Immortal, The If you like poking around dungeons and dangerous places where monsters lurk, and treasure and spells lie hidden, then The Immortal could be the game for you. This intriguing RPG with its fascinating review are the contributions of Squim. Thanks go to him along with the cookies of his choice. posted by wendymaree // 15-01-2005 // downloadable // game // RPG // permalink
Formula 1 Grand Prix A racing car simulation from the early nineties, Formula 1 Grand Prix was programmed and designed by racing game specialist, Geoff Crammond, so when released it was unequalled for authentic F1 feel. I've got one thing to say about today's reviewer, Tuttle. Awesome! The screenshots were spot on - even the title screen was included. The review was also spot on, and even the game details were included, such as the game's full title, editor's rating, producer, date of release, etc. Tuttle managed to knock two hours from my job. A MUD cake will be coming his way any time now. :) posted by wendymaree // 16-01-2005 // downloadable // game // Racing // permalink
Sting!, The Ever fancied a life of (simulated) crime? Do the Godfather movies thrill and chill? If you think you might have potential for evil genius *cough Fawful* then The Sting! - a crime strategy game - could become a favourite. Bjbrains2002 has written a review in authentic mob-elese and with compelling flair. He has also supplied the screenies and the archive. Thanks, Bj. :) posted by wendymaree // 19-01-2005 // not downloadable // game // Strategy // permalink
Castles I'm sorry because of sporadic updates, its just that we've all been pretty busy lately. However, I did my best to update today so here you are - today's treat is Castles, a prequel to Castles II which are already hosted on the site. You know the drill, so enjoy and get it while its hot! ;) posted by Kosta // 21-01-2005 // not downloadable // game // Action // permalink
Return To Zork Some of you would be aware that an earlier game which was uploaded, Hodj 'n' Podj has so far proven unplayble for XP owners, which is pretty disappointing. Kosta and I have decided to offer something special today to fill the gap.
Return To Zork is a favourite adventure game of mine from one of the most popular series of games ever. Hope you enjoy your magical journey through the Great Underground Empire of Zork. posted by wendymaree // 22-01-2005 // not downloadable // game // Adventure // permalink

Ancient Art of War We have a really old classics for you today called Ancient Art of War. Brřderbund and Evryware take the production credits, whereas ultranewbie is responsible for the bautifully structured detailed review! Kudos to you! posted by Kosta // 23-01-2005 // downloadable // game // Strategy // permalink
Return To Zork Some good news for those trying to configure Return To Zork. The game is now all-dancing and all-singing, and the happy solution for the configuration is now on the Return To Zork page in the review under Important Information and also under my name in the game thread of the forum. Of course, this might just be the first hurdle for some. But for the second hurdle, Data has a solution for configuring Dosbox to work with the game. posted by wendymaree // 23-01-2005 // not downloadable // game // Adventure // permalink
Amberstar Better late then never! We haven't forgotten about today's update so we bring you a famous RPG - Amberstar. Astral has gone over all the important aspects of the game and neatly organized them into paragraphs in his review, for your reading pleasure... enjoy! posted by Kosta // 24-01-2005 // downloadable // game // RPG // permalink
Railroad Tycoon Hello all! I've had some troubles to learn how to update, but now I know (thanks Kosta, Tom, Picard and especially Wendy)! My first upload is Railroad Tycoon. It's a Sid Meier's game - need I say more? Get it, you won't regret it! posted by Sebatianos // 25-01-2005 // downloadable // game // Simulation // permalink
WWF In Your House Today�s game is something a little different: WWF In Your House. The opinion around some game sites is that this is one of the best wrestling games released. However, our reviewer, Sebatianos, has written his most controversial � and for that reason, perhaps the most interesting - review, yet, and gives reasons why this game should be have been left in the kennel. However, I think the screenshots he supplied are entertaining enough to entice sports fans into the simulated ring. After having gone a few rounds with WWF In Your House, feel free to debate its merits, or otherwise, in the Abandonian Game Discussion thread. Btw, Sebatianos, great update yesterday. posted by wendymaree // 26-01-2005 // downloadable // game // Action // permalink
Alice in Wonderland This is Squalidangel's first game and the first game I'll ever really update (that I'll do all by my self - with a lot of help from Tom). It's an excelent adventure based on the most quoted book in modern history: Alice in Wonderland. Thank you Squalidangel for this gem! posted by Sebatianos // 26-01-2005 // downloadable // game // Adventure // permalink
Inspector Gadget A very late update tonight, also one that had to be done in a hurry... But the game is just too good not to add. It's something I'm sure all the cartoon fans will enjoy. It's Inspector Gadget. Have fun! posted by Sebatianos // 27-01-2005 // downloadable // game // Adventure // permalink
Chip's Challenge Today�s update is a cute and fun puzzle game that could quickly become addictive. Chip�s Challenge is the perfect choice for when you have time to kill but not enough to play an adventure or RPG game. It was originally released by Epyx and then was snapped up by Microsoft as part of their Windows Entertainment Pack series. Thanks go to Yamacha565656 for the archive, screenshots and well-done review. Potato chips, Yamcha? ;)

Playroom Today's first update is Playroom. This fun little game is meant to teach the littlest ones under us to count and read the clock, among other things. If you're curious as to find out what these other things are, you'll have to read the review, which is provided by Jacek. He also provided the game for us. Cudos to him for that.
