And if you want to play Zork 1, 2 or 3 the odds are even better! (since they're free to download).
Abandonware will probably never be legal, but it works OK now. If developer/publisher says they don't support it, their games won't be available for download anymore. Of course, it would be nice that, when they move their games from abandonware sites, they provide links to online shops where you can actually buy the game (which often isn't the case). Browsing e-bay is not my preffered choice of acquiring games.
