remember a classic game that you no longer have....want it back?
Well i was searching the net a few months ago and found a load of "abandonware" games. These are games which have ben out of production for more than 3 or 5 years and can therefore be download. This provides loads of old classic games which you can no longer buy and i am reliably informed that downloading them is legal although posting them is currently legal but being reviewed.
Either search for them under abandonware on a search engine or the best one i found was www.theunderdogs.org/ which is definitely worth a look. They have thousands of classic games in alphabetical order and classic games which you thought lost can be recovered.

i thought abandonware meant the game could never be completed....
no its games which have not been on general release for a while and some dodgy copyright law kicks in to allow nonprofit making use.
Has it got Paperboy?
I tink so just go and have a look its pretty easy to find things there
downloaded some more quality old games
Ive been collecting abandonware for years now but more and more come on all the time i downloaded DOOM 2 just a few weeks ago.
Now that was a classic game especially running it on the DOOM 95 mod which gives you better graphics and a windows based GUI (Just slightly mind you)
That sites a good one, good find :-)

There do seem to be alot of retro games available online, although i'm really not sure it's legal. But, apparently, according to a friend of a friend, if you were to own a dreamcast, you can download and burn cdi emulators for the SNES, Megadrive, NES, Master System, Game Boy, C64, Spectrum, Colecovision and all the games for those systems for free. If this is legal, i highly recommend everyone buys a dreamcast while they're still around, simply because it enables a glorious retrospective of 20 years of gaming genius... on your dreamcast, slouched in the sofa in a reminiscent haze of nostalgia.
If it's not legal, i suggest you don't do it. The gaming industry deserves what it is owed.

the posting of abandonware is legal. the posting of emulators for downloading is not.
