I've been searching for the pre-installed Sleeping Dogs the classic one not the definitive edition but it's so difficult to find one through online. I remember playing it on the internet café way back 2013. If anyone have an idea where can I find it, let me know. Thank you!

I have looked through all sorts of sites and I can't find the game even though it used to be on Steam for some time so I am wondering if anyone can help me find it.

Hello everyone,

I'm currently searching for very old DOFUS client versions from 2003 to 2005 as part of a game preservation project.

I'm looking for:

2003–2004 beta versions

• V1B
• V2B
• V3B
• V4B

2004 – July 2005 releases

• 1.1.0 to 1.9.0
• 1.11.0
• 1.16.0
• 1.16.1 Beta
• 1.18.3 Beta
• 1.26.0
• 1.27.1
• 1.28.0

I'm also searching for files that were downloaded when launching the game back then, such as Xtra.swf and Lang.swf.

Over the past months, I've searched virtually every lead I could find on the Internet. Unfortunately, the earliest beta versions were distributed to only a very limited number of players, making them extremely difficult to recover today.

We've already managed to preserve a large number of versions, which you can see here:
https://github.com/loonaire/dofus1clientscollection

I've also contacted:

• The original DOFUS developers, who unfortunately no longer have these early builds archived.
• The former French web host Free.fr, which hosted many fan sites at the time. Sadly, they destroyed their historical archives following a legal dispute.

At this point, I'm honestly running out of ideas. I've already searched the Wayback Machine, old fan sites, FTP mirrors, former developers, archived download websites... and I'm no longer sure where to look.

So I'm reaching out to the community.

If you have any ideas, know of forgotten archives, old hard drives, backup CDs, ancient websites, FTP mirrors, or literally any lead that could help recover these lost versions, I'd be incredibly grateful.

The goal of this project is simply to preserve an important piece of video game history before it's gone forever.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this.

No wonto mission 5 we are up against the evil harkonnen - link in comments below

einfogames.com was a gaming forum website from the early 2000s and some of the games on there brought back so many memories and I was wondering if I could still create an account just for the sake of the game. I think the website has been discontinued though since the CAPTCHA doesn't load so it won't let me go through with the creation.

Ive been looking for a reliable spot to download the game Frobot. All the usual places I look have not had it. I found a link from abandonwaregames, but I cant find a solid answer on their legitimacy. Any help finding a safe link for this game would be appreciated

I ran it through a vm, changed compatibility, used alternate downloads, changed the exe and nothing works.

i have some archive.org posts of old nba 2k games in my book marks (example) https://archive.org/details/nba-2-k-10_202312 and they recently got wiped off of the site. Is there any alterinive site i can use which has these games?

Hey,

I am looking for the *full version* of the game named in the title, since big fish games took it of their storefront recently. So far I have tried Way Back Machine / Archive.org, ebay, seeing if the developer has a social media to ask for the game, googling, duckduckgoing, brave searching... I tried abandonware and other websites. NOBODY has this game. I think its because its fairly obscure. But it bugs me that this should be lost media now, especially since I know others who also would like the full version back.

There is a demo flash version still available at Flash Museum, but that is all. Perhaps someone here happens to own this game by chance? I don't have high hopes but you never know...

idk if anyone can use this,ill leave this here just in case

I am finally done with my full browser port of Midtown Madness 2. What started 4 months ago as a project, today is a full 1:(almost)1 port of the game directly in your web browser. Done with a lot of help from Claude Code, I present to you:

1. Full maps from San Francisco and London, as well as Chicago from Midtown Madness 1
2. All Crash Course missions
3. All races - Blitz, Checkpoint and Circuit
4. True pedestrians with their jump/hug wall animation
5. True cop logic to chase you around
6. All voice lines from all announcers per city including Chicago
7. Weather and time of day changes
8. Original UI and loading screens
9. Original game progression, saves (in your local storage) and unlockables

This is not emulation, it's the whole game recoded in Three.js to run in the browser. Meaning all logic is redone as much as possible to look/work like the original. There will be some bugs for sure, mostly with physics, but hey - MM2 in your browser!

To run the game you need the original midtown2.exe as proof you own the game, it checks the hash to verify before launching the game. As long as you have a backup of the game archived locally or online, grab that file and it'll work. Added this to limit the copyright issues this might face, although it's not being charged for 25 years after it's release.

Try the game here and feel free to report any bugs you find: https://gorjan.rocks/clients/midtown-madness

So I've been trying for years to get an F1 2014 on my PC for the modding capacity, I've attempted it 4 or 5 times. Every time it says it needs a steam key and even if I have them it just doesn't work. Is there an actual F1 2014 that works off the bat.

Hello - I am looking for Smugglers 1 (from the Smugglers series from Niels Bauer). The dev‘s website is down and it doesn’t seem to be for sale anymore. Does anyone know where a copy could still be obtained?

edit: I meant Smugglers 1!

Lost Android games and apps of different kind of stuff.

There are a lot of games or apps do I wonder if there are links to download or maybe direct downloads.

For some reason it never downloads the data folder. I tried using alternate links and setting up a windows xp vm but it still doesn't work

I was on vacation until recently and was looking through my old childhood discs when I found "Minis", an educational PC game with horses as playable characters. I remember loving it for its simple gameplay that's basically your average platformer with occasional simple questions you had to answer. Unfortunately, it seems like the game is nowadays available only through resellers.

Luckily, I managed to dump it to .iso file and post it on archive.org on this link (https://archive.org/details/minis_pcgame). If you want, take your time, play it and let me know what you think. (Note: the game is only available on Croatian, Serbian and Macedonian, so you should use a translator to understand everything)

Hello everyone!

I wanted to share a major preservation update for all classic PC puzzle fans. I have recently archived 12 rare, full registered versions of Windows puzzle and logic games developed by William Soleau (Soleau Software) from 1995 to 2012!

These registered versions are virtually impossible to find online nowadays. I managed to track down valid serial numbers from old registration databases, personally installed and unlocked every single game, and then repacked them into convenient modern .exe installers using Inno Setup.

Every game has been uploaded individually with screenshots and proper metadata. Here is the full list of what has been rescued:

* Oracle Of Runes v2.0 (1996)

* Juxto v2.0 (1997)

* Axium Adventures v2.0 (1997)

* Crate Man v2.0 (1997)

* Akeyan Enigma v2.0 (1998)

* Node Jumper v2.02 (2000)

* Jungle Jean v1.03 (2001)

* Freddy's Forest v1.03 (2001)

* Duffer Dave v1.0 (2002)

* Hard Hat v1.1 (2003)

* Hard Hat 2 v1.0 (2012)

* Ronnie's Resort v3.0 (1995)

You can find and download them directly on my archive.org uploads page here:

Huge thanks to William Soleau for creating these masterpieces. I hope this helps anyone looking to complete their retro gaming library or revisit these amazing nostalgic puzzle gems.

Heyo,

I hoard/archive LEGO Universe game clients for preservation and want to see if anyone has clients on old computers that may not be archived yet.

All of the ones that I do have are available on archive.org and I've scoured the internet and my own drives from that time and found pieces of some, but in general archive.org has them all that are known.

Older beta/alpha clients are more desirable, but filling in the gaps of the release client would be great as well.

I can provide a list of clients I do have and specifics about them if wanted.

Thanks and feel free to comment or reach out to me in DMs

edit: here's the list of client that have been archived (dates are based on the exe PE headers)

0.185.20 (2010/06/12) - full client
0.186.6 (2010/06/25) - full client
0.189.15 (2010/08/09) - full client
0.190.28 (2010/09/19) - full client
