News Epic Games Is Totally Chill About You Downloading Unreal And Unreal Tournament For Nothing

​

While Epic Games is best known for the free-to-play juggernaut that is Fortnite, it found initial fame with 1998's graphically stunning Unreal, which was followed by online shooter Unreal Tournament a year later.

The disc image files are here and here, but you can use Old Unreal's Windows-based installers for both if you fancy an easier ride (those can be found here and here).

A free-to-play version of the game, entitled Unreal Tournament 3X, was mooted but seems to have been cancelled.
