Lightbulb Old game roms?

I was walking at the mall when I saw a games store, and i start to remember of my old's games of atari, intelevision, mega drive an snes...
so i think " Are so many games what gonna be lost! tittles like pac-man, space invaders, river ride... the first geration of the sword of mana, ogre battle and top gear.
So i've remember of the abandonia and i ask me, Why not a old rom's page?
since these games are no longer for sale and not in production.
If this is possible I will be happy to be able to help, if not.... I will continue living in good memories.

I'd really like this too. However, unlike many old PC games, most of the old console games are very much protected and sold (thanks to the Virtual Console/X-Box Live Arcade/Playstation Network) . So, we probably could, but the selection would be very minimal.

However, I'd think old other-computer roms, like Commodore & Amiga, would be neat. However, I've heard that Kosta (site owner) doesnt want anything to do with roms or emulation.

Yeah, I saw others wanted to add roms and were peed on from a great height... :laugh: There *are* old rom sites, and I think they want to keep this one strictly for abandoned P.C. games.

Correct. Abandonia is not going to touch the subject of ROMs or console emulation for the foreseeable future.

There's enough corrupt emulator sites on the net, Abandonia shouldn't become one.
