Dear Abandonia visitors: Help us keep Abandonia free with a small donation. Abandonia is like an old gaming arcade with only original games. Abandonia helps you have fun four hours and years. If Abandonia is useful to you, please help us forget fundraising and get back to Abandonia.


When Abandonia was founded it was to collect and present all old games where the copyright protection had been abandoned, hence the term ’abandonware’ and the site name Abandonia.com. We are still keeping the site open and free and will appreciate your support to help it stay that way.

‐ Thank you from the Abandonia Team

We are trying to make it easy for people in every country to donate. Please let us know how we could make it easier for you.

Please give whatever you can to help us.

Game: Donkey
You are cruising in your sports car when the little-used, dead-straight rural road suddenly becomes infested with donkeys. The world is in weird colours, and slowly but surely you think you are in the very first MS-DOS game. And you are right! Two probably unknown to you persons, named Bill Gates and Neil Konzen, programmed Donkey as a demonstration of Microsoft BASIC, which was part of the  OS-development contract they had with IBM. We offer a compiled executable for your convenience. Hee-haw!

Time to work for the pope

The Abbey of Montglane, has finally reached our archives.

You're a scholar in the 14th century, sent by the pope to recover the Ten Treasures.

The game is text-based, and has a medieval and a little horror theme, but I'll be careful not to spoil too much.

Thanks for Pczelda and Saccade, for making this game alive again.

Aaargh! Look behind you! A three-headed monkey!

No wait, don't worry...there's only a furious and hungry giant ogre! O_O

Luckily this time we are the horrible monster...eheh! Ready to destroy everything and eat terrified villagers?? I'm sure you are!

Beat it, you smooth criminal!
With the passing of Michael Jackson, it seemed like the ideal time to bring Moonwalker to Abandonia so go moonwalk over to the review and have a look!

here, kitty, kitty..

There are news from the Vega Sector: after ten years, the Kilrathi have returned and are causing trouble once more. Now, it's up to you to head out to stop them. But beware! There's a traitor amongst your ranks, so you'd better watch your back out there.

Wing Commander II: Vengenance of the Kilrathi serves some decent space action today, brought to us by Eleima512. Many fans of the series consider this part the best one, so don't miss this gem.

Pierce the sky towards infinity

We already had our little history lesson when we unprotected the game. Apparently there's no need for this now. Become the director of the space program, research, develop, test and ultimately win the race. However, this is only the first step you must take in order to conquer the void. Universe has no boundaries...

Today we complete the whole package by adding the boxshots and the manual for Buzz Aldrin's Race Into Space. Thanks Geezer for the magical scans. Maybe we should've sent MJ instead of Buzz to do some real moonwalking? Nah, no way!

ISO cellar is now open....to everyone!
Some of you might know that our forums have the section called "ISO Cellar", where people have uploaded ISO's of abandoned games. Originally there were specific requirements to get access there, but now, by sudden decision of our admins, ISO Cellar is now open for everyone who has a forum account! Enjoy, and remember to read the rules If you decide to upload something in there.

The Rules of engagement..
..are often obscure, blurry and hard to understand. Thanks to our 1st class contributor Geezer, we now have an extensive handbook available to help you understand these rules (and the game with the similar name, of course). He has also submitted some screenshots and disk images, so credits go to him today.
