What have we here.... updates!

The House of Games added varied docs.
Game Archives has added around 6 THOUSAND new Spectrum games, believe it or not.
I can't find my way around Computer Emuzone, don't know what they added...
C:DOS had a complete redesign some time in the near past and I only saw it now. They already had a great design before this, but this looks great as well. Great work guys! And they've added or updated a lot of classics you should see for yourself (Caesar II, Theme Park, KQ 3 VGA and more).
Abandonia added Montezuma Revenge, a game where you play an explorer like Indiana Jones, only latin american. :)

Now I'm back to playing, guess what, the great classic, my third favorite RPG of all times... WASTELAND.

Yesterday's update really came to you in the morning because slapnuts thought it meant I'd have to do more work. And what do you know, he was right. Plenty of updates today. Read them or die.

Computer Emuzone added a brand spanking new Spectrum game: Moggy. Incredible that people are still putting their Sinclair machines to good use. I had one once, but I didn't like it... I came down on the other side of the home computer wars, being a proud owner of the vastly superior Commodore 64. Speccy sucks!

Abandonia added their smallest ever game, the outstanding Paratrooper. I don't know about the DOS version, but on the VIC-20 version I had it was possible to just shoot the parachutes and watch the men fall. Quality.

Da Fast Lane has a new article up, by our very own slapnuts. Exactly how much does it cost to run an abandonware site and can they turn a profit?

Replacementdocs.com has added the manuals or seventy Atari Lynx games. Remember the Lynx? It was like a Game Boy, only it had a color screen and no good games.

XTC Abandonware brings us an adventure game called The Dark Half which I've never heard of. Apparently it's based on a Stephen King novel, which I suppose is nice if you like that sort of thing.

Abandoneer added Empire Soccer 94 and features Lone Lee making excuses as to why that admin panel isn't finished yet. Personally, I think he's just slacking. Chop chop, laddy-o!

Noodan Free Games added a Breakout clone called Multi Balls 2 and a couple of platformers, Super Stickman Escape and the brilliantly named Spooty Adventures. With a name like that, you can't really go wrong.

Classic Gaming Archive added a bunch of stuff I'm far too lazy to retype. But that just means even more goodies to feast your eyes on.

Abandoned Gamesroom has added King's Quest 6 - with speech! I never really 'got' King's Quest, it just wasn't fun for me. And I'm still not 100% sure if speech in adventure games is a good idea. I thought the voice LucasArts used for Guybrush Threepwood in the Monkey Island games was near perfect, but LeChuck just sounded stupid. Oh, and J-who over at Abandongames updated his game search engine again, adding a bunch more games. I urge everyone with an Abandonware site to go and sign up. He really loves getting extra work to do. Honestly.
