Look, we know that, as far as big business goes, abandonware is illegal, illicit, taboo...
But there's another side. Have a look, if you will, at the man named Al Lowe. Al is a programmer who created games like Liesure Suit larry and Mixed up Mother Goose and even Freddy Pharkas Frontier Pharmacist. People like Al put a lot of time and work into those old games that won't be seen on the shelves by anyone, and that's a terrible, terrible shame as there is so much to be learned by history. Al himself hosts a Freddy Pharkas site where he distributes that game in full at no charge (unless you want to order a CD)
The truth is, there are people who have put so much of their lives into these programs just to see them shelved, doesn't it do them justice to at least see their work still given to the good people who will play them? Let us not allow it, onward with abandonware, for the programmers, for the people, for the past and for the future!
