YES! I am reading the August 2005 PCGamer magazine. On page 17, left hand column, first paragraph, Abandonia is mentioned.
This is totally awesome!!!!! :ok: :ok: :ok: :cheers:

:cheers: yes this site definatly deserves to be mentioned. should mean a flood of new members. (good or bad thing, who knows)

:cheers:

Yay, and to think it's all because of me!

We never thank you enough do we ? :kiss:

:ok: nice one stroggy. :ok:

Whoa, yeah, das real nice there.

It's pretty exciting, but people find the word "Dog" more exciting.

People always prefer the underdog, even when the underdog is larger.

We've been in there before - that's where I heard about the site. Still, could be handy.

Heh, ya I saw that article too.... :cheers:

This is a real testament to the great site we all have here.
I'd like to take this oppertunity again to thank all the vips and admins for their hard work and dedication. This is by far the best community I've come across on the web.
Remember to keep clicking those links boys and girls, and everyone new reading this...sing it with me....


click a link
do it now,
or you stink
like a muddy cow.

Well, it's nice to see some attention for Abandonia.
But for NK.tv I'd give a kick in the a$$. They show off the games hosted in this site every week, by "geniuses" who found it by accident. Muthaf... :whistle:

It is? How?

Oh no. I'm getting famous.

:tomato:

Dun question allmighty Stroggy :).

Hehey well I got an honourable mention a while back for my parody of that letter. With the nephew's subscription.

Joseph Brereton of York, that's me!

Well done on Abandonia's success, it was also mentioned a couple of issues back in a games review.

@ Yobor

Why don't you scan the article, so that we can place it in the "in the press" part of the site :)

Oh, Yes! Do it! We need it! :ok:

I recommend asking Future Publishing first, though.

Umm I don't know about asking Future Publishing. I have no idea who they are :whistle: But I'll scan it in.

EDIT: alright I'm sending to Titan right now.

Future Publishing is the company that owns PC Gamer, amongst many other magazines.

yay!! good for us!! :D :D
:Brain: :party: :Brain: :party:
lets celebrate! :drunk:

Yeah, all hail the great Stroggy for making Abandonia famous :D

My copy just arrived today. As soon as I saw the word Abandonware I wondered what sites they would mention. Way to go. They mentioned this site and HoTU, and those are the two main sites I use for PC Abandonware. Word.

:cheers:

yay abandonia is getting even more famouse :D. Congrats to admins, and the people who keep abandonia updated.

One thing i really hate about the article is in the end they say. "dont worry if a company asks HOTU to take down one of their games HOTU will do what they are asked." Well so will abandonia wont we!!!!!!!! so why not mention we will!
