The games which have an "ESA: NO GO" icon instead of "Download this game" icon cannot be downloaded.

If there is a game which does not have the "NO GO" icon but you cannot download it from the site, please specify which one it is so we can look into possible causes and solutions.

Default No Go

I downloaded SimCity Classic and it was fine. But then I tried to download SimCity 2 and on the download page I got a small icon that says "No Go"

What's up with that?

This post was merged from another, and definitely wrong, section.

Read Horseman's post for your answer.

A. It would be nice if we were informed of what "No Go" means.
B. Why don't they remove the game if it isn't downloadable?

A: http://www.abandonia.com/en/faq
B: Why? Most games were downable once, and there is no reason to remove the entry when that changes. In time some games can become downable again. And there is the link to the forum for those who would need help ingame.

1. No go! means No go!. I know that the button isn't sufficient to explain why*, but the what should be clear. (*Even if it should be easy to see that we host third-party content without the unretractable right to do so.)

2. The games get removed (otherwise they would be downloadable), the reviews etc. don't. I know that you meant the game entries, but I hope you notice your mistake this way.
