  1. I used to play a lot of Alien vs. Predator 2 back in the day. In my opinion, one of the greatest first person shooters ever made.

    It's also that introduced me to modding, as it featured a complete 3D level editor.

    It ran on Lithtech Talon engine, a modified version from the one used for games as Tron and No One Lives Forever and others.

    The game is now abandonware, since the studio was bought by Warner but the franchise fell in Disney hands.

  2. "Zeliard is a fantasy platformer/RPG hybrid that has all the trappings of a classic quest: a brave knight, an evil demon, a princess in distress, and an unreasonable number of bats." #abandonware #retrogaming #jrpg abandonwaredos.com/abandonware

  3. "Leisure Suit Larry: In the Land of the Lounge Lizards remake takes the already questionable charm of the original and polishes it just enough to make you forget you’re essentially guiding a walking HR violation through a maze of bad decisions." #abandonware #LeisureSuitLarry #retrogaming abandonwaredos.com/abandonware

  7. "This 1991 follow-up doesn’t reinvent the formula so much as gleefully multiply it: more levels, more traps, more tiny green-haired creatures marching toward doom with unwavering confidence." #abandonware #retrogaming #lemmings abandonwaredos.com/abandonware

  11. @tankgrrl @petko except three issues:

    1. One would still have to obtain an out-of-print disc and get it imported.
    2. That still doesn't fix the fact that it's not legal even if one owns the disc (at least in any juristiction that cares)
    3. If one has to pirate anyway, one may just torrent it anyway.

    Granted, I don't shed a tear for companies that don't even want to sell me a legal copy.

    It's just bad cuz I'd rather pay for a legit copy.

  12. "Imagine Cheers met Quantum Leap and got weirdly philosophical. That’s Callahan’s Crosstime Saloon, a narrative adventure based on Spider Robinson’s sci-fi stories." #retrogaming #abandonware abandonwaredos.com/abandonware

  13. "This version of Civilization brought networked multiplayer gameplay to the series for the first time, alongside updated graphics and improved interface elements." #abandonware #civilization #retrogaming

  14. "Based on the movie of the same name, it’s an attempt to capture the adrenaline of NASCAR on a PC that barely knew what 3D was." #abandonware #retrogaming abandonwaredos.com/abandonware

  15. The adventure elements are solid, the atmosphere thick, and the combat clunky in a very 1991 way. It’s not always logical, and it’s rarely gentle, but it has personality to spare. You don’t just play this game—you endure it, laugh at it, and eventually respect it. #abandonware #retrogaming abandonwaredos.com/abandonware

  16. "Based on Terry Pratchett’s beloved universe, the game stars Rincewind the wizard, voiced by Eric Idle, as he bumbles through a convoluted plot involving dragons and incompetent wizards." #abandonware #retrogaming abandonwaredos.com/abandonware

  17. ¡Os traigo una pequeña joya! ❤️

    Llevaba tiempo detrás de este juego, porque lo jugábamos mi hermano y yo de pequeños.

    En Internet apenas hay referencias o información sobre él.

    Lo comenté con mi padre (que fue quién lo consiguió originalmente) y él lo encontró por Internet y me lo ha regalado.

  19. "The Citadel feels like a thoughtful conversation with the original game rather than a loud sequel. It respects what came before while acknowledging that players, and expectations, had changed." #abandonware #retrogaming abandonwaredos.com/abandonware

  20. @btp My preferred method right now is to purchase DRM-free copies of what I want.
    and ( ) are my friends when it comes to this.

    That, and my approach to dealing with ... which is to just copy it. Since copying abandonware neither causes financial loss nor causes property loss to the IP owner, it is not theft, I would argue.

  21. It’s like Myst had a baby with Twin Peaks after bingeing Infocom manuals. A cult classic—or possibly a cult recruitment video. Either way, you won’t forget it. Whether that’s a blessing or a curse is up to you. #abandonware #zork #retrogaming abandonwaredos.com/abandonware

  25. "In SimAnt, you play as the black ant colony in a backyard and household environment, competing against the red ants, environmental hazards, and even human interference." #abandonware #retrogaming abandonwaredos.com/abandonware

  26. "While the graphics might now look like something from a tech-savvy flip phone, the charm lies in watching your tiny airport grow into a bustling hub of chaotic efficiency." #abandonware #retrogaming abandonwaredos.com/abandonware

  27. "This is a strategy game for players who enjoy planning more than conquering, where the real enemy is inefficiency. There’s something deeply satisfying about turning a patch of wilderness into a thriving kingdom, one pig farm and sawmill at a time." #abandonware #retrogaming abandonwaredos.com/abandonware

  28. HIce una reseña hace mogollón de tiempo en Steam donde recomendaba un juego llamado Grouch.

    Pedía que si alguien sabía si habían archivado un juego de abandonware en algún sitio. Me ha contestado un jodido héroe.

  32. Ich würde es richtig hart feiern, wenn man endlich ein Spiel wie #StarTrekLegacy wieder kaufen könnte. Ich habe zwar die Originaldisk für die #Xbox 360, welche aber nicht kompatibel zur Xbox One / Series ist.
