While downloading and hosting abandonware is clearly not legal in the US, some people choose to do it anyway. However, there's more to consider than just the legal implications. For one thing, you have to think about security. The lack of regulation makes abandonware a field ripe for abuse.

My Abandonware was created in February 2009 as a revival of oldware.net. Over the years, thousands of games have been added to the site. We want to create the best video game museum on the web and let everyone around the world enjoy the incredible amount of great software created in the 80s and 90s.

We use a secure system to ensure the game files are not downloaded from another website. You have to display the game page first, then click on the download button. If you don't access our site in a fancy way, you should be able to download immediately and at the best speed we can provide.
