Still, none of you listen to me. Epic games Wrote clearly, that they're NOT assosiated with Epic classics...

All you needed to do, is put a U after the P in PM, and you'd be singing a cruzan Taboo word Laughing

i'm all for abandonware, makes sense and I hope it just doesn't encircle dos games but all sorts of games and programs.

ne one knows the difference between shareware and freeware? they're the same right?

and warez... no no no, cracked games suck...
one time my m8 passed me tomb raider2 and i thought cool he made his own copy, then i played it till the end and i thought weird shouldn't there be cutscenes, then again it was my first TR games i've played.
So i'm about to complete it and after days of playing I was looking forward to the ending...

kill the last guy and NADA, nothing I was totally dumb founded I will never play a warez game again!!!

Basically, shareware is used to be a demo to advertise the rest of a series, suck as CK4, while Freeware is does not advertise.

um, freeware companies do advertise....

What JTA means is Shareware is like demo of a game, whereas freeware is a full version game already, that's just free.

A huge database of freeware games can be found at http://www.gamehippo.com

I think that it is most definitely wrong to put up for download games that can be bought. But when it comes to abandonware it is difficult to say, but I personally don't believe in it. Maybe if, instead of abandonware, we just all sent e-mail pestering the companies to release games they no longer sell or support as freeware, we would get a response?
