Perhaps but it's still a used game being sold 3rd party...

1. In fact, those are not used copies. We do not take used copies into consideration, nor any of this "used-like new" nonsense. New, unused only.
2. We consider it only as long as it's Fulfilled by Amazon.

One final thought; I just want to point out that a large majority of the games hosted on abandonia can be purchased brand new unopened, by 3rd parties. (and "fulfilled by amazon")

Here's an example:
http://www.amazon.com/Castles-II-Sie...rds=castles+ii

(there's dozens more, but just wanted to give an example)

It just seems like a silly policy imo. Considering most games, at some point, will be sold "brand new unopened" on the 3rd party market; that includes being fulfilled by amazon. It doesn't change the fact that they're abandonware. It just means occasionally someone finds a game in their basement and decides to get rid of it on the 3rd party market.

Castles II has a description on Abandonia but it can't be downloaded. It happens with many games that were formerly offered for download. When we take the download down we keep the game page, and replace the download link with the sale one, or a notice if the copyright owner made us take it down even when it isn't for sale.

If you find a game that we offer for download as is for sale, at least FBA, we would have to remove the download link.

Castles 1 and II is sold by GOG too anyway.
