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.

Cool - thanks for the site address. This looks like a site I'll be on a lot today. Great, Theme Park's on there, I'm going to start downloading that now. Wow, it's only 4.4MB! Aside from games, ther are also Game Creation Kits, which I'm checking out now. I'm expecting it to be a rather lame construction kit, as it's very difficult to find a good one...and it's only...damn the link is broken. It got a 91% rating as well. Oh well, I'll be content with the classics. I think this site has some emulated games, because some of these I only remember being on the Amiga.
My personal recommendations are Pirates a classic adventure game and On The Ball possibly better than champo (but you need to do some serious updating which is easy to do on the editor)
Post more recommendations of classic games please!

Betrayal at Krondor (massive, and I mean MASSIVE, RPG) is on there. I used to run it on a 486SX 33MHz, and it still runs on my current computer.
If you've ever read Raymond E. Feist, download this game and get to see what Midkemia really looks like.
If you like beardy statto type RPGs this one has it all. (You even have to sharpen your swords using a whet stone which loses durability, it's THAT statty).
