I have a small suggestion for your website. I think it would be nice to create at Links page a section for websites with old games, like CENSORED or Polish CENSORED.

Edited by mirekluza: No abandonware links here.

we do not link to sites that distribute illegal content.
abandonware is illegal. It's just that nobody cares to enforce the copyright laws.

Actually, I think Home of the Underdogs is considered legit. Maybe even too legit, some would say.
If anything is protected, they would mention it and try to give a link to the company (if it's still alive).

So naturally, many games there are just listed without a download link.

Edit by Snover: Whoops, did we let that domain stay there for so long? 😉

I think that Underdogs policy is to take down the game when the copyright owner protests. It is a good attitude, but it does not mean that when nobody protests, then it is legal to have them for download ...
Saying that, I like Underdogs myself. But better to be safe than sorry. So we do not link abandonware.
