Dear Abandonia visitors: We are a small team that runs one of the largest DOS Games websites in the world. We have only 3 members of staff, but serve 450,000 users and have outgoing costs like any other top site for example: our servers, power, rent, programs, and staff. Abandonia is something special. It is a library of old games for you to download. It is like an old gaming arcade with all the old games in their original format. Abandonia is a place where you can find great old games and have fun four hours and years. To protect our independence, we are dependent of our friends using the site. We run on donations averaging around 6 USD (5 Euro). If everyone reading this gave the price of a cup of coffee, our fundraiser would be made easier. If Abandonia is useful to you, take one minute to keep it online for another year. 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 doing our best to keep the site open and free and will appreciate your support to help it stay that way.

‐ Thank you from the Abandonia Team

We are trying to make it easy for people in every country to donate. Please let us know how we could make it easier for you.

Please give whatever you can to help us.

Writers wanted, will pay with games

Big news! We're beginning to publish games without reviews, to actually enhance the process of getting reviews for the unpublished games we had, lost in the attic. This means that you no longer have to wait unreasonably long times to see your contributions published because you aren't feeling like a writer.

It also means that when you see a game without a review, identified by a huge "review this" banner, you can click on the banner to volunteer for reviewing it. We think that this way we'll actually get games reviewed faster, and do a better job of making games available to you.

We're starting this with a double game release:

  • Warcraft II Tides of Darkness and the expansion Beyond the Dark Portal, courtesy of The Fifth Horseman, complete with manuals. This was really overdue! If you haven't played yet the second game of Blizzard's Warcraft universe (really?!) now you can; and if you have, I'm sure you'll be up for some revisiting.

  • Chuck Yeager's Air Combat, from AbandoniaEddie: an old flight simulator licensed from the first human to break the sound barrier.

      • Enjoy, and please consider helping us with reviewing them!
