While there are plenty of options, how do you get them running? Even the first two Fallout games were Abandonware until very recently. The last one has a notable cult-following with an active modding community. But there is also a lot of newer games such as The Sims, Need for Speed, and The Simpsons – Hit and Run. A lot of games are very old, going back to the Apple 2, Commodore 64, and older. Overall there is an insane variety of games that are available. Now that the precautions are out of the way, let’s see what Abandonware has to offer. If you are ever in doubt about whether a website is safe, there are plenty of forums and sub-Reddits out there to tell you whats what. You may need other files to get this stuff running. Abandon ware is not an Emulator, it is the original software. A solid Antivirus software can have your back but its better to never take that chance in the first place. Sites such as make it pretty safe to look around for stuff like this. Maybe the antivirus comment is an overstatement but it never hurts to be too careful. Fire up that antivirus software, this can get messy! This is when software enters the realm of Abandonware. There are a lot of games that eventually stop being supported by the developers and, unless that developer’s name begins with “N” and ends in “tendo”, copyright violations are no longer monitored. Some software is less fortunate than others.
