k: It appears that Abuse was put out by various companies. I found my cd it was made by Crack Dot Com(who may be the original maker of Abuse) and produced by Origins(before they merged with EA). Abuse came out in 1996 and ran under DOS and Win95. I ran my copy and it ran fine under XP. I brought this game back when it first came out, and however, I never loaded it up until today. I am so glad I still have all my old school games.
