Games (listed by fate)
This page lists the games in the archive based on the current fate of them.
When determining the fate of a game, the following classifications are used:
Abandonware
Games which have been abandoned by the original developer. While still copyrighted, there
Theseus’d
Games which are still being actively developed, but have morphed to be more or less unrecognisable from what the game used to be during its early days. The entries for such games usually describe the game as it was back then, and usually a coarse cut-off date is determined for when things changed.
Finished
Games which are finished and is likely not seeing any further development, but is still being kept available by the developer in some form, potentially with fixes for newer devices but not much beyond that.
Active
Games which are still being actively developed.
