Join her in this mystical adventure through the lands of Tamir, as she attempts to find a magical fruit and return to Daventry. Thanks to Eleima512 today we've added the manual for King's Quest IV: Perils of Rosella. If you fail in your quest then KQ5 never happened...
The newest game on Abandonia didn't gain much popularity at its time of release, but it's a gem because it doesn't strive to adhere to common adventure standards. Exclusive thanks go to Ermuli who offered us his archive, the three disk images and a set of boxshots.
Our acclaimed technician Adnan solved an issue connected to our RSS feeds.

For all of you role-playing adventurers, the latest rumors tell of a new world in need to be rescued from the Ultimate Evil. WarWizard was the only game developed by MicroGenesis. It's a hidden gem for us retro gamers, and you're sure to find some satisfaction in it. This time, the honors go to Scatty who wrote a nice review for it and Zakhal, the one who has uploaded the archive.
Prince Alexander returns as the main protagonist in King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow. His quest for love would be pointless if not for the Guidebook to the Land of the Green Isles. You can take a peak inside by downloading the tome from the extras section of the game.
Fatality!
Remedy debuted in 1996 with this memorable project. That's why probably they rereleased it for free in 2009 upgraded to run on modern OSs. bobson gets all the attention this time for his determination to be the first to review this classic. He also supplied a series of music tracks for the Abandonia Frequency.
Since I don't want to waste space with a small newspost, how about I direct your attention to a couple of incoming events? First, we're 1 title away from reaching the grand number of 1300 games on site. Another round and sexy milestone is the amount of likes we got from you on our Facebook page - only 4 more retro gamers and we'll reach 1000!
Vaul was very kind to scan the Vengeance of Excalibur manual, which contains detailed background information and tips to make your playthrough an enjoyable one. I also find it important to mention you can import your characters from the first title in the series. Not many RPGs have this feature.
Big thanks to Vanshilar for the Archive and Copy Protection codes and some more thanks to an Anonymous source who gave us the review and screenshots. But no time to wait treasure is waiting just around the corner.
Are you suffering from the Post-Christmas blues, do you want to play some good old fashioned games and do so online with your mates from Abandonia? If you do, well we have the answer for you.
One of the first MMO (massively multi-player online) games was published by Sierra, and it was called The ImagiNation Network. It had chat and many different games--from parlor to arcade and sports and a dungeon-crawling RPG--that you could play with your friends and anyone you met there. All this in 1991--incredible, huh?
Here you can see a small sample of part of the games and features (but the more people you play with, the more fun you'll have!):
This game is now not only in the past any longer, because it has been brought back to life by some dedicated people and can now be downloaded from our site. Moreover, this used to be very expensive in the 90s, but now it's free to play! We here at Abandonia want to show our thanks to the people who brought it back, and the best way is to have as many of us as we can log in and play some games with each other over the next week. We hope to see you there these holidays.

In other (late) news, on 19th December, a new version for ScummVM was released, namely 1.2.1. It includes fixes for several bugs, including problems with classics Cruise for a Corpse, Lure of the Temptress, and The 7th Guest. Nothing new regarding other supported titles. This version is one more reason to give the software a try if you haven't done so.
