i'm looking for:

  • Turok 2: Seeds of Evil
  • Virus the game (this one: Gamespot.com )

they both should be abandonware now, so its not warez :)
but i cant find them
i found virus the game on the underdogs but since the site is down...well cant find them
anyone found them?

i repeat: looking for abandonware, no warez

I don't think either of them are abandonware yet.

I doubt you'll find Turok as abandonware until 2010+, seeing as it's a fairly popular franchise. It took close to 9 years for C&C95 to wander onto Abandonia.

C&C shouldn't be abandonware anyway, seeing that's also a mega popular franchise also renewed with the C&C : The Decade pack.

I remember running an abandonware site myself, however i only focused on REAL abandonware, not popular titles that are so-called abandonware. Like has anyone ever heard of the games Phylox and Megatron for example?

Can someone explain to me what are warez and abondonwares and the like? O_o
And I remember Megatron! I may be pretty young but I still got a soft spot or the oldies :) I have a PS1 and N64 set up in my room, along with my Toshiba Satellite Pro laptop (circa 1995) which I have dubbed my "DOOM Machine". The oldest System I still have is a broken NES (Abused it as a young child <=[ ). Maybe I could make a thread about the oldies... let me run a forum search for it first....

warez are illegally procured games, that people download but are still licensed and really should be bought. Abandonware are games that are no longer licensed and are free to download. Abandonware usually comes about from the gaming companies going defunct, leavning their titles open to be enjoyed. I'm not sure of the details but I think Savage is abandonware because it was leaked so badly the developers just gave up. The first 2 GTA games have been released for free by Rockstar, and they even polished them up, which is probably the most generous thing such a massive developer has ever done for us gamers.

Command and Conquer is NOT abandonware.

warez: games obtained illegally. I belive the term was coined to avoid "the feds" on older networks (like "prOn").

abandonware: games that copmanies no longer care about. This has nothing to do with how the game is obtained (warez or purchased) so it may be illegal or legal (some companies just put their own games under the title "abandonware" but it's technically freeware. abandonware is a newer turn that people accociate with older software they want but won't pay for).
You can easily obtain Turok 2 on e-bay for ~$2-3.

Try downloading the game from here: The-underdogs.info

Home of the Underdogs is probably the best Abandonware site around.
