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

Who's afraid of the dark anyway
You are standing behind the corner in complete darkness. They are very near, you can hear them. What if they heard you too? They couldn't, you didn't make a sound... But your heart drums so loud you think they can hear it too, it noises and screams in your head. Well, no need to be so scared. If they hear you, at least it will be over very quickly...

Today we bring you some dark boxshots for Nightmare Creatures. You can finally kick some evil creatures' butts. Are you still afraid?

How round is your fear?
Well, when it comes to Psygnosis Limited's 1994 action adventure Ecstatica your fear is very round. In fact everything in this unique looking game is round, ellipsoid to be precise, which makes a nice little visual change from the other rough polygons of the era. Ecstatica is right here and available for your downloading pleasure (provided you steel yourself for some scary moments and some retro gore) and today, thanks to the wonderful Apfelon we have the full manual to complete your gaming experience!

So it's time to turn the lights down, brace yourself and enter the dark place of Tirich!

The Goddess has them!
The last month wasn't all too well for game updates.
With most of the updaters either being busy with real life or just nowhere to be found, it gets hard for the regular updates.

But bobinator1992 has given us another posseble reason to why they are away.
Our updaters are stuck on the Planet where the Lovely Vinyl Goddess From Mars is looking to fix her spaceship.
They are probably playing that very game now.
And speaking of playing games, you can now download Vinyl Goddess From Mars for your playing pleasure.
