some fun abandonware games i've been finding lately:

-life or death... you actually to pretend you're a gastro-surgeon(is that even a correct medical term? i just don't wanna say "stomach doctor")... you go around a gastro-oriented medical branch of a hospital making diagnosis for patients... very fun... my correct diagnosis ratio the 1st time i played was under 30%... over half of those died from burst appendixes or overbleeding during surgery... or me injecting something that stopped their heart :D... as for now, i can correctly diagnose what to do... but i still can't operate correctly to save my life... maybe it's cause i can't tell what the hell the forceps look like in the game... grainy graphics... nevertheless, damn fun game...

-highway pursuit... this game roXors... it's like spy pursuit, but remade... essentially you drive around on a highway, using your sports car(it has a mounted machine gun, can add oil slick or smoke screen or fire SAMs) to ram and shoot up any enemies in other cars... very, very, very fun... good break-taker game... that is, if you don't turn your break into 3 hours :D some classics never die... like this one... it's actually freeware, not abandonware... cause it's a remake...

-test drive... ol skool... me and phil used to whore this game... this was way before the days of need for speed... my fave was the porsche 911 turbo... cause of its quick ass acceleration at the start... too bad the test drive 2 game online doesn't seem to work... test drive 3's also online, but i can't seem to slow it down properly... in any case, stunts is also a good racing game...

and if you're into othello, the freeware wzebra's hella good... the cpu is hella souped up... no 2-player, but this cpu is pretty much unbeatable... you obviously get frustrated cause of this, but your game will improve so damn much... up there as one of the better othello dls... btw you can customize difficulty, so it doesn't have to be hard...
