Is it the fact that it is over 5 years old?

If so does that mean that windows 98 is abandonware?

sorry saw this was "general talk"

didn't realise it was Multiplayer - Please move!!

^_^ someone who knew they posted wrong
well, anyway, the definition for abandonware (as I remember) is:
8 years old or more
Not sold by ANYONE (ok, maybe ebay..)
Not ESA protected
The company is not Lucasarts or Sierra (they almost never let anything become abandonware if they made it)

kev123 29-04-2005 08:33 PM

what about kingsquest, Spacequest police quest Etc for sierra and monkey island for lucas arts??

Havell 29-04-2005 08:42 PM

Monkey Island is not Abandonware and is not on any true abandonware site. The quest games aren't either, the reason that they are on the site is that there is an agreement with Sierra.

Oh right the monkey islands are here but not for download sorry

there's a few reviews up for games that are ESA protected, like the MI ones and Raptor for instance.

I think I answered that in the first post Maybe its a good idea to read all posts before you say something useless!!

Erm, fair enough you did say that, but there's no need to slam other members, particularly the active and generally useful ones like EoF - check the group and postcount, bud.
