When a person creates something, whether that creation is a building, a novel, a poem, a song, or a film, that person is doing so for 2 reasons. First, that person is satisfying a personal desire to create. It is not possible to point out exactly what it is that drives creation, but if you ask someone who creates the answer you probably receive is that it is somewhat like an itch that demands to…

I just read the article "Abandonwarez: The pros outweigh the cons" and by the time I finished it I was so excited I started collecting more games for my fourth abandonwares CD. I've never read such a touching article about Abandonwares defense. It is perfectly correct!! We gotta save these games for our kids, so if one day they like playing computer games they can learn their history!!!

Good 'ol abandonware. I still love these classics especially the space quest, and quest for glory series amongst others. I not only ejoy thses games because of gameplay, but because of a more personal approach, takes me back to the golden age of computer games. I love, and its's now part of my everyday life.

If it weren't for abandonware, I wouldn't have
been able to experience such games as the
King's Quest Series, Space Quest Series, the
X-COM Series, Wizardry and so many others. The
people who work hard to preserve these great
games for years to come ought to be commended,
because now I will be able to share classic
games with my kids and they can show their kids
etc, etc. I feel all classics are worth
saving, no matter how primitive the graphics or
sound or interface.

Let's legalize abandonware! Those good old games should not be forgotten, but for as long as it is illegal we won't preserve them.
