Dear Abandonia visitors: Help us keep Abandonia free with a small donation. Abandonia is like an old gaming arcade with only original games. Abandonia helps you have fun four hours and years. If Abandonia is useful to you, please help us forget fundraising and get back to Abandonia.


When Abandonia was founded it was to collect and present all old games where the copyright protection had been abandoned, hence the term ’abandonware’ and the site name Abandonia.com. We are still keeping the site open and free and will appreciate your support to help it stay that way.

Unprotections 2010
Since it's a new year, we've rechecked the statuses of protected games hosted on the site and unprotected some of them accordingly. As usual, there is a number of fan-favourite titles among them, including Desert Strike, Mortal Kombat 2 and Little Big Adventure.

Other unprotections today include Adventures of Tintin - Prisoners of the Sun, Lord of the Rings Vol. I and Vol. II - The Two Towers, Rags to Riches and - last but not least - The Smurfs

Enjoy!

Dive or Drown
It's up to Kevin Costner Codner to save the Dim Passengers of Cruise Liner S.S. Lucifer from drowning in the cold ocean waters. Guide the passengers toward the exit before the time runs out in a total of 60 levels. Sink or Swim, your choice!

It's time for a new bath of boxshots. Thanks to Ermuli's scanning contraptions we uploaded, just for you, a couple of nice box scans for Sink or Swim.

Crimson in the Black Sea
Strategically, the Black Sea was always an important geographical object. It connects the Orient with Europe, the North with the South, and lies in the center of many trade routes. A lot of empires tried to transform this sea into their own lake, but noone succeeded.

But the most important role was played by the Bosphorus strait, a water bridge between the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara, separating Europe from the Anatolian peninsula. It is said that who controls Constantinopole (Byzantion, Istabul) controls the entire world. And indeed many emperors conquered this fort: from Darius the I of Persia, to Mehmed II The Conqueror of the Ottoman Empire.

Lots of military conflicts had at stake the control of the Bosphorus strait, among the last were the Crimean War (1853-1856), the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878) and the Battle for Gallipoli (1915). But anyways, you're not gathered here to listen to my long and boring story. We've added a new game, which, in fact is not related to neither of those conflicts, and it's more of a fictional sea war between Russia and Ukraine, probably taken from that period's (1992) context - the fall of USSR and Russia's struggle to maintain a strong influence in the region.

Thanks Nick for giving us the opportunity to bully Ukraine, by uploading Battle on the Black Sea, but it would've been much nicer if the bullying was mutual. :D

from shadow
After casting a spell on a shadow some things appeared. These were the extras to a game called Shadowcaster. A Mage called Ermuli created a Reference Card and his magic apprentice Munuainen managed to bring to our realm a set of boxshots.

Twilight War
Today's game shows how funny it is to experience people's vision about the future. Future for them, already past for us. According to it, we should be the children of the nuclear apocalypse. Well, we're not, but still decided to craft another gravestone for 2012.

Twilight 2000 is based on the pen-and-paper role-playing game with the same title from Game Designers' Workshop, the same guys who're behind the Traveller universe (we have two MegaTraveller games based on it), and 2300 AD, which connects the both. It's the aftermath of World War III. There's radiation and disease everywhere. You'll have to put those survival skills to the test.

Just don't die from your first day on the field! Respect points go to esgmaster who reviewed the game, and Romano, who uploaded the game archive.

Want some rye?
Course you do! Yes, that eternal question and answer can only mean one thing - We've unprotected Return To Zork! You've won a trip to the land of Zork and not everything is as it seems, and not just because this isn't a text adventure, but a 3D adventure. Do you have what it takes to discover the Great Underground Empire of Zork? Well, whatever happens, just watch out for those grues...

A big thank you to Kosta for providing us with this archive and to Wendymaree for her review!

Now faster!

Abandonia is now faster! We don't know what exactly happened but it is (or at least that's what the web-site developers told us).

So, let's just rejoice!

UPDATE: Whatever made our site go fast seems to be gone now. Because we are still Waiting for ads.users.se...
