Abandonware

'Abandonware' refers to software that has been abandoned by the makers of the product, usually because of age.

For anyone looking to find older software for older systems, there are a number of sites to choose from:

• • GENERAL

    • Old Apps has a great collection of old software; this is where I found many the Windos 98 related operating system updates and apps that I needed for some old Windows 98 systems

    • Vetusware has a wide-ranging collection of OSes, utilities, applications and games

  • GAMES

  • Abandonia

  • Computer Emuzone

  • GamesWin

    • Home Of The Underdogs:

    • Old site

    • New site

  • Internet archive of classic PC games

  • My Abandonware

  • Old School Apps

    • SEGAbandonware -- be careful on this site, as there are some apps that have put there with some kind of "catch" (e.g. Zuma)
