I am integrating proper links to GOG.com's catalog. Basically this means that if they're selling it, it shouldn't be available on the site for download.  If you come across anything that's improperly listed, drop me a note and I'll update the listing.

For those who are curious why this is the new ideal, I believe it's important to support businesses who are providing access and support to these older games. In the past there was no outlet and no way to get ahold of these classics, but with the appearance of GOG.com, and the classic back catalogs on Steam, suddenly companies are realizing that these classics should be remembered and supported. I want to make sure that we support this ideal. So as I've said before, if it's buyable, we won't host the files. If it's been stricken from the minds of men, well, then we'll do what we can to make sure it's not lost forever.

Not only that Lord_Pall, but GOG also tweaks the games to make sure they run on all modern OS's. No longer will the old games crash on the modern systems every 20 minutes! That's a huge plus!!

Ugh. GOG is one thing, but please don't limit game availability based on whether or not Steam offers it. The point of the original Underdogs was to preserve gaming history, not to preserve vendor lock-in.

Agree with ziggz. This supposed to be an abandonware site and should offer ALL abandoned games and should not deny abandonded games to users just because someone who is not the copyright holder is trying to make money off them.
