A few days ago, @Bentosmile asked why there was no Pirate Kart for the IGF.

So we made one!

Over a hundred people contributed over three hundred games for inclusion into one big compilation entry!

Unlike the other Pirate Karts, most of these games were not made especially for the Kart, but they are games that otherwise might never have had a chance to have anything to do with the Independent Games Festival! And now they have one!

You can get all 1.4GB of it HERE! (Help seeding the torrent would be greatly appreciated!)

Have fun playing a squillion crazy games!

The torrent file does not have an extension, though adding one does seem to make it functional.

Uh oh. Hmm. It looks like it's working: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/www.piratekart.com

Maybe try http://piratekart.nfshost.com/?

Worst case: here's a link straight to the torrent: http://s3.amazonaws.com/excitemike/2012igfpiratekart/2012+IGF+PIRATE+KART.zip?torrent

Ok, so this only works on Windows then?
IGFLauncher.swf is just black for me, on a mac.

I can play some of the games individually, that are swf files though.

It's the exe that you want, but the swf has to be there. For not-very-good reasons.

It's been updated now! http://www.piratekart.com

If you already have the previous release, you can download just the 104MB patch to 1.1!
The changes in this update include:
* Corrections made to game titles and author names.
* Fixed games that wouldn't launch.
* Games should no longer trigger virus warnings.
* A few games that were received before the deadline were accidentally left out. They are now included.
* Small updates to several games.
(and there's a full list at http://www.piratekart.com/whatchanged.html if you want all the details)
