You said guess....am I wrong?

Exactly how old are these games, are they spectrum era or just pre-windows?

I've got a bunch of games for my old Amstrad (an Amstrad that didn't have enough room on it to run Windows 3.!), there's some classics, Space Trader, Popcorn, Jill of the Jungle. Old games rule.

I've recently been playing X-Wing Alliance which, although no X-Wing, TIE Fighter, or even X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, is still a damn good play. I also played some Monkey Island 2 the other day, which I think has to be my favourite of the series.

So let the gaming joy spread forth...

[Boulder]

Oh, so that's what you meant by jammed drawers...

I used to have a whole bunch of great DOS games, some well-known (Wolfenstein 3D, the original BattleTech series), some pretty obscure (the AWESOME Solar Winds), but I've lost many of them. Man, I'd love to play Solar Winds.

I'm beginning to think I had a Lucas addiction far worse than what I thought, I've also got Full Throttle in there.

[maddog]

Hmm.. Old Games do rule.

But give me Rogue Squadron for the N64 or the newly made Battlefront compared to them old games.

BTW, I have a Star Wars game for my Atari 5200.. Forgot what it was called though.. I'll have to search over the weekend.

[FunkAsPuck]

I've been playing X-Wing Alliance a lot lately.

I made me laugh when Rogue Squadron 2 came out on the GameCube as a launch title, people started to hail it as "The Best Star Wars Game Ever", when the whole X-Wing/Tie/XWAlliance series surpasses it by miles.

I wouldn't mind a new Rogue Squadron game though. Just actually make a decent improvment this time...

[The Kraig]

Battlefront is better. B)

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Just go to yahoo or google and search for Abandonware.

Loadsa great games to be had there...

Cannon Fodder

Midwinter

Brutal Sports Football

UFO Enemy Unknown

Monkey Island 1 & 2

And some of the real oldies.

I've got a couple of classics on my Amiga, but have got rid of my Amstrad now rather sadly..I had some real old greats like Uridium and all the old football management games...

[apsham]

I'm the abadonware king baby, but TIE Fighter and X-Wing isn't abandonware yet, so it would've taken a lot of foreign language surfing to find, same with Monkey Islands but they're easier to find.

I've got the UFO+X-COM 2 thing though, and a whole bunch of other great stuff.

[Cactus Drags]

Is the whiole abandonware thing still a grey area? Or have they decided whether it's legal or not?

[Godfatha]

I believe it is legal since the companies who made it have "abandoned" it and thus it's basically become freeware.

[Guest Ringmaster]

Lucasart made awesome games in the day. If only I could find my old copy of Grim Fandango...

[apsham]

There's a line now:

Abandonware

-------------

Games that are old, but still sold

If you cannot any longer buy the game from the publisher, then the game is considered abandoned.

[The Kraig]

I got Croc as abandonware. Didn't work. I think I'll find out what the big fuss about Monkey Island's all about...
