Few games I want to download, older ones that are not on steam. What are the other legal options.

 

[nseaton1]

Direct2drive is another big one, my memory fails me for more.

A list of the games would probably help.

How old are they?

You can always see if someone is selling them on Ebay. That's how I got Stalker SOC

Amazon also works well for buying old games. Steam is not your only option.

Why? Is there no other decent platform to try at all?

Because their will be no "one-stop shop" most likely, different sources are going to be needed. So you might as well post which games you need so that people can help track them all down.

Here is one to look at that may have a couple you need....totally DRM free as well http://www.gog.com/en/frontpage/

Ok thanks guys. If anyone sees final fantasy 7or8 for download that would be good, or the old resi evil games.
Found another side, looks bare enough, but prices seem ok(in comparison to steam at least)

Living in Ireland, yeah steam prices blow compared to retail. Game/Gamestop, even bloody HMV are all at least half the price of Steam with new releases.

D2D isn't fail, in my opinion. It's part of IGN, so that pretty much guarantees it won't go under. You get unlimited downloads, and they have good prices. Got WiC Gold for $5.

Still, I like Steam the most.

Best place for older games would be Amazon, eBay, Impulse, or D2D.
