Default My new happy place!

Hi all!

I've been computer-less for almost a year (stupid motherboard) but I'm finally back in business with an awesome new super computer! And guess what...? I've been spending all my awesome processing speed on playing the many olds from this site

I was bought up on the C64, Amiga, early PC and even the Intellivision (anyone else have one of those?) and you, Abandonia, have given me more than a little nostalgia

Awesome site, hello to all fellow classic gaming nerds

Welcome Kiwistar, make sure that you be careful in that long grass, you may never know who might pop out of it.

Welcom to AB

There's nothing better than "wasting" high PC resources on old games

I've still got mine, but one of the controllers is in pieces and the last time I tried to boot it up, it didn't even turn on

You can still get them on ebay tho....

Another one from the C64 era The "breadbox", and the Amiga 500, no words of praise do them justice!

Welcome. And _r.u.s.s. is right, no strange folks here, just perfectly normal guys who like pixels, system speaker beeps and manatees.
