New images and videos for our old games

Hello! I’m currently doing some work on the screenshots for the games on this website.  A lot of them were taken years ago and are teeny-weeny (eww, see Coolspot.)   I can take much bigger screenshots, more of them, and just better quality really (well as quality as the game was, right?) It’s time to go back and look at ones I took before I used DOSBox and get them up to scratch! We...

Site maintenance

Nope, haven’t been playing any games or anything.  Well I have, but they have been on my Nintendo DSi! I’ve been doing some site maintenance tonight.  Making sure everything is running smoothly behind the scenes, and that the Google stuff is all ticking along nicely. I really should play some games. Anyone want to recommend any that should be added to the site? M xx

Old gaming FTW

Hey hey, Y’know, I still don’t have a PC that can handle playing games like Left 4 Dead, Half Life 2 or any new and exciting games. Not that Half Life is actually that new! That’s why I thank God for Abandonware, and also awesome games which you can still buy like Warcraft II. You’d be interested to know that even if you don’t own a legit copy (and I own two for...

Home of the Underdogs back from the dead!

It’s a fine day when the mega-site of abandonware comes back from the dead. Welcome back Home of the Underdogs! Hopefully it’ll keep updated. Well, more updated than this bloody site has been lately eh? Not hard really. Sorry about that folks. If only I could quit my job and just update my site all day and play games. Alas, that will never happen…

R.I.P Home of the Underdogs :’(

If you know anything about old games, retro-gaming, abandonware or anything cool, then you know about Home of the Underdogs. You don’t know about HOTU? STOP reading and leave. I remember when there were many abandonware websites. Back in the days of Flashback, Conservatory etc. Then maybe we grow up and grow away from these things. Everyone runs off and gets a job or gets married The rest...

Wizard Wars – the game which time (and I) forgot…

Y’know, I’m not quite sure how it ended up a private page, but I added this game a few years ago! Check out Wizard Wars, it is an addictive game with annoying sound – just what you come to love and expect from older games!

Marching on…

It’s hard to believe that it’s already the end of March 2008. Time really does fly when you’re having fun (and being a mum, and being a manager, and being a student, and being a webmaster…). But, I do live for abandonware! -_-; And I’m loving the progress of this site. I am really happy, and I guess.. encouraged to see the new sites which are still being built to support...

Abandonware Torrents!

So DarKsiDe (yes, from Abandon5000) has started an Abandonware Torrents site. I think this is a just awesome idea. The site is at http://www.awtorrent.net/. I wrote a bit about it over on my blog at www.weetbix.net, and DarKsiDe was nice enough to stop by and provide more information about what’s happening with the site and where it’ll be heading. So defintely go over and have a read...

Introducing Hexie to you

Hey everybody, I welcome you to me on this website. I can now write complete reviews too of games, so you will see some of my writings soon. The first review is already there and thats the review of Lotus – The Ultimate Challenge For PC. Lets talk about my history. I had my first internet connection established in 1996, when we were still using 115k2 serial cable modems overhere in The Netherlands....
