Modern Battles
Today's strategy game, Steel Panthers II: Modern Battles is a true classic, and one of the best selection of turn-based battles and modern battlefields, such as the Korean War (1950-53), the Persian Gulf War (1990-91), and the Yom Kippur War (1973), plus a series of fictional conflicts placed in 1980 Germany, 1997 China and 1998 Okinawa islands.

An additional Campaign Disk exists, adding 3 more fictional wars involving resurgent North Korea and Germany. This, however, is not included in the download. Special thanks to dkw for reviewing this title for us.

Swimming Underground
Boulder Dash is a gem that can stand proudly near classics such as Pac-Man in terms of gameplay and the addiction it generates. There's nothing like digging for resources in the middle of may and we've got just the occasion.

Luchsen provided tons of extras for this title. Besides the manual which you may find somewhat useful, don't forget to check the huge collection counting 22 boxshots and scans of advertisements we just uploaded.

Congratulations Internazionale
Inter made a victory against Bayern in the battle for the first Italian or German treble. Right after the UEFA Champions League Final is finished, we have the proper game for the occasion.

Today's addition is the first official UEFA Champions League game from Krisalis. It may be the proper game, but unfortunately it seems that it won't give you much fun. I guess it's one of those official games... Anyway, if you like the idea of playing with Shearer in Blackburn or with Kluivert in Ajax, this may be the game for you. As some of you have guessed by now, it is the season 1995/96 we're talking about. Check it out.

The game's afoot...
... And that can only mean one thing, that's right, Sherlock Holmes and Watson are gearing up for some serious detecting! Today we have an extra's update for one of my favourite games on this site - The crafty Xhumed has provided us with the manual for The Lost Files Of Sherlock Holmes - The Case Of The Serrated Scalpel.

This game is available right here on Abandonia, and if you have even a passing interest in sherlock Holmes and tales of mystery, I can't recommend this enough. The attention to detail regarding the lore of Sherlock Holmes (for want of a better word) is wonderful. Clicking around in the apartment of Holmes (among other locations) will reveal a treasure trove of references that really show you that the developers loved and knew the source material from Sir Conan Doyle.

But enough from me, time for you guys to polish up your magnifying glass and see if you're clever enough to make solving this case elementary.

Shattered Horizons
In an endless sea of atoms, stranded far away from any outpost of human civilization, you get surrounded by a bloody alien armada. No chance for survival. No glory awaits you at the other end of the battle. Your only objective - to kill as many as you can!

Quatra Command is a futuristic scrolling shooter in space. Best part is you can run it directly in Windows. The game is up thanks to bluestarultor's efforts. He even supplied an image disk for those who collect them. Enjoy!

Bambo: First Blood
After years of hunting, it is only natural for a response to follow. Bambo, a smooth talking and witty bipedal deer has had enough. It is time to return the favour by no longer playing the hunted, but in fact, becoming the hunter. It is time for you to arm up either your M-16, Bazooka or sling-shot and get out into the field and show the humans that you are the most kick-ass stag that has ever lived in the role of the Deer Avenger.

BranjoHello is the Bambo of the contributors to this latest offering with his beautifully worded take on this multi-award winning experience. Professor Oak, playing the role of Colonel Oak in his role as the man who trained Bambo in the arts of warfare. Without him, this game would not be here for he has contributed both the archive and the manual so that if you are ever stuck, you can just refer to this piece of electronic magnificence and know where exactly your prey are hiding out.

5...4...3...2...1
Time is running out and this will make Jack Bauer look like an amateur! Today the thrilling Geezer has provided us with both the manual and box shots for the Access Software adventure game, Countdown.

The race is on - framed for a crime you are innocent of and needing to escape death row, it could all be so simple, except you can't remember anything. You have 96 hours (in real time) to make this happen - and as your memory slowly creeps back you'll discover that it's not only your fate that hangs in the balance, but that of the entire world. This game is available here at Abandonia, but I'd best stop talking as those precious seconds are quickly slipping away and time is of the essence...

Even the Aliens Know How To Hold a Gun
The ancient, alien world of Yavaun teeters on the brink of anarchy as the winds of change threaten to blow the civilization asunder! Four different races waged war against each other in order to accomplish their own goals, and within this chaos and destruction you have the chance to shape their end or triumph.

War Wind is a real-time strategy game heavily borrowing from Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, released one year earlier, in 1995. This update was possible thanks to the combined efforts of dkw (in-depth review), Paco (screens) and marko river (archive).

Darkspawn at Our Borders
There was once a time when all the world lived in peace. The harmony was kept intact by greater beings, now known as the Ancients. It was the Golden Age, or so the tomes speak... One day, the balance started to decay, and destruction took root across the lands. All the greater races died; the lesser ones survived, but were still engulfed in chaos.

Only the passing of time healed the old wounds, and civilizations started flourishing once again. A realm full of magic and adventure await you in Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos, and who knows, maybe you'll even save the world. For those who need additional help, Paco uploaded maps for every level in the game. You can now find them in the extras section.

This 3rd-person action game was reviewed by Branjohello and the archive was uploaded by marko river. Big thanks to our precious contributors for another update well done.

New Arena Section - Mêlée Island
Soon you'll be wearing my sword like a shish kebab!

We have just opened a new forum section, a sort of Arena dedicated to all those Abandonians who love to play new/old games on multiplayer together!

You can organize matches, tournaments and score challenges, remember to post tutorials and all those programs that are needed to play, but please don't link to games who aren't Abandoned.

Have fun =)

My Beard... Is Gone
Hegor the Dragon-Slayer was once a simple child, son of Thoron, a revered hunter. But after his father died trying to save his village from the rage of a dragon, Hegor vowed he'll track and kill this evil beast. And thus a great hero was born...

When he arrived in the small village of Egdon, Hegor met Commat, an ageing dragon-slayer, which in fact was full of fake and invented stories. What caught our hero's eye was the tale about the underground kingdom of Durgan, ruled by the sinister Necron. Little did he know that, after a couple of years, those dark dungeons will bring destruction once again in his home village of Thelston...

Learn all about the story behind Barbarian in the new extras uploaded by Geezer: the Introduction Story, the Instruction Reference and the boxshots. More coffers full of gold for our brave contributor!

Shalom and Salam Alaikum!
I hope you've got your shiny strategy shoes on today, because we've got something tricky for you! The machiavellian Geezer has kindly provided us with boxshots the manual and disc images for Mastertronic Group's, Conflict - Middle East Political Simulator.

This game is available on site, and casts you as the Israeli prime minister. Do you think you have the diplomatic finesse to navigate this political minefield or are you a hungry warmonger? Only time will tell...

Angry Wheels
We don't add racing games that often, but today it's different. Today you're going to unleash your drifts on the burning asphalt, and impress the crowd like never before! Well, actually I doubt you can do any drifts in Power Drift, despite the title, but you'll be spinning a couple of times when crashing.

Power Drift was reviewed by bobson, who played it for the first time in his C64/Amiga days. Another game on site, more gold in the coffers!
