Abandonians: archivists by another name
I talked to Rafael Lopes Vivian, the site runner for an abandonware webring, about his long-standing interest in retro-software. He doesn’t condone pirating things that can be bought conventionally. If he can buy it instead, he will, though he’s quick to point out that not everyone in the community shares that view.
“When GOG appeared, abandonware was starting to finally get what it wanted: To have normal commercially supported access to classic games. Imagine the faces on us old-timers seeing games like Fallout, Baldur’s Gate, Leisure Suit Larry and more on sale for $9.99. Most of the best abandonware sites had what they asked for,” he told me.
“Pretty much every game from 2000 and on is still playable somehow. If anyone calls Wasteland (1988) abandonware now, he’s trying to justify his will to not pay for a readily available product,” Vivian said. He’s invested in abandonware because so many programs have been left to dissipate in digital purgatory.
“There are still games out there that need to be played and people still can’t access them,” he said. This determination to make sure these games are still out there is driving force behind the movement, the reason people on Reddit call themselves “abandonians” and swap discarded games.
Baptiste Placé, who runs MyAbandonware.com, has a similar archival drive. “Keeping old games as a museum of computer games is a great goal,” he told me. He focuses on the 80s and 90s—Oregon Trail and Mario Teaches Typing are two of the most popular options on his website.
