01-04-2006
We have some great news for all you game lovers out there. Thanks to our benevolent leader Kosta -who struck some kind of deal with Lucasarts- Abandonia now has permission to host (for a limited time) a truly awesome game: Monkey Island 3: The Curse of Monkey Island! It's a whopping big download (623 mb), but it sure is worth the wait!

CyClones
Hi! First of all, I hope yesterday's little prank didn't make you very mad :) I got no hatemail yet so I'll presume you took it light-heartedly. As for today, we REALLY are making an update ;) Its a somewhat unknown game called CyClones and I'm sure many of you will enjoy it as it falls into a genre that is greatly overlooked on Abandonia - FPS :-) Scarface gives us his opinion on it. Have fun!

Paperboy 2
For many of us, being a paperboy or -girl was the first job ever. You get to relive the days of dodging cars, evading rabid dogs and such in Paperboy 2 which is a superbly revved-up version of the original according to Sebatianos!

Kwik Snax
No Easter would be complete without a game about eggs. Kwik Snax is a game in the Dizzy series, but it's different from the platform games. Go on, and rescue the yolkfolk!

Nippon Safes, Inc.
Do you have what it takes to crack safes? Do you have a knack for cracking banks? Are you capable of handling Nippon Safes, Inc.? We'll see, after you've downloaded it and gave this zany cartoonish adventure a try. A big bag of peanuts (with butter and jelly) go to Master MC for providing us with this gem.
