MY ABANDONWARE Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• ULPT: What are some unethical websites that you benefit from?

  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: 10 months ago

• help/Suggestions for getting old CD Rom games to work?

  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: 10 months ago

• help/Suggestions for getting old CD Rom games to work?

  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).

• I heard the world record is 392km/h in this game, well here is my mazda rx8 with almost every special upgrade reaching 393km/h, no mods of course.

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

• Hello, i am totally new to dos gaming and need a bit of help.

  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.

• Online game "Puterbugs" rom/download

  The game is also not on myabandonware.com, which would be the first place I'd check for something like this. I don't think it's out there anymore, but I wish you good luck. Myabandonware will surely have some similar titles in the "educational" section. Source: about 1 year ago

• How to get Backyard Baseball 2003 to work (Windows 10)?

  Download WinCDEmu as your mounting tool. Then on myabandonware.com you can download all Backyard Sports games up until 2005, that includes baseball, soccer, basketball, football, etc. Then extract the game, mount it, install, and voila. It really is simple. Note some game won't work because of graphics capabilities, but Backyard Baseball 2003 works perfect. Source: about 1 year ago

• What I scored from a Thrift shop for just $2

  You can download the files for free on myabandonware.com. It's now public domain. I'd keep the CDs for posterity, though. Source: about 1 year ago

• I ordered the Space Hulk CD and instead the seller sent me the complete boxed game, but on floppy. I'm not sure how to rate them because this is worth more, but I can't play it.

  This is on myabandonware.com so you could grab from there to play rather than getting a floppy drive. Source: about 1 year ago

• How do i play this?!!?

  Download WinCDEmu for your virtual drive. Then go to myabandonware.com to download many of the Backyard Baseball options from the original to 2005. It also has Football, Basketball, Hockey, Soccer, etc. Just mount, install, and play. :D The real fun is hacking Backyard Baseball and creating a God player that's even better than Pablo Sanchez.

• Trying to find an old mid-80s golf game for Compaq Portable

  You should go to MyAbandonWare and browse by year. Source: about 1 year ago

• [PC] [late 2000s] A whole website of crappy PC games

  Could it be myabandonware.com? Early versions of the site were browner. Source: about 1 year ago

• Xwing 1993 DOS. Anyone have disk 2?

  It might even be on myabandonware.com, but given it's a Lucasarts and now Disney title, the odds of them ever giving something away for free are pretty slim. Source: about 1 year ago

• Safely running malicious 2000s games on linux

  There you will find tons of information. For games, as I said, myabandonware.com is good, and for what I've notice, gog-games.com is legit too. Still... Better safe than sorry. Source: about 1 year ago

• I didn't like any of the golf games out there, so I made my own

  Have you ever played Links386 Pro? It's an old DOS game, and you can find it on myabandonware.com and run it in dosbox. I used to play it in 1991 and it's still pretty fun today. Source: over 1 year ago

• How would one be able to play Drowned God?

  I've checked out myabandonware.com and that has some downloads, but they apparently do not work (I haven't tried it, I'm just going off of the words of other users of the platform). Someone on the site pointed out that you have to get it through a french website, which I'm just not really sure about. Source: over 1 year ago

• Install older Windows games easily ?

  In fact, most of the older games I wanna play are now considered abandonware and can be found on myabandonware.com. I still have a few of those in their original boxes at my dad's so I might as well rip them. Source: over 1 year ago

• Trying to play a childhood favorite; I've done everything I can. I need help.

  I downloaded the game from myabandonware.com and it comes in a .bin and .cue file. These are "virtual CDs" meaning you can get a program to "mount" the disks and your computer will treat them like you had just put a CD in. Source: over 1 year ago

• Trying to play a childhood favorite; I've done everything I can. I need help.

  I have attempted using abandonware websites such as myabandonware.com, abdondonwaredos.com, abadnonwaregames.net, oldgamesdownload.com, even attempts on the bay. The most success I have gotten is download of a file, but then it when I launch the application and select 'PLAY' it would not allow me to play the game. Source: over 1 year ago

• Legit or Suspicious?

  My installer didn't look like that. Doesn't mean it's dangerous though, could just be a custom installer. But I got the game from myabandonware.com and it works perfectly fine. That site is pretty reliable as far as piracy goes. Source: over 1 year ago

• Why was Heretic II such a failure? Shouldn't this granny be given a second chance? 🙃 By the way, it turned 24 this week.

  I'm using the ISO from myabandonware.com if that helps. Source: over 1 year ago
