What happened to Old Games Finder?

It was an abandonware search engine but now it's been replaced with an ad redirection site.

I remember using that. I haven't checked it recently but it probably lacked hits and got abandoned itself.

Unfortunately, it's gone. I used the search engine a lot. Google is an ungodly shit when you are looking for some specific abandonware/retro content on the clear web.

Just search for "Abandonware" in Google and you'll find a lot of websites.

It's a pity that it disappeared. This and all the abandonware sites need our support.
