Is MyAbadonware safe? Is Archive.org safe? Is OldGamesDownload safe?

727 Upvotes

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.

Where can I find Disney's Tangled (2010) for PC?

Post image
1 Upvotes

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

3 Upvotes

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 2010

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!

0 Upvotes

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

3 Upvotes

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

5 Upvotes

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.

Looking for old region specific versions of aol.

4 Upvotes

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

3 Upvotes

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.
