 Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11126 | Of course I don't know about your experiences, but I can hardly imagine you found an easier way to run DOS games than choosing 'run' from a menu and then double click on the game name (as it is with most emulators). If you did, please enlighten me  I really appreciate your effort, the more people try to spread the word about old games, the more places people can get information, the better! It just would have been great to see one or two pictures along with the article. As for someone else doing it, I certainly wouldn't have been the right person for this. As I mentioned in another thread (new members?), the only boxing game I really played for longer than five minutes was this one:  That was fun, but later, I really preferred wrestling games Reading something about a (to me) lesser known genre only makes it more interesting though  ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Guest | Hey, how do you know MY experiences? Well - there weren't others guides as this in existance, to the best of my knowledge. I'm certainly no Ray Robinson with computers, but I wanted to spread the word on ABware gaming, and I encourage people to experiment. Retrospectively, perhaps one of you guys would have been interested in doing the piece? |

Erm.... exactly the opposite is true.

 Member Prof Gumby Posts: 560 | This is all of course true if the rom isn't the latest version of Gran Turismo 3 for PS2... Just saying  ----- "In theory, if people bred as fast as ants, and with an equal indifference for it's surrounding species, earth would have 5 million human inhabitants at the turn of the century. But this, of course, is highly unthinkable" |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11126 | Welcome back Abandonware includes all abandoned software, no matter for which system it was made and no matter by what means you're running it today. So if you include disk images and ROMs, it fits.----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Guest | Hi there, If you have excellent memory, you'll remember a guy who posted as "Flair" about two years ago. That's me. On to my question. I'm putting together a list of the best boxing abandonware games. On this list, I want to include a couple of ROMs. Are ROMs considered abandonware ? I don't see why they shouldn't be, but you never know... |
