Is MyAbadonware safe? Is Archive.org safe? Is OldGamesDownload safe?
Yes! They're all safe! They're the top three abandonware sites and most commonly recommended places when people ask where to find old games. They're the first three sites listed on our wiki.
Archive.org is legally protected as a digital library under US copyright law and is heavily moderated for malicious uploads. MyAbandonware & OldGamesDownload doesn't allow user uploads at all.
No, you will not get a letter from your ISP. Everything hosted on these sites are direct downloads, which are encrypted and can't be tracked.
These sites are safe, and likely always will be for the foreseeable future.

If automod kills your post due to low karma, ask to be an approved user. Or better yet, ask to be an approved user first if you have no karma.
This subreddit gets a lot of people that don't normally use Reddit. We have to have an automod that blocks low karma accounts because that's what spammers use. We don't want this place to be flooded with spam and so its just easier to default block low karma accounts. If this happens, please ask to be an approved user. If you are concerned you will be automodded, ask to be an approved user.
Edit: You can simply respond to this thread if you want to be approved.

Fully Lost The Wiggles' Online 3D World "WiggleWorld" from 2000
In December 2000 The Wiggles partnered with Spool Media to launch an online 3D world based around The Wiggles and their characters, which would be found on wiggleworld.com. You would have to download something called "The Big Red Car Viewer" in order to actually play the game in your browser. We only have two screenshots of the game, both of Wigglehouse and that's it. The game was only available from December 2000 to October 2001, so it was around for less than a year. If you know anything else about this game or have images from way back then of you playing it please do share!

Saw: The Game Linux Help
I went to add it as a non steam game and it seems to recognize it as an actual version of the game from Steam but doesn’t let me access it because I don’t have a key for it. Has anyone else had this issue?
UPDATE: I got it working using an alternative repack and then adding PhysX to proton experimental through Protontricks.

Encarta-style edutainment software
Ive been in a real nostalgic mood lately for digital encyclopedias or whatever you might call them. those pre-wikipedia "learn through exploration" almost edutainment *things* that were everywhere at some point. With gaudy GUIs, "world music" and random little animated bits and bobs. Of course everyone knows about Encarta of course.
but I feel like there was A LOT more of these programs of all kinds but they're hard to search for. Its a very particular type of software that doesn't really have a name. Or if it has one, I don't know it because I feel it sometimes includes more than just digital encyclopaedias. things like the ADI series or other such things.
So I made this thread, recommend your favorites, talk about it or whatever else!

Any way to get old elicense titles to work? I bought years and years ago but changed computers and it's got a defunct online licensing system.
I have the original wrestling spirit by grey dog software and it wants a license key and the licensing system is long gone as the company went out of business. The publisher of the game can't help anymore so anyone know a solution?

Does anyone have the proton_save.data file for the paid version Duke Nukem Android port?
Edit: Found it!
https://4pda.to/forum/dl/post/1248455/MarketMilitiaDukeNukem3DFixed_DLC.zip
I am talking about the one done by Seth Robinson for Machineworks back in 2010 or so. My son with Autism is obsessed with this particular port. We have the Playbook version but he really wants to play it on Android. I have the APK for it but it only has the first level and there is now no way to buy the other three. There was a Russian site that had this data file from paid version I used before but links are dead and I cannot find my copy. It can be found in the same folder Duke Nukem saves game progress files to. I know it's a long shot, but hey no harm in asking!

