I was looking for the old AD&D game Dungeon Hack and places I could find it. What Google provided me with, was *snip link*. It is apparently, despite certain claims in the url, a pay site. My first instinct says that this is a safe site to use. However, I tend to err on the side of caution and decided to see if anyone around here might have some idea about it.

I have determined that this site is probably not legal in the strictest sense.

Contrary to popular belief/opinion, "abandonware" is almost always still protected by copyright, and therefore it's illegal to download it. The Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abandonware) seems to cover it well enough.

Heheh... "Wiipedia." It took me a while to realise that was a spelling error:smallsigh:

Anyways... yeah. The site's probably illegal. Link snipped from original post.
