01-01-2007 While the rest of the world sets fire to the sky, here on Abandonia we put fire to our mascot - and lo and behold, he was transformed into LeChuck! What could all this mean? Simple. As a new year passes, it also means games have matured another year, and that means that there are some games that are now considered abandonware. Some of them we already have on the site, ready for your downloading pleasure. Others are old gems that we would like to share with all of you, if only someone would first share them with us. Some of you might have guessed at least one game that now fits our description of abandonware, by looking at our little burning friend on the left. However, you can get a full list by clicking on him, and let him be your guide into the new year. posted by Tom Henrik // 01-01-2007 // permalink

15-01-2007 Thanks to the continued contribution from our members, we are able to showcase box scans for yet another game on the site; Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos. However, the person who submitted these scans didn't leave his or her name. If you were responsible for these scans, please let us know so we can give the proper credits. And, to the rest of you, we always want more box scans. So if you have a game that is featured on the site, and a scanner, please help us out. Thank you. It really means a lot to us. posted by Tom Henrik // 15-01-2007 // box shots // permalink
Zeliard Zeliard might be an old game, but do not underestimate this great classic. It was years before its time in several aspects of gameplay, and is even by today's standards a great game. I think all of you will enjoy this pearl as much as I did. Have fun! posted by Tom Henrik // 16-01-2007 // downloadable // game // Arcade // permalink

European Championship 1992 For all soccer fans, here is a good one. European Championship 1992! All you have to do is to score goals, to win and go to the next stage, but it will not be so easy, because gameplay is a bit difficult. posted by Romano // 24-01-2007 // downloadable // game // Sports // permalink

M.A.X. - Mechanized Assault and Exploration To start you off proper this week, our first update is a huge one: M.A.X. - Mechanized Assault and Exploration is a fully featured strategy game with a mech/scifi setting.

The download might take a while, but it sure is worth the wait! posted by Reup // 12-02-2007 // not downloadable // game // Strategy // permalink
Euro Soccer Euro Soccer is a game that is easy to master. As our reviewer Bruno G. likes to say, it is a "normal" soccer game. You only kick the ball, pass and score, nothing more. posted by Romano // 14-02-2007 // downloadable // game // Sports // permalink
Amulet Of Yendor Fans of Rogue can probably recognize this pic but it is not the today's update. It is the game called Amulet Of Yendor, name that was everpresent in all games from Rogue an Hack series. It is supposed to be more advanced. Perhaps the game is not that good and review is a bit long, but you might find some interesting stuff. posted by marko_river // 15-02-2007 // downloadable // game // Text Based // permalink
Absolute Pinball From a game that our reviewer describes as one of the worst pinball games ever produced, you probably shouldn't expect too much. But you should give Absolute Pinball a try, who knows maybe you won't agree with the reviewer. Special thanks to Romano for helping me out with my first update. posted by Tulac // 19-02-2007 // downloadable // game // Unsorted // permalink
Dracula in London Does the name of Transylvania sounds spooky to you? Is it reminding you on something even more scary? What will you do if he comes in your town?
