The Abandoned Gamesroom vII

A Small Day

Sat, 13 Sep 2008 08:07:53 PDT

Well, all seems nice and quiet on the Abandoned Gamesroom home front. Therefore, I might as well keep you updated on what we have been doing.

On top of our work schedule, we actually maintain a few different websites around the net. One of which is VGWalkthroughs.com which is a website dedicated to the MMORPG game called Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. If you are interested in MMORPG games, take a look at this Video that Faeran has put together, showing some game play of the new trial island, which is an entire island dedicated to people wanting to try out the game for free.

On top of that, we still come here and maintain this site. So, today we have added something special for you guys. If you are still reading this then you can go to the Quest For Glory 4 Page, because you can now download the CD version of this game there (remember to sign in to download).

From both of us here at the Abandoned Gamesroom, thanks for still supporting our site.

Quest For Glory 2 Remake

Sun, 31 Aug 2008 12:41:22 PDT

AGD Interactive has finally released the highly anticipated remake of the classic game Quest For Glory 2. It was released on August 24, 2008, and the game has definitely been worth the wait.

Don't delay and go to their website and download the game now! A link has also been added to our Quest For Glory 2 Page for easy access. Download the original (must be logged in to download) and compare it with the remake by AGDI. You know where I'll be for the next few weeks.

Cheers, Faeran

We are still here!

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 10:11:59 PDT

Hey guys, yes we are still here. We have gotten to the point where we feel comfortable with what we have here, so haven't had much of a reason to come and change things up in the last few months.

We feel that we are in a place where we can either leave the site as is, with a few minor updates, or start changing things up, for the pure purpose of having some fun. We are still undecided as to which direction we want to head in, but what we do know, is that the future holds some great things here at The Abandoned Gamesroom.

On a side note, we have added a download to the Disk version of Quest For Glory 4. As always, you will need to sign in to download.

Take Care Guys!

Journey to the Glory of the Quest

Mon, 26 May 2008 12:50:16 PDT

To follow suit with our quest for glory theme we've been having for... umm... one update, this is just a very quick update letting you guys know that after hours of debating in our abandoned halls we have decided to add the Quest for Glory 1 VGA download back to the site.

Don't forget, like always, to sign in to see the download. Enjoy.

It is the Glory of the Quest

Sat, 24 May 2008 16:14:49 PDT

It's time to go crazy. Why? Because we have added three avatars from Quest For Glory 3 to the site. Go check them out in the Avatars section of the site. Or go to HERE.

What? That's not enough for you? Fine, guess we could also let you download the game as well. Yup, you can now download this game, now located on its game page. Enjoy.

Vivindi Universal and LucasArts leave the ESA

Wed, 21 May 2008 10:10:02 PDT

I was actually watching tv when all of a sudden the news reporters snuck in a report about how LucasArts will not be renewing their membership in the ESA. Then I search the internet for more confirmation of this fact, and find out that not only LucasArts left the ESA, but Vivindi Universal also left a little earlier than LucasArts did.

What does this mean exactly? Will this have any kind of impact to this site, considering most of our content is on old software that are owned by these two companies? To us, this news may be bitter sweet, as it doesn't really effect the direction our site is headed. We will still be an informational hub to these great games, archiving as much information as we can about them. We may have snuck a few game downloads along the way for people that have bothered to sign up to the forums, but all in all, we will continue to slowly add our avatars, our wallpapers, more trivia questions, and maybe even add a few more games while we are at it.

People might take this news the wrong way. Just because these companies have left the ESA, does not mean the companies have changed their views when it comes to abandonware gaming. They have not addressed this topic and therefore we can only assume that they have neither taken a step forward or back on this subject, but it sure does put a smile on my face, at least for a little while anyway.

Cheers, Faeran

An Update Shivers

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 17:12:07 PDT

It's getting warmer as spring spreads it's arms around the northern part of the world. What does this have to do with our site? Absolutely nothing! But you will notice one noticeable difference from our site today that you did not see yesterday.

What is this change you ask? Well the clue is in the update title. Shivers is now available for download. Like always, just make sure you are logged into our forums, or else you may miss the download link.
