02-07-2005
Today we're not adding a game... But don't be dissapointed, because today's update is something special that doesn't exist anywhere else on the internet - the first oldwarez search engine. No more wondering what the copyright status of a certain game is! Just use our oldwarez list search engine, and it will tell you all the details about it. All the games in the database also link to a page where you can see some further info about them, be it Abandonia or Mobygames. Also, if a game is still sold, there will be a link to the page where it can be bought. I hope you will find this a worthy addition. Thanks to Tom and Timpsi for compiling this gigantic list. The list includes games starting with letters A-G for now, but new ones are being added daily and hopefully, within months, it will become the most comprehensive old games copyright status list....IN THE WORLD! ;)

Outer Ridge
Nowadays, games have grown into something big and overwhelming, which is good, since players expect to be entertained on large scale. But often, it's mere simplicity that delivers a solid amount of fun. Outer Ridge is a nice example, being an Asteroids clone with great graphics and intense challenge. You definitely should play it, if you like such games!
