Electronic Arts now offers the original 1993
Syndicate as a free download
as the latest addition to their
On the
House program (thanks Burrito of Peace). This works though their
Origin service, but once claimed, the game
is yours to keep. Here's part of the description from their
game page with a reminder of what this is about:
Syndicate is
Bullfrog's masterpiece of a game in which you aren't saving the world or
protecting innocents. You just make sure that your employers get what they want.
At your disposal are four cyborg agents, an impressive arsenal of weapons and
gadgets, and a massive selection of cybernetic upgrades. You are free to unleash
this power on a highly interactive map where you can blow up buildings, steal
cars, light trees on fire, or just shoot stuff. Produced by Peter Molyneux
himself, Syndicate is the essence of cyberpunk and, with its great music,
stylized visuals, and mind-blowing atmosphere, it has earned its place among the
best games of all time. Make sure to check out the game that secured Bullfrog's
place in game development hall of fame.
