#*Basically, they could take these screenshots themselves and upload them to the website, especially since they have copies of these games, and using emulators and sometimes even the operating system themselves, they could run these games and simply photograph them using Bandicam or Fraps.

#The server is terrible because, first of all, it breaks down very often and the website itself undergoes technical breaks, sometimes it happens that even for a couple of times, at least once a month, this website has a technical break. The problem, however, is not only this, because sometimes it happens that the game that they recently uploaded may also be unavailable due to technical problems and the "not found" error pops up, also when you try to download more than one game, these will take a long time to download, and most often even the download freezes and fails due to a network error.

#*The browser sometimes is also broken because if you write sth for the first time, even if you write the title properly, it will show 0 results and only in second time it will show, this mostly includes when you're asking for another game in the search menu.

#It is remarkable that they very rarely add a well-known game to their site, and mainly focus on long-forgotten games that were sometimes only available in one country, sometimes even some niche free productions, which makes the site sometimes look poor despite the fact that that this is the most famous abandonware site and there is no shortage of people who know games from those years.

#This site offers the possibility to create an account, which is completely useless because literally all activities that can usually only be done after creating an account, such as adding comments, rating games, or adding to favorites, can be done without creating an account, which makes this feature pointless at all.
