I opened the link from the mobile, and when I pressed PLAY NOW, some scam links opened and initiated Apple Pay payment on my phone.
I'm pretty sure this is not what you intended but still it does what it does.
Could someone shed some light on what's the legality of publishing emulated abandonware? I remember not too long ago Half-Life 2's web port got posted, is that still online?
Unless they've gotten a license to do it, it's a crystal clear copyright violation, generally done under the assumption/hope that an entity that has abandoned selling the game has also abandoned caring about enforcing its copyrights against such projects.
It's not legal. And in any case it's not abandonware, they're still actively selling these games (maybe not these exact versions, but I doubt a court would see that as a distinction with a difference).
At one point during it's usage, words just stop accurately describing what it is, and starts communicating a vibe or something instead. Just like "DOS Games", "MIDI" which is just data in reality, but people started associating it with chiptune, so somehow some people now mix the terms and call chiptune "Midi Music", yet chiptune have nothing to do with MIDI the protocol/.mid the fileformat.
In technical contexts it's often still important to use words accurately so in that sense it might not lose it's original meaning completely. I've come to accept that everyday language can be messy and inaccurate and one can't always get it right especially if they're not familiar enough with the topic. You can still get the meaning across well-enough.
Absolutely fucking amazing, thank you. This tapped into the memory of how I remembered playing GTA III in terms of visuals. Thank you so much, I love this game and the person who made this happen!!
The site should call them PC games.
Okay Boomer...
