Types of abandonwareīeing a broad term, abandonware encompasses several types of old software which may include: Software may also be considered abandoned when it can only be used with obsolete technologies such as pre-macintosh computers. The product is thus no longer marketed or distributed by the owner, but can be obtained from other sources.Īlthough most of this software is usually under copyright, the owner may not be tracking it and copyright violations are normally not enforced and those who share the products do so without having to compensate the owner. Such games are usually considered old school, but still find profitability in devices such as PCs and cell phones.Ībandoned products also come about as a result of the company owning rights to the software going out of business or selling the product to a new owner who is not interested in continuing to develop the product. Some of the most popular abandonware games available online today include Prince of Persia, Prehistorik, Battle Chess, The Armageddon, Terror from the Deep among several others. The most popular abandoned products include word processors, interactive video games, operating systems such as Nextstep and OpenStep among other applications, and these are often downloaded from freeware websites. I like my games simple, so: no 3d, no FPP, no rotating, and more hightech stuff like that, but just good old enjoyable games.Abandonware is commonly used to refer to computer software that is no longer used or sold by the owner and for which no product support is available from the manufacturer. I came to the conclusion that the major part of my games are the old classic games, 75% or maybe more is old, and in my case there arent that many modern games that suit me, based on my personal experience in gaming for over 40 years.īut fortunately there are still some good designers, i watched some videos of shardlight (wadjeteye)Īnd this game is one of the few newly released games that will be added to my good old games collection. I just compare my 40 years of gaming with the gaming experience i have with todays games, )before that i already had those handheld lcd games the ones that costed 15 guilders or so)Īnd unfortunately if i discard the 400 (or even more retail casualgames (cd/dvd) and 300 digital casualgames (all drm free ofcourse) Its just when i see some posts talking about so called games that were 'abandoned' and i read that most of the time they seem to like these old games from the past better then most of the games today. =P nah, its not that i dont care for some things, or fail to care for it properly.
He doesn't so much go off on a tangent of his own as he occasionally comes back from one. HunchBluntley: You're talking to gamesfreak, here. Worst thing is having bought lots of 16 bits game on retail that wont run anymore. The internet is bloated with lots of crapware games being released these days and are tried to be sold.

I mean nowadays there's just too much garbage released among games, looks like they forgot how to create real good games instead of crappy games which seem to be produced by the thousands a day or so.
There are so many good 16bits games that really need a way to be able to be run again on a 64bits system

64 bits win7 i have so i cant install it. I have the original Mech Commander on retail cd but 16bit games wont run on that. Once you've scaled that barrier however, weeks and weeks of incredible madness awaits.
NH and DF are two of the most unexpectedly awesome games I've ever played, but both do require a solid day or so of pulling your hair out though, just to figure out how to play, especially DF. Matewis: I'm not sure how to find out for sure, but I'm under the impression that both Mechcommander Gold and Battlezone 1 are free these days:Īpart from that I also recently tried out and Dwarf Fortress, each of which recently received a massive update. A better option might be Eath 2150 which has some similarities.Īpart from that I also recently tried out and Dwarf Fortress, each of which recently received a massive update. Is free and a pretty fun RTS, but the quirky pathfinding and suicidal unit behaviour made the game a bit unbearable for me after a while.

I'm not sure how to find out for sure, but I'm under the impression that both Mechcommander Gold and Battlezone 1 are free these days:īoth are absolutely excellent, and both work flawlessly on modern systems (well at least on a 64 bit win 7 system)Īnother game's freeware statues I'm also not sure about is Abuse.
