT HAS WEREWOLVES!!

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
