Does anyone know any really good adventure games? I have found some good ones but is there any others? If you find one, then can you tell what it's about and stuff.

No, making a backup copy of game is illegal unless it is specifically stated in the liscence agreement that you may do so.

No its not. It legal if you own the game. Its only illegal if you dont own the game. When you buy a game if you make a back up of the game and use that then that is allowed. More than one back up of a game is illegal and of course selling the backups are illegal.

If the games are Freeware or shareware then its all above board and is not illegal.

Nah, not roms. Full games, abandonware.

Basically, any game that is so old you'll have a real problem finding it in the shop, and if you do, it will be in a bargain bin. I.E. Elite, The Incredible Machine, stuff like that.

Home of the Underdogs is a good place to start. www.theunderdogs.org, I think is the address.
