      As far as I know they still give the originals with the """"definitive"""" edition since they managed to somehow make the """"definitive"""" versions even worse than remastered ones, so not quite abandonware just yet.

    Wow, I love this video so much. I've been playing a bunch of abandonware titles for the past week, because the games back in the day were just TOO AWESOME!
    You guys should be careful with downloading these games, because the uploaders may hide malware inside of them. Just make sure to read the comments on the game page and check the files with your antivirus before running anything. The majority of games on the website is safe though, so you don't need to worry too much.

    Hi, did someone remember a old Adventure-Action game where the action takes place in the Middle Ages but sometimes it shows the caracter dreaming in a bed in modern days. The action starting in a cave-temple first object to get a torch, third person view.
    Later in the game you get the ability to swap into a faceless creature similar to Void ( Dota 2 ) but dark color and spikes instead hands, it helps you move objects and fight

    Question, how a game like Sonic Heroes would be considered abandonware? I mean Sonic is still an active IP and not a licensed game, I can understand Spider-Man games or even Simpsons games, Spongebob is another weird example, one of the most beloved licensed game got a remaster, weird.

      Obviously, you are never 100% save, but i think you can generally trust this site. You have to consider all the false positive messages of Windows, as you try to open an unknown file. Many people probably had this and spread the message of viruses and malware, even tho it's a Windowsproblem.

    By the way so people know abandoned where is not actually legal it still considered illegal to download what is referred to as abandoned wear because you're still downloading something that somebody else created that don't belong to you without permission so just keep that in mind you can still get in trouble for it most people usually don't because no one really cares usually because the games aren't being sold anywhere and it's the only way you can get them but just be careful
