"Apokalypse - Long lost wargame made freeware" Topic

I made a thread over at the postapoca section earlier, that told the story in better detail:

But I thought I'd share this with the general audience as well?

Apokalypse, released in 1996, was a squad-based army wargame with high production values, a detailed and, dare I say, somewhat complex (compared to the current standard?) ruleset. It was quite different from everything else available at the time and features a grim, far from family-friendly, setting. And it's also virtually unknown, being the product of a short-lived indie operation in the 90's…

The developers, long since retired from the hobby, have given me the blessing to share this PDF I've created so I hope you'll enjoy reading and, even better, play Apokalypse!

Thank you for your time

Whatever site this is it's not compatible with my mac, and wants me to install 3rd party (non app store) applications of get it to download.

Gonna have to pass

"Download through your browser" option. I've actually never heard of anyone having problems with MEGA before?

This is another download source though:

This is very intriguing. Thanks for all your hard work bringing this to the web.

Oh, no problem! :) I'm happy a couple of other nerds are enjoying it. I just wanted the game not to go unremembered into oblivion. And tbh I kinda felt a little like dork-Indiana Jones or something, while tracking the book down and waiting for mail from Malin! :D

Btw, if anyone's interested in where to get minis fitting for Apokalypse I threw together a little list:

Gee-dubs
You can actually find a few minis from GW that will work well for Apokalypse, as long as they're not "heroic size'd". Especially older models, like Necromunda, but some IG lines should work too.
Infinity
Has honest-to-god Landmates! Robots, power armor and a bunch of other fitting stuff as well, even though their models are a little on the high-tech side rather than the postapocalyptic.

Various postapoca dudes

Both the Urban War and Kryomek line work very well. The devs used a lot of Kryomek when Fantasy Forge went bust, mid-'90s. Robots were made from converted Talos units, for example. You might find minis from their other game lines too?

Various military/ganger minis.

Scifi military and powerarmors

Good selection of military/armed minis. The plastic space rangers were what I used for Ramrod armors, ages ago, even though their weapons were a little too scifi…

Scifi, postapoca and ganger minis

Has some decent minis. You can find cheap-ish Landmates under the "Aurora" line (the CLAWS models).

Alt-necromunda, there should be a few usable minis.
brother-vinni.com/shop.htm#!/28-mm/c/5901131/offset=0&sort=normal
Has a few fitting scifi/postapoca minis.
spectreminiatures.com
Lots of contemporary military and militia models that will go well with Apoka.

The only real absence in terms of minis would be Panteras (glhf finding something similar ;) I'm really curious how the devs made theirs…) and maybe Hellraiser Speed Armor, though the latter can be proxied with whatever scifi ninjas you have?
