The 2010 World Cup hosted by South Africa, is right around the corner. Now, with the complete lineup for the championship being determined after the play-offs, the only thing left is patience. It's only a matter of time till we celebrate the new World Champion.

So, with this occasion, we're going to look back at one of the legendary World Cups, at least for me - USA 1994. Chris uploaded a bunch of boxshots from the german release of On the Ball: World Cup Edition (called ANSTOSS in German), released by Ascaron, when it was still known as simply Ascon.

"This is the USS Wasp! Were under heavy attack by japanese forces! Requesting immediate assistance! REPEAT: We are under heavy attack, requesting immediate assistance!"

Thank goodness that Dragom was there to help out with his scanning skills and obliterated the enemy with his Boxshot-Torpedos. As you may have guessed, today we have extras for non-other then Wings of Fury!!!

You have inherited your aunt's mansion. It is your goal to uncover the secrets of this haunted place and unravel this mysterious tale of terror. Are you up for the challenge?

Today we bring you The Last of Darkness - VGA. Thanks to ESGMaster of the review, and Shadow_Stalker for the archive!

Today we have a treat for you, a game which answers the age old question, "just how much trouble can a window cleaner get into?" That's right, Future Wars - Time Travellers is back, and the answer is, "plenty!" Especially if you're a window cleaner who manages to slip between time and dimensions.  Thrill at castles and mad monks! Be amazed at times long gone and times to come! Battle with nefarious aliens! But most importantly, find out just what exactly did happen to the dinosaurs...

Thanks to Scarecrow for providing us with the game and review. Now, what are you waiting for, get travelling! 

Having ventured through the perils of the jungle and underground, Jill emerges to the surface only to find that her beloved prince was kidnapped by evil lizardmen! It is yet again up to you to help Jill defeat these evil monsters and save her beloved prince!

Today we conclude our Jill of the Jungle weekend with the final episode, Jill Saves the Prince. Special thanks to Eleima512 for reviewing this, and all the other parts! 

This is our second newspost covering Abandonia's suspicious activities around the net. Over at our Youtube Channel we've uploaded some videos from the unique 3D sci-fi action adventure Bioforge (Intro, Gameplay, Outro) recorded by Capo, and the intros from the popular Role-Playing games Might & Magic III, IV, and V, all made by Acethor. If you haven't played the M&Ms, you'll have to check them out at GoG, though.

Abandonia Reloaded, the Number 1 site for all things free and indie has uploaded Nesquik Quicky. You've probably seen that guy somewhere on your cereal boxes, or other contaminated stuff hunting for your money. Once distributed with certain Nestle products, this little advertisement game was always freeware, but not many had the opportunity to try it out.

Besides succesfully gathering 100 members and already more, it seems the Last.FM group were partying all night long with the gods in Valhalla. Now, I don't know about you, but my opinion is that the silence on the forum is PROOF they were so drunk this morning they couldn't even get up and log in to Abandonia.

And finally we invite you to become cyberwarriors in Abandonia's service by joining these supersecret paramilitary organisations: Foreign Army of CyberElves and Technologically Enhanced Terrans. Thanks again to the video uploaders, Tomekk, Lulu and Saccade for keeping all these places active.

After successfully passing through the Jungle, Jill has reached a strange cave full of big mushrooms... it is up to you to help her escape!

Today we bring you Jill Goes Underground, the second episode in the Jill trilogy. 

Big mushrooms for Eleima512 for reviewing this gem!

A new game update has arrived!

This weekend, we bring you a classic platforming game, Jill of the Jungle, one of Epic's first games.

Today comes the first, shareware episode of this wonderful platforming game! Thanks to Eleima512 for this one. :)

"The prisoner must be kept under restraint at all times," the sergeant cautioned him. "Captain Blackthorne is an extremely dangerous man, trained in all forms of armed and unarmed combat. Maximum caution must be exercised at all times."

Today we add a Manual and boxshots to one of the first games from Blizzard - Blackthorne. As usual with this company, inside the manual is a quite long backstory, where we can learn a lot about the history and characters from the actual game.

Health Potion to Geezer as a thank you for this contribution.

Lift off, fly high into the sky and beyond radars' reach, bomb enemy positions, turn them into dust and after a couple of hours return home and safely land your plane on the ground. Not an easy task in this Microprose classic: B-17 Flying Fortress.

But thanks to superjamie, we've brought a little helping material: the Technical Supplement, the Bombardier Manual, the Key Guide and an ISO of the game. You can find all of it in the extras section. Check the Notes at the bottom of the review, if there is some confusion related to it.
