It's got captures of websites too, including Onkel Neal's finest.

All links clickable and working, at least within the site!

It made it into Washington Post today as well, so if it's "clean" enough for them, it's certainly legit for Subsim posting!

I've been a supporter of Archive for the better part of a decade. There is a lot of fantastic stuff to be found there - from old radio archives to uploads of artist-sanctioned bootlegs of concerts to, of course, the wayback machine. The games collection is just another great addition to what's already one of the finest sites on the internet

Daaang, them's olde tymes....

Good find, Sky.

Abandonware rules here were modified a few years ago,

...mainly we want to be sure someone doesn't start claiming Game X is abandonware a year after release, while it is still commercially available.

haha, how sweet. I have "tried" to play this game so many times!!!! This is were my u Boat/ submarine gaming started

I remember a mission in norway, were you had to go into a fjord and pass a bridge with two bunkers on it and an underwater mine field. At the end of the fjord there was some big bunker. I never knew what the purpose was of this mission.

Will try it tonight :P
