    That's where this thread belongs! :D

    Na it's about games that are still the originals but are now abandonware thus not emulated. But sometimes the emulated version from another platform can be better.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 897 ✭✭✭Greenbean


    Offically these games come under "warez", cause the copyright on them is still valid, abandonware or not. I mean seriously, mario isn't free no matter how old the game is.

    In fact as soon as the copyright runs out (50 years on books, not sure about games) there not warez and aswell abandonwares is probly differant (seen as sites such as the underdogs will not give people sertan games due to the legality of it)

    Amp is a muppet who can't tell the difference between making something sticky, and locking it. Needless to say, the number of times he's been arrested for indecent exposure while closing his front door is simply embarrassing.

    Locked. Properly this time :)
