I know that madden 2007 was the last year the game was made for PC. I did a yahoo search for it, and found this site in the results;

1) Since it's no longer in production can it be downloaded for free legally? I'm unsure how that works.

2) Is that a legit website?

3) Will it work on 8.1 OS?

I have no problem buying the game new on ebay or something. But if it's legal/safe to download online why not?

Thanks
 
Where is a good site to download games from?

I haven't gamed on a PC in over 5 years. I plan to buy newer games at local store or e-stores, so that I can get case/instruction manuals/game disks like I did before. For older games that are out of production, which is a good site?

As for Madden 07, They are sold new in original shrink wrap on ebay. As I've said, I have no problem paying for it, but maybe there's a good site to download it. Will older games like 07 madden even work on windows 10 OS (as I bought windows 8.1 a month ago and get free upgrade to 10 OS within a year).

If madden 07 won't work on my new OS and xbox controller for windows, then it will be pointless to buy it on ebay.

Thanks
 


'Free' sources are unlikely to be valid/legal, or malware free. Highly unlikely, no matter if the publisher has gone out of business or not.

Even ebay...unless is it original shrink wrap (and how can you tell?), is a bad place to purchase software.

Buy games? Steam, Origin, GOG.
 


You make a good point, anyone could shrink wrap something now-a-days.

Also, thanks for pointing out the legality stuff, I wasn't sure how that worked. I do like free stuff (AVG, CCleaner, etc.). But again, only if it's legal.

Steam, Origin, and GOG. I've never heard of them, but will go check them out. Which do you like best?

BTW, I'm a former PS guy who got tired of buying a new PS every 2 years (and neglecting my PC in the process). The quality of PS's has dropped, plus they keep coming out with new ones. I couldn't see giving them any more money.

Since my old PC was out of date anyways, I built a new all in one rig with guidance on here. The last game I played on PC was Battlefield Vietnam, so I'm new to the world of PC gaming again. Therefore, I appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks
