My Abandonware Reviews 13

I've downloaded and tried to play two different games on this site: Midtown Madness 2 and Clue Murder at Boddy Mansion.

Neither of them are functional.

Clue barely even ran because one of the files were missing and Midtown Madness 2 did ran for a while but it has the worst FPS ever and anytime I tried to mod or patch it up with Revisted or put any new cars and cities into the folder the whole game would crash due to fatal memory errors.

It's such a shame because both of these games are completely forgotten about on websites like Steam or GOG and I wish I could be able to play these classic games from my childhood again on my Windows 10 system but unfortunately we'll just have to keep waiting because this ain't it chief.

DO NOT USE
GOT A TROJAN VIRUS

Did somebody get a virus installing nfs MW 2005 or NFS Carbon? I see different opinions..

Many, many game titles are infected with malicious adware/trojan software call PUADIManager:Win32/OfferCore.

Very very difficult to uninstall. Be warned.

I originally found this when trying to find a safe download for the 1997 classic, "sonic R" I found that it had a safe download that, albeit with a bit of finagling, worked great. I also downloaded sonic heroes with the same result. both games had modloaders linked under the download, and they too are also safe. overall, if you know what you're doing, it is a great website for retro games. and no, there are no viruses to my knowledge, but i still recommend scanning the files just in case.

People that rate this site 1 star because the games "don't work", are the people that have no idea what they are doing. So far, I have downloaded 2 games from it and there has been nothing suspicious going on in my pc either, so I doubt that it will give anyone a virus. In their FAQ, they also state to still always scan your games in virustotal and if the file is too big, scan it in your antivirus. Some detections may also be false flagged. So I recommend the site ngl

Great selection of games. Would be great it if worked

Any Games you install. You are Guaranteed to get a virus. Find another website.

Terrible site you cant even play anything, you just download the file and you cant play it it probably just gives you a virus.

This website has over 17000 games to play for FREE! They have games from 1978 to early 2000's, originally released on early home computers such as Spectrum, Amstrad, Commodore and Amiga, consoles like Sega and Nintendo, Atari Consoles & Computers, PC Dos and Windows and so on. Many games can be played online immediately whilst some can also be downloaded to keep and enjoy again and again. Almost all of the games are public domain (no longer subject to copyright). Unfortunately, a fairly high proportion of the online games contain errors of one sort or another - some won't play at all - and for some strange reason, the sound & music files for the majority of games are terrible, with tinny sound and out-of-tune music so bad that they grate on the nerves and spoil your enjoyment of the game. (I find It's best to play with low volume or no sound at all; or listen to your own music)!
That said, there are so many games from which to choose that you will always find something to enjoy that works well. But do be prepared, on occasion, for several disappointments before finding a fully working game; I've rediscovered one of my old favourites now-and-again, only to find that It crashes, has appalling or non-existent sound, or simply will not work!
The format and workability of the website really could do with a thorough overhaul - It's a real shame that niggling little bugs and problems occur all too often throughout the site and haven't yet been addressed. A website so large and popular deserves to be made fully workable; as things are, It's as though MyAbandonware Is In a permanent state of beta testing! Let's hope the sites owners will put their heads together and get those minor but annoying problems sorted out.....MyAbandonware Is good, but could so easily be fantastic with a little collective brainstorming! After all, It only needs doing once.
In summary, MyAbandonware Is a very much appreciated website with enough playable content to keep us 'Grandpa Gamers' reminiscing for years, as well as Introducing our younger generations to thousands of classic games of all kinds (let's see how good you are In OUR games domain, you young whippersnappers) Lol! There's room for Improvement and has been from the start. My criticism may seem unfairly harsh, but make no mistake - I consider It to be a truly marvellous and, for once, genuinely free gaming website but which Is failing both Itself and It's users by leaving the project In this unfinished, 'limbo' state. A little work Is all that's needed.

I get to play Utopia again! My inner nine year old is very happy.

Everything worked as it should!

legit games no virus :D
