    Downloads for both 'vigilante 8' and 'vigilante 8 2nd offence' work. As you are a new user you may have insufficient points to download some games.

    EDIT: remove ilivid, it has nothing to do with our site and is probably malware sneaked in by a malicious advert. Clicking the download link should start the file download, there should not be any copying and pasting involved at all.

    Oh. Now it all makes sense. The amount you have to pay is with the romu points. So just wait a day or two

    Our site uses a point system to regulate usage and prevent people from downloading so much they cause problems for other users. As a new user you are given 500 points to start with, and accumulate 50 points each day. Files over a certain size (50MB) deduct points from your balance, at a rate of 1 point per MB of filesize. If you do not have sufficient points to download a file you will not be able to start the download.

    It is possible to buy points for $5 (will give you 15,000 points) or premium membership for $15 every 2 months (this makes points irrelevant and also removes ads)

    Hi,

    Can you please tell me if you are using Chrome browser? It might be hiding the error message.

    alright thanks alot people, plus even when i try to download a game i always end up back on that livid website and they give me 15seconds to decide to accept the download or it will just download itself, so if i purchased 15,000 points i'd be able to download any game of my choice?

    Any game that is downloadable, yes. certain games such as NDS have been removed for legal reasons, this is clearly stated in the game list and on the game details page.

    What! I though it was developed by Romulation(since it was right in the front page)...argh nevermind...good thing I deleted it. iLivid has to be the worst downloader ever
