Lulz, _r.u.s.s. - those are cards for the CCG the computer game is based on!

Publisher = Microprose => ESA subsidiary => 10 years of active protection.
Out of active ESA protection now.

Unfortunately: 1, 2, 3 and 4 separate listings on Amazon.

The PC Magic: The Gathering game was deemed Abandonware a loooong time ago... But unfortunately the file size is way, way too big for Abandonia to host it.

Was more around 370ish megs, but it would be nice to have a ripped down version on the site.

Default Magic the Gathering

Hey man, I love what you guys do for this site and everyone who uses it. But may I give a suggestion for a new game to be added?

Magic the Gathering (microprose, 1997)

Why? For these reasons:

1. I can't find it for sale at any legitmate online site (downloads only, nobody sells the pc cd game hardcopy)

2. Abandonware, as I would define it from my experience with this site, is software that is not being bought or sold. Am I wrong?

3. I conclude this game is abandonware because all the people holding copyrights to it could care less about selling it, so why don't we (and i mean you admins, really ) offer it for free?

You know, we have a big board named "REQUESTS" where you request a game to be put on the site. Make a topic there ;-)

Sorry, but according to our lists, the game is still protected.
And Im pretty sure there's someone selling the hardcopy. Did you checked Amazon and Ebay?
