Old down-loadable games
Edited by Moderator:
Posting links to abandonware and/or piracy related websites is in violation of adventuregamers.com policy.
Edited by Mike the Wino:
I’ve been warned, and I’ve reached out to the moderator that PM’d me to apologize for my transgression, and I’d like to do so here as well.
Honestly, I didn’t even think about the site I mentioned being associated with piracy. It just didn’t occur to me because my mind doesn’t work like that. If I had actually looked past the first few titles before I posted my question, I would have realized the site wasn’t legitimate. Unfortunately, I didn’t do that.
I was really more concerned with downloading a game that might have been doctored with malicious code that might infect my computer, which was what I was trying to find out if anyone else here had ever had issues like that. Call me naive (or stupid) up until now, but no more because it won’t happen again.
Honestly, I own probably 250-300 AG’s, and I’ve paid for every one except those available as freeware from legitimate sites often mentioned on this website in the “Following Freeware” articles, etc. I never have, nor ever will, knowingly download pirated or abandonware games.
I’ve been a member on this forum since 2006, and I’ve made every effort to avoid getting involved in controversial posts and/or threads. I truly hope my faux pas above won’t completely tarnish what little reputation I’ve established here over the years.
Life is too short to drink bad wine…
I guess you didn’t know this site has a zero tolerance policy toward abandonware/game piracy.
You’ll find that out soon enough.

I haven’t been to the site in question, but basically it’s not legal but for these sorts of games there’s noone actively protecting the IP.
They are not just abandonware. Also straight piracy with games like Broken Sword, 11th hour, Grim Fandango, Agatha Christie games, etc
This is completely unforgivable. I hope TC receives a life-time ban.
No way, art should be free anyway
