What is the difference between a game rip and an ISO?
Could downloading a compressed version of all the files off the game's CD be classed as a rip?
I don't have much knowledge in the field of game piracy.

Well, a game rip is just the game, but it's missing some of its features. Like for the GTA3 rip, it's missing the radio stations.

I don't know about the compressed version being a rip. The release group MYTH generally does rips for many games but they once released Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 as a full version.

i think the actual meaning of 'rip' got lost in internetworld somewhere

it could mean

- taken from the CD and put on the hard-drive
- or -
- a game with the less important parts taken out (ie. ripped out)

Grand Prix 4 and C&C Generals are two excellent ones I've come across - only problem with rips is the lack of patching ability which is a major pisser for impatient gits like me who can't find the time on their 512k net connections to download bins :D
