Home of the Underdogs is one of the most amazing websites around. It’s what’s called an “Abandonware” site, dedicated to computer software (particularly games) which is now out of print. Of course, LOTS of computer games are out of print, since they’re only state-of-the-art for about a year.
The site features hundreds and hundreds of games, in every genre and from every era, and any game that’s out of print is downloadable. You can, for example, play Beaurocracy, an Infocom text adventure game from 1987 written by Douglas Adams, author of The Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Or the original Bubble Bobble. I remember playing Loom for hours on my best friend’s dad’s Amiga… and I can’t even tell you how many hours I spent creating plays in Front Page Sports Football Pro. You can even get old Voyager CD Roms, like this one about Steven J. Gould.
