Yes. On Moddb website. Why would you want the older versions though? You can mule with Single Player chars through TCP/IP.

Some people like playing the old versions for many different reasons.

For example to play a build that no longer exists.

That's exactly what people are looking for in vintage Median versions. Builds like hermanubis reanimator, old plaguedin (3m damage), invincible barb from 2008, or just about any kind of assasin, as that class was incredibly overpowered for almost entire LAZ median era.

I'd say 1.D9 was the most balanced patch to play singleplayer. Other notable examples are 1.99d, 1.F9 and 1.Z9. MXL Ultimative also had few appealing patches, and Median 2017 was the last "classic Median" release where PlugY still worked and the game ran on old pre-sigma core.

Older versions are way more fun depending on the person.

You don't need to bother with TCP/IP for anything that predates Sigma 1.0. Plugy shared stash works on all Median versions except Sigma.

Laz seemed to love Assassins. 1.F9 was my favorite, pouncesin. :hammer:

Not worrying about game engine limits was actually good side of old median. It may have been not the most balanced one to play but there were a lot of fun builds which are dead today. I loved old proc builds and reanimators(reanimators are actually not dead, just slightly harder to make but they can be done)

But sigma in current state is not so bad. It was quiet bad with first release where so many old builds were killed but with new patch more and more things are being rebalance and brought back to living. Since even oskills were reworked I hope same thing will happen with procs soon. In current mod state they are pretty bad
