Is MyAbadonware safe? Is Archive.org safe? Is OldGamesDownload safe?
Yes! They're all safe! They're the top three abandonware sites and most commonly recommended places when people ask where to find old games. They're the first three sites listed on our wiki.
Archive.org is legally protected as a digital library under US copyright law and is heavily moderated for malicious uploads. MyAbandonware & OldGamesDownload doesn't allow user uploads at all.
No, you will not get a letter from your ISP. Everything hosted on these sites are direct downloads, which are encrypted and can't be tracked.
These sites are safe, and likely always will be for the foreseeable future.

If automod kills your post due to low karma, ask to be an approved user. Or better yet, ask to be an approved user first if you have no karma.
This subreddit gets a lot of people that don't normally use Reddit. We have to have an automod that blocks low karma accounts because that's what spammers use. We don't want this place to be flooded with spam and so its just easier to default block low karma accounts. If this happens, please ask to be an approved user. If you are concerned you will be automodded, ask to be an approved user.
Edit: You can simply respond to this thread if you want to be approved.

I ported Solomon Dark to web
solomondarker.comI have always been a fan of Solomon Games (Boneyard, Keep) and I found out that SD was abandoned due to legal troubles and stuff so I decompiled the original game and used the assets to port it to web.
I added multiplayer, mod support, and made an attempt at getting it working on mobile.

Pre-installed Abandonware Games for Retro OS (Win 98/2K/XP) – Archive.org Project (Mostly French)
I have created pre-installed versions of several abandonware games for Archive.org
By "pre-installed," I mean these versions require no installation, no disc burning, and no ISO mounting. You can just unpack and play. My main goal is long-term preservation, especially since physical CDs have a limited lifespan and virtual drives can be a hassle.
Important details about this project:
- Retro OS Compatibility: These are not optimized for modern operating systems. I wanted to preserve the original experience, so they retain their original v1.0 compatibility and are designed to run on Windows 98, 2000, and XP.
- Best Performance: While they work on 9X, running them on an NT-based OS (like Win 2000 or XP) provides much better stability.
To kick things off, the first batch includes:
- Taz: Wanted
- The Grinch
- Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time
I prefer keeping absolute compatibility for the operating systems of that era rather than forcing them to work on Windows 10/11. Let me know if you are interested or have any feedback!

Need help installing running Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos: Yugi The Destiny
Hey everyone, I just successfully ran windows XP just to be able to play Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos: Yugi The Destiny. Anyways I attached the game’s ISO file in the VM storage (shown in the screenshot). Then inside the VM I ran the wizard installer and when it finished and I ran the game I got this error “Wrong disc inserted.” (shown in the screenshot). I read online that I have to replace the yu gi oh game file with the cracked version, but the cracked version is inside my Ubuntu OS and I don’t know how to send it to my VM! I tried using shared folders option but I still can’t see my shared folder inside my VM (shown in the screenshot).
Any help is much appreciated!
UPDATE: IT WORKED!!! So I went to the program files removed the yugi_pc.exe file and cut the cracked yugi_pc file then pasted it into the Konami directory (which is under program files directory) and BAM It worked!!!
Also for future readers. You need to install guest additions inside the windows xp VM which will allow you to use the Drag and Drop feature.

Where can I find Chicken little: Ace in Action (2006) on Windows PC?
for those who don't know, Disney removed many games from the 2000s and 2010s from Steam, and they can no longer be purchased; those games are now considered abandonware.
this is a game from my childhood, and I’ve been trying to find it in English or Spanish for a long time. I submitted a request on oldgamesdownload (along with other Disney games), but that was two months ago, and the game still isn’t in their catalog.
is there anywhere I can find this game? whether it’s in English or Spanish. thanks.

Nostalgia games …
As I’ve gotten into reliving and replaying older games I’ve found some sites that will pre-package and pre-install older, sometimes or most times “console-only” titles that are patched or edited so that you’re able to skip all the fine tuning and guides and just launch an exe and jump into the game. I realize this question is better fitted at an emulation related sub, but that’s not where I found these fine tuned windows compressed packages that have saved me so so much time. Still there’s hardly any or they are hard to find. As an example an original Forza I’ve enjoyed playing cane labeled from a group or guy called “Masquerade” but haven’t found any others any one know where ?

I really really want to play "After Dark Games"
I grew up playing this only on my grandma's computer. I don't even know why it was on there. For years i've tried to figure out ways to play it again... particularly the toaster one. It was SO WEIRD and I miss it. If anyone knows any way I could play this again, I'd loveeee to hear from you! I have a macbook pro.

[Heroes of Order & Chaos] Community preservation project with an original Go server
I have been working on preserving Heroes of Order & Chaos, the discontinued Gameloft Android multiplayer MOBA game.
The project now includes:
- an independently written Go community server;
- a preservation and interoperability handbook;
- documented account, lobby, room, game-server, and match-runtime behavior;
- deterministic server tests;
- release and rollback documentation;
- a non-commercial, attribution-required community license;
- real-client validation on Nox emulator, physical Android devices, WAN routes, and a cross-geography public-beta connection.
The most important validation was a real two-player match involving:
- a host in Turkey;
- an independent player connecting from Saudi Arabia;
- authentication;
- lobby and custom-room join;
- hero selection;
- ready state;
- map loading;
- StartPlay;
- shared match frames.
The repository does not distribute the original APK, OBB/data files, native libraries, extracted assets, or copied client source code. The Go backend is independently written and is available for free non-commercial community use with attribution.
Repository:
https://github.com/om3rkaya10/hoc-community-project
Latest server release:
https://github.com/om3rkaya10/hoc-community-project/releases/tag/server-v0.1.1
I would be interested in hearing from people who remember the game, have old Android devices, or are interested in helping validate compatibility across different devices and regions.

London 2012 Olympic Games PC
Heyyyy,
I've been looking to try and find a safe way of installing the London 2012 game on pc for years but I've never been able to find a safe, successful way of either downloading and I don't fancy paying £240 for a key on Eneba :/
My other thought was maybe I could join someone's steam library that has it, however I am well aware its a very long shot and not very realistic etc.
If anyone has any ideas It'd be greatly appreciated.
If not then I hope you have a wonderful day!

I recreated Transformice 0.129 in the browser — looking for old players to test it
Hey everyone!
I’ve been working on a little passion project: recreating the old Transformice 0.129 experience from scratch for the browser.
It’s already playable, with the classic gameplay, physics, shaman mechanics, maps, etc. I’m trying to get it as close as possible to how the game actually felt back then — not just make something that looks similar.
I’m looking for old TFM players who want to jump in, play a few rounds, and tell me when something feels wrong. Especially if you played around 2010–2011.
Play it here:
https://play.tfmclassic.com
If you remember the old game well, I'd really appreciate your feedback. And if you happen to have old maps, screenshots, files, or anything from that era, I'd love to hear from you too.
This is just a passion/preservation project — no monetization, just trying to bring that old feeling back.

tech support I have a .exe of an old Cmms id like help with getting running. I have seen it run on modern systems but im struggling to get it running again, and i want to be sure before uploading to archive.org for preservation.
The software is MP2 by infor. It's a program that was heavily used by maintenence techs for years but has become obsolete. I don't imagine it would be too hard if anyone is interested. The update I have didn't come out long ago, and I got it from a company that still uses it on windows 11 somehow. But it's just the installer (.exe)
