Peter Heinemann Posted February 11, 2002 "Doom 2D" This seems to be a very nice Doom themed and fan-made sidescroller. 19 level, has multiplayer mode and is freeware. The file is 2.5 MB Original homepage is here: http://www.doom-2d.prv.pl/ The server is in Poland and page sometimes refused to load for me. Hmm. Anyway, sweet looking graphics! Hey, has this work been done by one of us (forum member)? ----------- Die, Bonzi Buddy, Die! 0 Share this post Link to post

The problem is people posting "abandonware" sites which mistake things like Doom and Heretic for abandonware and put them up for download. 0 Share this post Link to post

I think they have a pretty strict policy about what is and isn't abandonware. 0 Share this post Link to post

elbryan42 Posted February 11, 2002 As long as it's still copyrighted, it's illegal to pirate it. Even if the company goes out of business, the copyright still stands for another 50 years. So abandonware is illegal. 0 Share this post Link to post

Night-Fang Posted February 11, 2002 Bwhaha! You tell em! They *really* dont care (nobody does). Its another excuse to pull up your ban (2nds please) or, at least play the mental scare on you so you agree with them. 0 Share this post Link to post

No, not really; it's actually a telefragged policy that the admins have to abide by (or ling will get fired). However I'm not sure whether it concerns abandonware. And even if it does, underdogs is quite innocent. 0 Share this post Link to post

Zaldron Posted February 11, 2002 Fah, Underdogs is a valid link IMO. The games available for download are either freeware or true abandonwarez. The ones that can be bought don't have download URLs, but links to Online Shops. 0 Share this post Link to post
