The Abandonware Ring

We’re happy to announce a new addition to the Abandonware Ring: the “Funded” badge! This isn’t just a shiny icon—it’s a mark that shows which member sites have received a helping hand from The Abandonware Ring’s own community fund.

Why did we start this? Simple: running a classic gaming site can get expensive, and sometimes our members need a little financial boost to keep things going. When we see a member site that needs help, we step in with direct support from our fund. Once a site is backed, they get the “Funded” badge so everyone knows they’ve got a bit of extra love from us.

It’s our way of making sure the best parts of the community stick around and thrive, even when times get tough. If you see that badge, you’ll know that site is getting the support it needs to keep bringing classic games, resources, and nostalgia to everyone.

Thanks for being part of the Ring and for helping keep abandonware alive and well!
