Classic Games
Old Games Deserve
a Second Life.
Some of the best games ever made aren't on any storefront. Publishers have moved on, servers are down, and disc copies cost a fortune on eBay. These sites exist to preserve them. They're not replacements for games you can still buy — they're archives for games you literally can't.
My Abandonware
FreeThe biggest abandonware library on the internet. Thousands of DOS, Windows, Amiga, and old console games that are no longer sold anywhere. Clean interface, fast downloads. If the game is old enough, it's probably here.
Internet Archive — Software Library
ArchiveThe non-profit digital preservation project. Beyond games it archives everything — but the software and games section runs MS-DOS titles directly in the browser with no download. Incredible for quick nostalgia hits. Scarface: The World Is Yours is in there.
Old Games Download
FreeStraightforward archive of abandonware games with direct downloads. Good backup source when My Abandonware doesn't have something. Organized by platform and genre, no account needed.
Vimm's Lair
ArchiveConsole ROM archive. N64, PS1, PS2, GameCube, Wii — essentially every classic console covered. One of the oldest and most respected preservation sites. If you want to play Ocarina of Time or the original Scarface on an emulator, start here.
GOG.com
Paid · DRM-FreeNot abandonware — but GOG sells classic games DRM-free, patched to run on modern hardware. If a game you want is here, buy it. They do the hard work of making old games work on current systems so you don't have to. Worth checking before hunting for a free version.
Community Mods
Mods Worth Your Time.
The modding community has extended the life of games that would've been forgotten years ago. These are the mods I've either used, tracked, or found genuinely impressive. More get added as I find them.

Preservation Landmark
The Zelda 64 Decompilation Project.
A community of developers reverse-engineered the N64 versions of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask — turning the original compiled game code back into readable, portable C source code without using any of Nintendo's tools.
This means the games can now be compiled and run natively on modern hardware, ported to other platforms, and modified at a code level rather than just patching ROM bytes. It's one of the most technically impressive preservation achievements in gaming history — and it was done entirely by volunteers.
The practical results are already here: PC ports, HD texture packs that respect the original art, and mods that would have been impossible with the original ROM format. This is what game preservation should look like.
- Native PC port — runs without emulation
- Widescreen, 60fps, high resolution
- Deep modding — texture, model, code level
- Ports to Switch, Android, Wii U
- Long-term preservation, no emulator needed
