Purge (key)

[explosivepotato]

So it's been a while.

Almost ten years, I think.

A lot of my childhood was spent playing Purge, and I was waxing nostalgic and am trying to get a few friends together and play it again over LAN. I was wondering if anyone still had the keygen, as if I recall correctly, it was distributed through the purge14 forums, which are now defunct.

Thanks.

I have no clue where you could get a key for Purge.... We only deal with the FVF Quake mod here (which only has a Purge Mode).

And even the Quake server has been down lately.... Wonder what's up with Foq (the server host).



Heh, I asked Hap (creator of Purge) about it, and even he doesn't know where you could get a key anymore....

Ah, shame.

Thanks for the help.

Hap was moved by your nostalgia, and he searched through his backups and found a keygen program....

But he said he doesn't even remember writing it, and it may not work, and he doesn't remember how to make it work, and it may crash your computer, so use it at your own risk and do not ever, ever distribute it to anyone else, ever.

I'll send you a PM with a link!

Oh my lord.

This is exactly the program I remember being distributed on the forums.

Thank you and Hap so much for this, it means a lot.

The key generator use some inline Assembly to generate the key. It makes it a more complex algo. As far as I know, until I put it out, no hacking group ever reverse-engineered the keygen. But that Assembly probably triggers the malware detector.
