MY ABANDONWARE

Abandoned Software: Catalogs & Downloads

My Abandonware is a website that catalogs and provides downloads for old, abandoned video games and software for PCs and consoles that are no longer available through official channels. It aims to preserve these old programs and games.

What is MY ABANDONWARE?

My Abandonware is an online community website launched in 2015 that specializes in cataloging, preserving, and providing download access to abandoned classic PC and video games that are no longer available through official distribution channels. The site contains tens of thousands of game titles originally released from the 1970s through the early 2000s for platforms like DOS, Windows, Amiga, C64, and classic game consoles.

The site does not actually host or distribute copyrighted game files itself. Instead, it aggregates and links to files hosted on third party sites. It provides game metadata like descriptions, screenshots, cover art, and user reviews to help users learn about and evaluate games. The goal is to preserve these old games and software that the original publishers no longer sell or support, but that still hold nostalgia and historical value for many users.

In addition to the catalog and download links, My Abandonware provides discussion forums for users to talk about classic games. It has an active community that contributes metadata, reviews, and development efforts around abandonware titles. The site owners do remove links if they receive DMCA takedown requests from copyright holders.
