I've been looking to get my hands on TrackMania original for a while now. I don't mean TrackMania nations or TrackMania 2 because they are both gross.

I'm talking about this game:

I've been searching for a while and I can't find a place to download this game. The official website has a 'download' button that leads to a 404. Everywhere else I look is just a demo. Where can I buy or download this game?

But it technically has everything you want, all the original Trackmania cars and areas.

Besides that, I don't know where to find an original Trackmania copy. Maybe Filipe knows.

Trackmania has so many different confusing franchises and names I legitimately don't even know what the game I'm looking for is actually called. I'm just going to assume it's TrackMania Original but I've also seen it called a million other things.

For reference, here is a video from the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NRRB_IW-mE

From what I can gauge, Trackmania Original is a free add-on to the actual original, on a wiki it states "Whatever the version of TrackMania Original you have, you can always download and install the lastest one for free." I would assume the one you were trying to download was here, as it leads to a 404 as you stated. I do not believe you can actually download the actual original through normal means, namely because it is not abandonware. I think your best bet is to buy online, however

$40 dollars on Amazon - $4 dollars on Amazon
I don't know which one is which, the difference between the two, or which one is the one you're looking for. I don't know much about the Trackmania series as a whole, but wow did these early ones have odd naming conventions.

Hoped this helped a bit on how you'd take action on getting the game at least.

I still have TMO, maybe I could help you out, also just for a brief explanation.

Trackmania Original is the very first game, it received the name "Original" after a free expansion pack they released to add a few new contents, but it was originally just named Trackmania, that game Stick Man said called Trackmania United Forever is a combination of the Three first TM Games Original, Sunrise and Nations, so you will get 7 environments in one game plus new features, and it's also sold on Steam.
