This is a great full 3D tower defense game. Also this release by THETA requires no steam unlike other releases of this title. ENJOY!






 Muscarv2 at 2009-02-09 16:17 CET:


Good torrent, fast download.



But there are some problems: 3 .dll files are missing. easy to download from google. And there is no sound, is there a way to fix this?






 Ronux at 2009-02-11 03:30 CET:


Odd I have used this copy on multiple computers (XP, Vista 64, and Win7) and I didnt run into any .dll problems or sound problems.






 wrinklymuphin at 2009-02-12 21:21 CET:


Theres no sound, can someone help?

 andrija11 at 2009-02-15 13:13 CET:


is this full game ?






 andrija11 at 2009-02-15 14:41 CET:


everything is ok, thx! will seed



ps:

don't use lame ass anti-viruses






 joyern at 2009-03-08 11:26 CET:


Doesnt work on my computer, comes up a command promt windows with this message "program to big to fit in memory"






 nikrusty at 2009-03-16 08:09 CET:


Finally without Steam nonsense, will give this a try!






 nikrusty at 2009-03-21 21:55 CET:


hey it doesnt work...I double-click the exe and a command prompt box comes up and then nothing in Vista 32bit? I run as admin still nothing?? I also have WinXP SP2 and the same thing happens. Will redownload it and see. Wierd.






 maitrecarrefour at 2009-03-27 10:49 CET:


andrija11: don't bullshit, it's a trojan ->Packed.Win32.Tdss.c (Kaspersky), Win32/Exnuth.A (Microsoft) etc. in data0068.dgp file. creates %Temp%\bm_v.exe and %Temp%\ma_v.exe and runs them. and another thing, folks; if you ever get "double-click the exe and a command prompt box comes up and then nothing", then you can be 150% it's a virus...






 GenL at 2009-03-27 19:21 CET:


This file is equal to original release, i checked. So there are no trojans here, as said in nfo. And there are no data0068.dgp file here...






 gmiff at 2009-04-02 04:28 CET:


please seed






 gmiff at 2009-04-02 05:17 CET:


oh and maitrecarrefour that might be true but that hasnt happened to everyone who has downloaded this game so it probably is a clean file








 nikrusty at 2009-04-02 13:01 CET:


alrite the torrent works!! It didnt b4 becoz my anti-virus didnt allow it to launch thinking there's a virus. I disabled anti-virus (while downloading this file too) installed it and then re-enabled it, the game works fine. For some reason the installer used by THETA is flagged as a virus. But it's ok as I've scanned my system after it and no probs.






 andrija11 at 2009-04-03 14:17 CET:


I have legal Kaspersky copy updated to date, no virus found.



Hell, I don't care, don't download if you don't want to.






 maitrecarrefour at 2009-04-04 13:31 CET:


Mhmm, updated Kaspersky (tech-preview for win7), shows archive clean; monitored setup process with procmon, also no suspicious actions found. My apologies but sometimes I get overly paranoid. Excellent game!






 AAAAYES at 2009-04-05 19:52 CET:


I was 100% taken by surprise...



I just downloaded the demo, and once I got the understanding of what this game is all about...what are the chances that someone actually has the full game out here?  BAM...here you are...



I assure you all, this is not the demo...and this is not a bad activity for a not-so-serious game...but, very addictive.



Ron...You have done real good in my book...for those who are having problems, I am sorry...not a single glitch...they created a simple but, good game here...



Quad 6600 - XP - 4g ram - GTS8800 - 226 Samsung...



Thanks again Ron...A toast to the host...

For bringing this game for many to enjoy...cheers!










 skullNbones at 2009-04-08 18:22 CET:


Thanks for the up, Ronux.



For those with no sound, disable Unimodem Half-Duplex Audio Device (or similar) from Control Panel -> System: Hardware tab -> Device Manager: Sound, video and game controllers.



This solved the problem for me. I hope it works for you 'coz it's an amazing game.






 cncmasterw at 2009-04-10 04:17 CET:


Yo dude THANKS A BUNCH !!! im almost done with the game after 2 hours lOL i love the fast forward (F) button saves me Hours of Waiting lol im gunna be seeding for a few days If that helps all of ya out XD






 mvyrmnd at 2009-04-12 02:43 CET:


I had the dll errors too. Turns out Direct X wasn't properly installed. Installed the latest runtime from MS, all works perfectly.






 sarcinelli at 2009-05-07 04:48 CET:


this game is only $5,00 on STEAM...just buy it






 loftie87 at 2009-05-08 14:26 CET:


Thanks for the up!



sarcinelli:



You came all the way onto TPB, searched for this game just to tell us it's $5 on steam... get a life






 zybch at 2009-05-09 14:18 CET:


I bought this game via steam a few days ago and loved it.  Hey I'm happy to throw some $ at developers for good games like this.  However I'll be keeping this non-steam copy for friends and people that just want a good solid game thats fun to play.

But its only $5 so go buy it, if only to keep the team behind it writing new stuff.






 Bizmark at 2009-05-29 22:14 CET:


Got the latest Update from Nod32 and it said that uninstall.exe is = Probably a variant of Win32/Agent trojan

Version of nod32 = 4116 (20090529)








 darkbrad at 2009-07-21 01:42 CET:


Confirmed that the uninstaller.exe has a virus.. Mcafee picked it up too.






 fwsGonzo at 2009-08-02 19:55 CET:


i bought the game on steam :) 

but i need this version for my laptop which is at our summerplace

no intention of paying twice for a game though, ever

but like its been previously said, its cheap on steam and worth it






 elmacoz at 2009-08-03 01:34 CET:


If u cant get sounds working u need to install DirectX






 christicaso at 2009-08-17 23:18 CET:


***WARNING***

I just made this account on TPB to warn anyone who is going to download this file, the game works perfectly but a virus is installed with the uninstall.exe file. Most antivirus will pick it up and fix it but it's up to you if you want to run the risk.

