MY ABANDONWARE VS IsThereAnyDeal

My Abandonware (myabandonware.com) is a site that hosts... abandonware. Old PC games that have it's copyright either unenforceable or neglected and unprotected. This often happens when a company goes under, or a partial merger happens or something. A great example is Zoo Tycoon (the original game), or Lemmings. 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. I tried Dosbox already, and maybe I did it wrong but It also did nothing... Source: 11 months ago

When it comes to DOS games, your best bet is to run them in a DOS emulator such as DOSBox, or DOSBox-X. With any luck your game might be on myabandonware.com, which sometimes has DOSBox embedded on the website itself - allowing you to play DOS games right from your web browser (not mobile).

It doesn't just look pretty fun, it is pretty fun, and it's on myabandonware.com :). Source: about 1 year ago

Myabandonware.com is a top favourite for abandonware DOS titles. There are plenty of games there you've gotta pay for through Steam, GOG or Zoom Platform (which has all the Duke Nukem stuff officially) but there are plenty of free older games on there too, that haven't been re-released in any form for some time.

But you can try https://isthereanydeal.com/ KEY Stores since they don't do regional pricing, everything priced USD (not MENA-USD) for all countries so Key will be giftable, if there's any for that D2 DLC. Source: 5 months ago

Isthereanydeal doesn't include key resellers at all. I prefer them. Source: 5 months ago

If you cannot find it, fabricate it: you said that a steam activation code will work so get a cd case from a game or a dvd you already own, print a cover and swap it, buy rome 2 on a retailer site (they will all give you a steam activation code) and put the code inside the case; if you also want a prop cd then same story: find an empty cd, print the cd cover, cut it and glue it on the cd.
