Default Hello all!

Hey all, Draggar here and I have to say I do like this place. I don't think I've been able to find a better repository for abandonware (and a lot of that is some of the best games out there - roleplay over rollplay, content over graphics, etc.). I do have to admit, I've already found some pretty good games (Shadow President etc..).

One question though - I have tons of old CDs (and DVDs) of old games and I was wondering how I can find out if they're abandonware or not?

I do have Spelljammer: Pirates of Realmspace (Dungeons and Dragons game) that is considered abandonware but I'm not sure about the others.

hello and welcome, you can find out if games are freeware or not by just going to services>oldwarez list ( http://www.abandonia.com/en/oldwarez ) and post your games in the "offers" forum

Hi,
Please post a list in the Offers forum. The Oldwarez List is horribly out of date right now.