Peace






 longlouie at 2009-09-01 00:56 CET:


downloaded and installed but dll file missing so no good






 FEAR.ME at 2009-10-02 21:59 CET:


I keep getting a dos prompt Program too big to fit in memory... Im running vista dono if that means anything. I've Downloaded it twice same result both times.






 FEAR.ME at 2009-10-02 22:00 CET:


Get the error when installing it.






 cupirate at 2009-10-03 18:16 CET:


Works. Anti-virus disinfected the uninstall program successfully. Make sure DirectX is installed.



Deceptively easy at first. Good sound effects.



Love the Meteors ! Cannons are best though.






 Tsarli at 2009-11-09 07:28 CET:


Aside from the missing dlls (X3DAudio1_4.dll & xinput1_3.dll), this works perfectly. For those with no-audio problems, install Direct X.



I'm using Avast and so far it hasn't detected any virus or Trojan






 uvamosk at 2009-12-23 16:24 CET:


theta becomes more and more dirty...






 suxx.x at 2009-12-24 12:22 CET:


NOD32: v. 3.0.684.0, Virus Database 4713 (20091223). Says: VIRUS Win32/Trojan in uninstall.exe.



And i cant run the game.... i need steam_api.dll.......






 siorai at 2010-01-21 19:49 CET:


I normally dont comment either, but Virustotal ( http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/6ee978b74c065e2c3a01b972d9454708ce607d63c1fb246b20d31c67b3bdeeb8-1264026249 ), shows a bit of infection as well.



Bad form Ronux. 



Bad form.






 edyuss at 2010-03-17 15:28 CET:


how can see you ratio on this site






 GenL at 2010-03-19 02:22 CET:


There are no viruses in Uninstall.exe. Use CWSandbox or Filemon/Regmon to analyze it.

Blame your AV.






 necronwn at 2010-06-20 11:53 CET:


My virus scanner stopped something called infostealer.gampass and then the whole installation failed.

 snapoo at 2010-07-24 22:23 CET:


anyone know where can I find the Resurgence / Gold expansion packs? Thanks!






 godoffire2004 at 2010-11-09 09:25 CET:


Norton Security Suite 2010 found a virus:

Infostealer.gamepass



Not sure if the virus is for real or not, but I'm not taking my chances.



I cannot say whether or not the game works because I did not continue with the installation after that. 

Here's some more information about the possible virus: http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2006-111201-3853-99






 thcfreak666 at 2011-03-31 16:09 CET:


Virus in Install.exe and uninstall.exe don´t download Crap !!






 flatusgass at 2011-04-05 07:01 CET:


theta sucks.






 flatusgass at 2011-04-05 07:38 CET:


And in addition to the very harmful trojan mentioned by the previous posters, we are subjected to all of this annoying text in the description? Fools.






 Ludio at 2011-05-28 09:52 CET:


works fine on win 7. ran install file as admin and scanned with avg no virus found. sound works. no files missing. good upload.






 Ludio at 2011-05-28 10:01 CET:


uninstall.exe has a diff date modified than the rest of the files so if you want to remove this than i'd recommend not using that file to do so.






 gaurav.tr at 2011-07-08 23:49 CET:

 fatherded at 2011-11-11 05:16 CET:


i downloaded this and a huge list of .dgp files, the .exe file and and uninstall.exe file turned up in the destination folder along with a shortcut on my desktop. it looked nothing like the contents of any game i ever installed so i shat myself and deleted everything. hope no bugs got in but i also hope i haven't missed out on an awesome game. ah well better safe than sorry. please comment if you have any advice for me






 ihackett at 2011-12-18 19:26 CET:


Virus Confirmed using Norton Security in Uninstall.exe. DO NOT download






 Nazher at 2012-01-14 13:47 CET:


If you people don't know what you are doing then DON'T.



I mean, if you can't handle a tiny false-positive warning (or freak out when you do get a virus.)

Then maybe you are way off by being here and should go and BUY the game instead.



@ihackett

Fun fact: Norton Security claimed that my World of Warcraft Launcher was a virus while i was installing (digitally), i wouldn't trust Norton 110% with their reports when it comes to cracked games.






 ttrash100 at 2012-03-11 13:32 CET:


Mister IDunnoAnythin

before you blame someone about postin' a virus



HAVE THE MINIMUM DECENCY



and upload virus at virustotal.com



then post link here

then we gonna see for ourselfs ...



antivirus producers have direct INTEREST in reporting certain programs to be "dangerous" ... dangerous for them, NOT US






 NowImBig at 2012-05-20 02:35 CET:


Pretty decent download speed I hope it works :)






 badhamster555 at 2012-07-13 19:27 CET:


Definitely infected, some kind of malware packer, I installed it, no working(missing some directXfile, but i have installed last directX from offline installer and other games are OK), on uninstall is Pc infected.

Burn in hell after you die from indigence.






 riguez98 at 2012-08-17 00:09 CET:


Hey folks. What the f*** is the message (this application has failed to start because x3daudio1_4.dll was not found...) all about? It's cabbaging my head. Any help will make me stop kicking the shit out of my tiger.
