can i get in trouble legally if i download from this site?

The other guys explained the thing very well, we have very restrictive rules here because the first one that may get in trouble would be the site.

It would be easier for you to get in trouble for a movie or mp3 you may have downloaded when you were a young boy...discovering the wonders of the Internet.

Abandonia is a sort of museum of games risking extinction, we are all volunteers and we don't get money for our work.

However if you feel to stay "safe" there are many sites around that can offer you oldies at a reasonable price, GoG and Steam for example.
