Where can we get the first DIDnapper?

Didnapper 1 is free and you can download here:

In fact, I'm replaying it right now. It's also great and I cannot say which one I like better. They are different. D2 has by far the better escape and combat system, D1 has by far more details, feels more fleshed out, missions can be approached in different ways and things play out differently (while D2 feels completely straight forward (think of the "not-Romeo and Juliet"-sidequest in D2 and multiply by 50 to get the idea how D1 feels)). D1 also has the great private cell interrogation system where you can toy around with defeated bosses and even your team members to make them learn passive skills like Greater Masochism. It even has seasonal easter eggs like April Fool Events and a Christmas Tree in your base and a much greater love for small details than D2 which sometimes feels a little plain in comparison. Also well worth playing. But you need a VM with a minimal windows install if you want to play on Linux.

I'd appreciate if the devs could upload it to itch.io and maybe link to it so people can appreciate/access it easier.

I don't know if that's possible because unlike Didnapper2 it's not a stand-alone-game. You'll also have to install 3rd party software to play it (some kind of rpg-maker libraries pack).

That's not a huge deal for many people.

Right now it's a bit of a problem (limited storage), but it won't always be.

@DIDGames, could you upload DIDnapper here? If that's not an option, at least include the link @frisil provided (or an(y) legit\official download link(s)) in DIDnapper 2's page — with the information it's the first DIDnapper and any info on additional software\files that may be needed… As it's very likely this comment thread will get buried sooner or later.

One more thing: D1 is the true DIDnapper game. D2 is more about a classic hero voyage and borrows gameplay mechanics from D1 but there is no real reason why it's called DIDnapper. In D1 you work for a kidnapper guild and go on missions for them to abduct people. You can also go hunting on your own, abduct random girls in forests and earn money by collecting ransom. You have a guild hideout that feels like a homebase. It also has a hero story (main character is a princess who was betrayed and abducted on her way to her coronation but joined the guild of her captors to use their resources to get her throne back instead of being locked away forever) but basically you are part of one these bandit gangs you fight in D2.

Not quite correct. You are part of this bandit gang, you met, aber don't fight again ;)

But Neverheless, I miss these private cells. I dont't want just capture the enemies, I want to toy around with them too!

Okay, I wasn't precise, what I meant was: You are part of a bandit gang LIKE those you fight in D2, not specifically one of them.

BTW, are you on a German writer's forum? I think I saw the same user name there and writing "aber" (indicating you could be German) made me wonder.
