www.the-underdogs.info Don't know if you guys have discovered this yet, but it's the best time-waster on the internet. I just found "The Adventures of Willy Beamish" (an oldskoool dos game that used to come bundled with Gateway computers) on here, and have been playing it a bit. It's such a shitty fucking game, and the music is shitty as well. A real fucking waste of time. Try it out! Commander keen is up there, as well as other adventure point and click and grab and use handkerchief with sultan who is on fire games. Post if you find anything good! |

I've downloaded every game they have, I think. Good ones: ..and so many more, but I don't have the time to write them down, and it's more fun to find stuff on your own, etc etc. |

You can also use google. I found 'battle chess' awhile ago. Then I realized I suck at and hate chess. Rogue is a really old fun game due to randomness even though its impossibility makes it.. impossible. And there's practically no freakin swords. Sam and max was great as I remember from long ago anyway. If you like it similar games are full throttle and day of the tentacle. kings quest 1,2,3 were great before they started getting gay. I like the music in kings quest 1: boo bee boop................. bee boo boop......................... (repeat) |

interesting... does that mean that different rules apply to console and PC versions? let's phone konami and ask... or not. i like abandonware... i did 5 years ago... but at some point you realize there are only so many dysfunctional horizontal scrollers and pointless point'n'click adventures that you can try "out of curiosity" before realizing they suck. Granted, there are some true classics there, but beware: many of them are stripped down to some extent, including MGS and other "CD-rips". Also, they don't provide many popular games anymore (like LucasArts) because of copyright issues. Still, a worthy cause and a good site. But remember, just googling some old games will probably give you a more extensive list of choices, across dozens of websites. |

neverhood! thats a good one.... theres a really strange one called "the dark eye" which features music by thomas dolby, and some voice overs by william S. burroughs... its by infocom... the same people who did freak show and bad day on the midway (which was pretty much a collaborative art project between the developers and the Residents... released on ralph records i think... i really love SOME of the residents' music so this is a real find). pretty strange interface, but neat in a myst-y sort of way. It's basically an interactive retelling of 3 of poe's murder mysteries from both the victim and victimizer. neat concept. |

http://r00t3d.com/abandonw/ there used to be an open directory of 9GB of abandonware here. i downloaded it all before it was removed. lols. |

I used to download all the old PC games--then I realised that I would never ever play them. |

All this talk of abandonware has caused me to yearn for some classic GTA 1&2 gaming.. I've just become aware that Rockstar is hosting them for free if you provide an address (which you can just enter a fake). if you're interested. |

TIM is simply one of the best video games ever made. |

agreed; including its spin-offs and latter day children like armadillo run |
