To be darksided is to go the darkside of

About
this Site
The goal of ISO
Art - Lost
in
Cyberspace is to provide a compendium of games and
utilities that are no longer for sale. In that spirit, we try to
provide links to where these ISOs can be obtained when legal to do
so. We do not host
any of these
files ourselves, unless they've been officially granted a freeware
license. Our list is for information purposes, and we do not
condone the downloading of files that may be subject to copyright
violations in your country. In fact, we strive to make sure this
site
and the corresponding listing is fully legal with international
copyright laws. Although we appreciate the efforts of abandonware
sites, we have opted only to link to works that are legally
grounded. We have no real connection with the sites
listed here anymore than a meta search engines has such a
connection. If you're concerned about a possible copyright or IP
infringement contact the sites directly, but also let us know about any
violating links so we can remove them immediately. We will assist
you in
anyway we can.
We believe that abandoned software should be
preserved as it was originally
presented or sold, with a complete digital snapshot of what it was,
including
all animations, music, and sound. We seek to make sure this
software does not fall into "unobtainable status."
But unfortunately due to draconian copyright law this is often not
something we can legally pursue.
If you'd like to see our list updated, contact
us with relevant information. Please report any errors, or
unavailable entries as well. Keep in mind, this listing won't
truly expand without your
help.

Please Donate to the Future of ISO Art
As you may be able
to tell, we are passionate about keeping this project going. There's
obviously a lot of room for improvement, and we hope that we will be
able to do so. We can always use your support, whether it's
pointing out an error or uploading a rare ISO. But in order for
this site to improve we unfortunately also need money. As awkward as it
feels to me, recently I decided to accept donations and place
ads. This site is still very small and has always faced
resistence, but I'm counting on user interest to prevail. You may
not be able to donate personally, or have other reasons, but there is
one thing that would really help and it costs nothing. All
you have to do is tell people about this site. I've not promoted
it much at all. So if you can, please tell others about
this site. The more people that are involved - either downloading
or contributing - the better. Growth means more options for
everyone. Wouldn't it be nice to have 500 entries anyone in
the world can access? How about a 1,000? If we grow, we can
do this and more.
Nonetheless - If you like the work we are doing here, and would like us
to continue,
please donate to our cause. Your donation will go strictly
toward
upgrading the site and addressing any costs associated with it.
All
donations will be recognized on the main page. If you don't want
credit
for some reason, or have special instructions, let us know in the
paypal 'optional comments ' or an email. Thank you.

The "final" version of Time Streamer (1.1) is completed.
Time Streamer may remind you of a BBS style door game from the late
80's, early 90's. Playing through the game takes about 1-2 hours.
The game is inspired around the story/myth of John Titor (a time
traveler) who supposedly came to this world timeline to obtain an IBM
5100 for his world timeline in 2036.
Time Streamer features:
- Fully Randomized Combat System with Random Enemy Encounters
- Sound Effects
- RPG style Level Gains (/w new skills each level; 6 skills total, 8
levels total)
- ANSI style color graphics
- Sci-Fi storyline with some humorous undertones
- Selectable Weapons and "Shrines"
- NPCs (you can interact with/talk to)
- Randomized powerup/drop system
- Overall, what I might call a fairly advanced "text-based tactical
engine"
Some Curious Facts:
- Time Streamer is probably the most
elaborate batch scripting game ever made.
- Time Streamer is the first game to ever
use the John Titor story as a basis for a game.

Report: The
under-30 gaming crowd is spoiled
POSTED 2:49
p.m. MCT,
July 26, 2007
Eyeball City, Utopia (AP) --
We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with
high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like
"Space Invaders" and "asteroids" and the graphics sucked! Your guy was a
little square! You actually had to use your imagination! And there were
no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen forever! And you
could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and
faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!

Study: Surgeons who
play video games more skilled
POSTED: 4:03 p.m. EST,
February 19, 2007
CHICAGO, Illinois
(Reuters) -- Playing
video games appears to
help surgeons with skills that truly count: how well they operate using
a precise technique, a study said Monday.
There was a strong
correlation between video game skills and a surgeon's capabilities
performing laparoscopic surgery in the study published in the February
issue of Archives of Surgery.
Laparoscopy and related
surgeries
involve manipulating instruments through a small incision or body
opening where the surgeon's movements are guided by watching a
television screen.
Video game skills
translated into higher
scores on a day-and-half-long surgical skills test, and the correlation
was much higher than the surgeon's length of training or prior
experience in laparoscopic surgery, the study said.
Out of 33
surgeons from Beth Israel Medical Center in New York that participated
in the study, the nine doctors who had at some point played video games
at least three hours per week made 37 percent fewer errors, performed
27 percent faster, and scored 42 percent better in the test of surgical
skills than the 15 surgeons who had never played video games before.
"It
was surprising that past commercial video game play was such a strong
predictor of advanced surgical skills," said Iowa State University
psychology professor Douglas Gentile, one of the study's authors.
It
supports previous research that video games can improve "fine motor
skills, eye-hand coordination, visual attention, depth perception and
computer competency," the study said.
"Video games may be a
practical teaching tool to
help train surgeons," senior author Dr. James Rosser of Beth Israel
said.
While
surgeons may benefit from playing video games, the study did not give
parents a pass if their children play the games for hours on end.
A
2004 survey by Gentile found 94 percent of adolescents play video games
for an average of nine hours a week. Game-playing has been linked to
aggressiveness, poor school grades and can become a substitute for
exercise.
"Parents should not see
this study as beneficial
if
their child is playing video games for over an hour a day," Gentile
said. "Spending that much time playing video games is not going to help
their child's chances of getting into medical school."
