My Abandonware
A large database of abandonware, games from the 80s and 90s for DOS, Windows, Amiga, and consoles, with downloads alongside the catalogue entries. There is no API; you search and browse on the site itself via the link provided. A practical stop when you need to identify or obtain an old game that is no longer sold.
No programmatic check, opens the archive’s own search.
Why it’s useful & how it works
My Abandonware focuses on games that are no longer commercially available, covering DOS, Windows, Amiga, Commodore 64, and console platforms from the 1980s and 1990s. Each entry combines catalogue metadata, platform details, and screenshots with actual downloads, making it both a reference and a retrieval tool. It is the practical first stop when you want to identify or obtain an old game that has effectively been abandoned by its publisher. Echo links you to My Abandonware so you can search and download there directly; there is no separate API.
What’s inside
Approximately 37,500 abandonware games across DOS, Windows, Amiga, Commodore 64, and various consoles, focused on titles from roughly 1978 through the late 1990s.
