MY ABANDONWARE VS 12 Foot Ladder

My Abandonware (myabandonware.com) is a site that hosts... abandonware. Old PC games that have it's copyright either unenforceable or neglected and unprotected.

The only way to play these games "legitimately" is to buy a disc from a reseller, sometimes amazon. Source: 11 months ago

The main game I am wanting to get running is Lego chess.... Or Aladin chess if Lego won't work. But on myabandonware.com it is listed as an ios. When I tried to use PC game wiki to get lego chess to work, it still did nothing. The computer would think, the install / exit program box would appear, but clicking it would do nothing.

(1) Technically, I think that site works by identifying itself as the Google webcrawler and seeing the full-text version that many sites would like to have indexed. (2) There's the question of why that site isn't taken down (or how it pays its bills) and my guess is this: In the 2000s it was an open secret that you could read the news on most sites like The New York Times with the username and password... - Source: Hacker News / 16 days ago

This pot roast with winter root vegetables (I use rutabaga instead of celery root, but any root veggies are perfect) No sides needed other than bread and/or maybe some noodles. If you want a green vegetable, track down a whole stalk of brussels sprouts and roast them.

Use 12ft Ladder. Breaks the formatting, but you can read all the text. Source: 5 months ago

I've never had an issue with a paywall on their website so no idea but you can try opening it via 12ft or Archive. Source: 6 months ago
