- Kim_Bruning 3y agoApparantly there was an authorized free remake (!), but the site it was published on is now also down, and the internet archive doesn't seem to have the download link. :( Maybe someone on HN still has the game, or a clue how to get it? https://web.archive.org/web/20120212100603/http://cholo.ovine.net/terminal/cholo-remake.php https://web.archive.org/web/20120212100603/http://cholo.ovin...
