Fire On The Lifeboat reveals THE site for those sick-days.

Having caught some awful virus which has rendered me unable to speak, eat or sleep without a great deal of discomfort, I shall make this brief. Coming to my rescue today, as it has many times in the past, is Abandonia.

Listing literally hundreds of abandoware games (computer software which is no longer being sold or supported by its copyright holder), the site offers free downloads for nearly almost all of them. If retro and 8-bit is your thing or you owned a computer in the eighties, this will be the best thing you've ever found on the web.

Disclaimer: While this site may be the perfect cure for boredom, illness and bitmap nostalgia, Fire on the Lifeboat cannot be held responsible for job-loss or relationship-breakdown as a result of rediscovering Dune, Final Fantasy, Elite, Dizzy or Ultima.
