How Bout Resident Evil. i know they had that on computer and it must be abandoned by now its really old. The good thing about this game though is the puzzles and the 'freak-the-muck-out-of-you' music and events.

I have small question. I wonder if Resident Evil is abandon game or not. I can't find it in any polish shops and in internet shops like Amazon. Could anybody help mi with that?

I doubt strongly that it's abandoned seeing how Capcom knows they can still make money off of it.

Zactly, it's not abandonware because the series is still on going. Seeing how stingy Capcom is it's most likely that it won't ever be abandonware until the company goes down under.

This raises an intersting question- does the existence of different versions affect a game's AW status?
For example, say Resident Evil was still easily available on Playstation, but the PC version was no longer supported. Would the PC version be considered abandoned even though the game is still available in another format?
Dreadlord
20-02-2005, 08:43 PM
Once again, do you know Capcom?
If it's still widely available on the Playstation, it's still the same license and rights! That means that the PC version only counts as a direct port, making no difference whether one version is supported or not. All they need is keep one version safe and the other is in their hands too.
It's hard to explain, but in truth they really aren't different games, only different systems.

Since the PSX version is so readily available, I'd say that makes the PC version unabandoned (I know that's not a word). You have to remember that idea of abandonware is to support the publishers. If Abandonia gives away the PC version, then why would anyone buy the PSX version?
But, if we lived in some sort of bizzaro universe where the PSX was impossible to find and only the Gamecube update was in stores, then yeah, the PC version could be considered abandoned because giving away a crummy PC port isn't going to hurt the sales of the vastly superior GCN version.
By the by: Who comes up with these console abbreviations? Where is the “x” in Playstation? Or the “n” in Gamecube, for that matter? Stupid gaming press…

The N in Gamecube stands for Nintendo. Playstation peeps are just st00pid.
I agree with you, that's basicly what I was trying to say.

That movie wasn't really that bad I remember, I mean, it wasn't great.
But at least it had some good action.
P.S. The voice acting in RE 1 sucked big time, to the point of being annoying.

I have the original CDs for Resident Evil 2 for Windows. I've played it once. (with both character). That was several years ago, and I have never wanted to play it again. The game isn't good enough for that. Perhaps I'll try it again after some more years, when I have completely forgotten everything.
The game is good and very very addictive!
(But only when you haven't played through it. After that it just gets repetive in my oppinion.)

Resident Evil 2 had control problems on the PC, but it was a port of course. At least it had better graphics :D .

Great graphics but fairly bad conrols. (Pivot, run, pivot, run)
