This game is so much fun. In my mind, its the perfect platformer. It has good controls, fluid movement, fun weapons, good enemies. I know the source code was released in the late 90s, and I thought some people ported the game to run well in XP, has anyone else heard of this? It would be nice. Although it runs well for me in Dosbox or compatibility mode, it still would be nice to have an XP version on hand.

I once knew a site where they hosted the win32 version or something like that. But the site is now closed.
But the Win-version exists! It's out there... Maybe you can google for it? And maybe we can even host it!?

k: It appears that Abuse was put out by various companies. I found my cd it was made by Crack Dot Com(who may be the original maker of Abuse) and produced by Origins(before they merged with EA). Abuse came out in 1996 and ran under DOS and Win95. I ran my copy and it ran fine under XP. I brought this game back when it first came out, and however, I never loaded it up until today. I am so glad I still have all my old school games.

Anybody knows how to get the sound to work without dosbox? I've bought this game a very long time ago and played it alot since, yet I never heard the sounds.
Recently I tried using dosbox and the sound did work, but adjusting the CPU cycles and Frame skip gets so tiresome, so I stopped using dosbox for that game. |

you could try using vdmsound. but abuse isnt realy much for cpu. i could run it fine with increased cycles, without any frameskip. and actually i think that in pure windows (at least here) it runs too fast

It was me who posted that last reply, I forgot to log in.
I just tried playing the game I have on a disk in a new computer I bought a week ago. It works heavenly on this one, sound, music, everything. The sounds and music do add lots of atmosphere the this game. Seems like my last computer didn't support soundblaster, as well as VGA. Thanks anyway. I have a little question, I remember seeing a picture showing the character in a level where he walks on big golden cylinders, yet I don't remember ever seeing it, though I finished this game more then once. Was there ever an extention for this game with more levels? By the way, the version I own seem a bit diffrent from the one on this site. It's nothing really that diffrent but still. Only when I played my version the music worked, it allowed me to adjust the volume of both sound and music and instead of three bars in the brightness adjustment it had one grey one. It's all really nonsense but if you like I can zip it and send it. |

This game rocks
In a strange way, the action reminded me of games like Unreal Tournament....
The action gets addictive pretty soon |
