Nope, sorry. Abandonware is technically illegal, since the copyright holder hasn't released it for free (yes, even if they don't sell it anymore).

yes its "technically" illegal, but what company is going to go to all the trouble of suing someone over something that they arent profiting off of?
Oct 05, 2005 zamzx zik link
freeware, meaning that the makers said "yeah...screw that, enjoy"

Heh, (almost) none. Just pointing out that it's technically illegal.

Yeah, see... No. They didn't. You lose, period. You're flat-out wrong.

um, no. a freeware web site checks it out with the makers, then puts it up, other sites though..

HotU is an abandonware site, not a freeware site.

Welcome to the Macintosh Garden, a site devoted to preserving Macintosh abandonware games.

Abandonware is commercial software that has been discontinued by the publisher and are not sold or supported anymore. If you are the publisher of a certain game on this site, and wish that it is removed, please email me and I will remove the game.

The interest for abandonware is increasing everyday. One reason is that the emulators keep getting better and there are quite a few great emulators that runs the MacOS. Another reason is that people realize that all these new "cool" 3D games already have been made. And usually the original is more fun to play. :)

The Macintosh Garden is hosted by Home of the Underdogs. Please click on the banner on top every once in a while to support our host.


As I said, you lose.
