610015 2007-11-10 03:24:00 I'd like to get a copy of a couple of games I played in my childhood and I can't figure out how to get them.

Games that are 15 or so years old should be made freeware because we once had the CD's but they're long gone and I'll not fork out to buy a game so old.

Why don't they just make it legal?

610017 2007-11-10 03:50:00 Day of the Tentacle and Indiana Jones: Fate of Atlantis. I've found them on abandonware sites but those sites are of dubious legality... music_man (5482)
610018 2007-11-10 04:27:00 I too have done the search for them, old arcade games normally, like elevators, altered beast etc

The closet I found is there are pc packs and ps2 packs of old games (normally labelled 'classics'), one disc I have contains 52 classic games.

Dont know about this site but seems legit, work is blocking me from it though...

610021 2007-11-13 02:12:00 I've got a couple of saved searches. It would be great to play these games again.

Why on earth don't they release these games as freeware and provide support for them with ScummVM? Lots of people like these games.

610022 2007-11-13 04:35:00 http://www.classicpcgames.com is legal, except it seems like you need to pay via Paypal.
Searching through google will find all the games for free.
