Abandoned Games

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Sunday April 23, 2006 @01:29AM from the something-to-think-about dept.

Ghost Pig writes "The people of Exiled Gamers have put together an Abandonware Campaign with which they hope to be able to convince game publishers to rescue titles from their current 'Abandonware' status, and make them available for the public to play (legally) once again. They have made mention of quite a few titles that have slipped into the status of Abandonware (titles that it's no longer possible to buy at retail, and that are near impossible to locate on sites such as eBay), which includes System Shock 2, Freespace 2, as well as older titles, such as The Chaos Engine, Alien Breed and Flashback."

If memory serves, Abadon was the name of a demon (major or minor I am not sure) - so whats going on here? Are they talking about porting these games to *BSD or something?

I'd love to get my hands on Vib Ribbon or Rez.