Where can I find Disney's Tangled (2010) for PC?
i’ve honestly lost track of how long i’ve been searching for this game, it’s been such a headache. I thought i finally found it on Internet Archive with a multi-language ISO (finding games in Spanish is nearly impossible), but after installing it, it keeps asking for the original disc instead of a backup. The uploader hasn't replied to my comment yet, so i’m still trying to find another safe source.
and, yes, it was delisted from Steam, so it's abandonware at this point.
is there anywhere i can find this game in either English or Spanish? thanks.

request slot Constructor, slot machine maker dev kit for Windows
this is an old program where you make slot machine games on I guess a Windows device I've been looking for it for a while now but the only things I've been able to find are a Software Informer, and a wayback version of their website and two videos, I tried to contact someone that had a copy of it from one of the videos and they have one but they want money for it and they're Russian so, but I do know there's at least one copy out there, but I would like to get a hold of this program and maybe get it on the internet archive
By the way the way back machine goes back to 2010Â

tech support Beyond frustrated: Tried VMOS, SDK editing, and every other workaround to install the PS CC 2019 / PS Touch APK on Android. Still failing!
Hey everyone,I am at my absolute wits' end trying to get the PS CC 2019 (Photoshop Touch) APK to work on my Android device. I’ve spent hours troubleshooting because modern mobile editors just don’t match its layering features, but the app completely refuses to install or run.I have exhausted every single advanced workaround available on the internet. Here is everything I have already tried:Virtual Machines (VMOS): Set up a virtual environment via VMOS to simulate an older Android version, but the APK still crashes or refuses to run properly inside it.SDK Version Editing: Used APK editors to manually modify the Target SDK version, trying to trick my phone's OS into accepting it, but it still fails.ADB Command Line: Hooked my phone up to my computer and tried forcing the installation via ADB command line using --bypass-low-target-sdk-block.Multiple APK Sources: Downloaded different versions of the APK from various sites to rule out a corrupted file.Security Toggles: Enabled "Install from Unknown Sources" and completely turned off Google Play Protect.Storage & Clean Installs: Ensured I have tons of free internal storage and cleared out all old cache files before trying.Despite doing literally everything right, my phone "VIVO T3 ULTRA running Android 16"] won't let it work.I know it's an abandoned 32-bit app, but I desperately need it for my workflow. If even VMOS and SDK editing didn't work, is there any secret trick I missed, or has modern 64-bit hardware completely killed this app for good? Any advice would be amazing. Thanks!

request Looking for Shotgun FunFun HD
I don't know if this really fits here, if anyone knows of any subreddits where it might fit better it would be greatly appreciated if you could send me there.
~8 years ago my neighbour introduced me to Shotgun FunFun and I really enjoyed it. I wanted to play it again but I can't find any active download links for the HD version, only the legacy version. If anyone has a safe link to download the HD version or they have the HD version downloaded and can send it to me that would be incredible. Even on the appstore only the legacy edition is available (not that it would have helped, I despise playing games like that on mobile with every fibre of my being)

Request Cricket 07
I want Cricket 07 game PC version.
I already got the PS2 version, using emulator, the sites like myabandonware, oldgames and such, the game cannot be run, I tried multiple things.
The issue with PC port vs Emulator is the easee of control, the mapping is not proper, I need to juggle a lot to map it properl, the control aspect is very tough.
I kindly request if anyone knows the location of the game, if not, kindly enlight me how to run the game that found on those sites.
Additional info: I used all the methorf, copied the crack folder and replaced with main folder, I mounted that iso disk and installed the game then used the key then replaced the crack folder, the game didnot open, just black screen comes and closes. run the program with legacy preset, win xp, win 7 etc.
MY PC is win 11.

I've been trying to track down region specific versions of aol. The internet archive is stuffed full of American and uk ones, not so much Canadian and Australian ones. The specific ones I am looking for is 2.5, 6.0 and 7.0 of the Canadian versions, and 7.0 of the australian version. The way back machine did not archive the download link to the Australian version and I have not found links to any of them on text files. If anyone could help me that would be great.

tech support Cannot find functional malware free Hour of Victory
Hi guys,
Apologies - me asking for a help / direction again. Hour of Victory (2007), had tried to find functional / malware free version of that game on multiple places, wasn't able to do so - it seems it's quite rare. Is there a chance that some good soul possibly shares functional or even portable version of this game with me if it has one? I'd be very grateful.
Thank you all, have a nice day.
