And I've got box scans of:

If they are abandoned, then we need to carefully evaluate the risk. We love old games, and we do want to preserve them - but we have to choose wisely.

Sorry, but we have to respect the law, as it is on ESA's side. Otherwise they fire several lawsuits, not to mention shutting down the site. And then... bye bye, Abandonia.
We don't want that to happen.

Default Kings Quest [SOLD]

I read your list of games that cannot have their requests honored. You listed Kings Quest there.

Vivendi just left the ESA.

Kings Quest CAN be distributed freely as abandonware now.

I'm looking forward to it being on here. It is the most classic computer game.
