Dear Abandonia visitors: Help us keep Abandonia free with a small donation. Abandonia is like an old gaming arcade with only original games. Abandonia helps you have fun four hours and years. If Abandonia is useful to you, please help us forget fundraising and get back to Abandonia.
When Abandonia was founded it was to collect and present all old games where the copyright protection had been abandoned, hence the term ’abandonware’ and the site name Abandonia.com. We are still keeping the site open and free and will appreciate your support to help it stay that way.
‐ Thank you from the Abandonia Team
We are trying to make it easy for people in every country to donate. Please let us know how we could make it easier for you.

Mushroom Mania We have an enjoyable game for you today straight from The Crypt! Mushroom Mania is a Centipede clone with much better graphics. Swiss recommends this classic for a great time waster. Enjoy! posted by ReamusLQ // 11-02-2006 // downloadable // game // Action // permalink
Road Hog Outrun meets Mario Kart in today's update Road Hog in which you have to cruise your slick wheels all through good 'ol US of A. Mind the cows and such that keep walking onto the tracks though :) posted by Reup // 13-02-2006 // downloadable // game // Racing // permalink

Dizzy - Fast Food Feeling Dizzy? I bet you're just hungry! I know it's not healthy, but I'm sure all you need is just an unhealthy doze of Fast Food! posted by Sebatianos // 15-02-2006 // downloadable // game // Action // permalink
Nebulus Today we feature Nebulus (also known as Tower Toppler), in which a small green pig-frog mybrid has the lead. Its mission is to destroy seven towers. A hell of a job, so what are you waiting for? posted by Reup // 17-02-2006 // downloadable // game // Action // permalink
Thunderhawk AH-73M Yo folks, it's been a month since my last update...today's one is a top-notch helicopter simulator! Thunderhawk by Core Design is a must for every sim appreciator, and a good load of fun for everyone else. posted by TheVoid // 18-02-2006 // downloadable // game // Simulation // permalink
A320 Airbus Another great flying simulator today, but for different purposes...A320 Airbus gives you the opportunity (and the responsibility) to fly a real passenger airplane. It's a realistic simulator, so make sure you know what you're doing if you don't want to cause an air disaster! posted by TheVoid // 19-02-2006 // downloadable // game // Simulation // permalink
Qix There's no game like an arcade game. We seal that idea by drawing a line under it... and aside of it, and above it, just like today's example shows. Qix brings back the fun from the old arcade machines, and we thank Swiss for bringing it here. posted by Kon-Tiki // 23-02-2006 // downloadable // game // Action // permalink
Willy the Worm We have a great classic for you today, straight from The Crypt! Give a warm welcome to the newest game on the site (though he is one of the oldest around,) Willy the Worm! posted by ReamusLQ // 23-02-2006 // downloadable // game // Action // permalink
23-02-2006 Dear Abandonians! After many requests and discussions, we have decided to open up a shop in association with LowRez Retroshirts. At the moment the shop offers several t-shirt models featuring the new Abandonia logo that will be incorporated in the next redesign. You can access the shop by clicking on the "Shop" label in the sidemenu (under news), or by simply typing http://shop.abandonia.com in your favorite browser! With time, new motives will be added as well, and we'll make sure to keep you informed about any developments! I hope you like the initial selection. Feel free to share your thoughts in the forums, and send us your pictures with the shirts "in action" ;) posted by Kosta // 23-02-2006 // permalink
Trog After you've all ordered a nice Abandonia t-shirt, you're totally ready for this nice Arcade game: Trog, in which you're a kind of Tyrannosaurus/Triceratops crossover dino that has to collect eggs. Meanwhile these vile Neanderthals are trying to prevent you from doing this. You might have to eat them... posted by Reup // 24-02-2006 // downloadable // game // Action // permalink
Laser Light I couldn't decide which game to put up today, so I tried them all...and I have to say Laser Light by Pixel Painters was the best one. Nice, colourful graphics, an interesting concept and easy interface make this puzzle game a great fun-bringer. Read the review by swiss-who-is-not-Swiss and get it! It's a small download, too :) posted by TheVoid // 25-02-2006 // downloadable // game // Puzzle // permalink
Jim Power "Jim Power, he's the man who's name you'd love to touch! / But you mustn't touch! / His name sounds good in your ear / but when you say it / you mustn't fear! / 'Cause his name can be said by anyone!"
Today's game is one of the most loved in the Amiga version, and the PC port is definitely as good as the original. A damn fine side-scrolling shooter, and a really long and challenging one too, at least according to Gamebringer, who couldn't get to the end of the first level even though having played through it for 1457 hours (reported! I'm no liar). Can you do better than him? I guess the only way to know is trying it out. posted by TheVoid // 28-02-2006 // downloadable // game // Action // permalink
