  Home of the Underdogs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Home of the Underdogs (HOTU) was founded by Sarinee Achavanuntakul in September 1998, and has grown to be one of the largest abandonware sites on the Internet.
The site tends to focus on "underdog" games; that is, games that were not a huge commercial success for whatever reason.
The site claims to be more of a museum than a download site, offering what are now argued to be "great" games that never received due attention upon their initial releases (the "underdogs" referred to in the name).

 Da Fast Lane - Abandonware Site Profile - Home Of The Underdogs
Without a doubt the largest and most comprehensive abandonware site; HOTU, or Home of the Underdogs, is known by literally anyone searching for abandonware.
Underdogs didn't yet take the time to comment the situation on the site, but HOTU is currently accessible and works properly through www.the-underdogs.info.
Home of the Underdogs is well known for massive use of advertising, recently, since the migration to the new.info domain the site has launching 'firefox-proof' popups, they are particularly annoying as upon closing the full screen popup the browser window of the page you are viewing is also forced to close.

 String Can Phone: Home of the Underdogs
But the floppies outlived his disk drive, so to play his old favorites, games like Fire Zone and Oil Barons, Purdes downloaded them from Home of the Underdogs, a download and review community site.
HOTU is pre-eminent in the world of "abandonware," a community of sites dedicated to preserving old and nearly forgotten games.
But what seems to set HOTU apart from its abandonware brethren is its emphasis on games that publishers felt were too unpopular to keep in print, despite having garnered cult-like followings of passionate fans.

 Standards-based redesign of Home of the Underdogs? | Spread Firefox
I recently visited Home of the Underdogs, a site I'm sure many of us are familiar with.
Home of the Underdogs is a non-profit site dedicated to the preservation and promotion of underrated PC games (and a few non-PC games) of all ages: good games that deserve a second chance after dismal sales or critical reviews that we feel are unwarranted.
Now, I'm not going to discuss the legal ramifications of HOTU providing old and abandoned games for download - they address this issue quite comprehensively, and respect the wishes of companies if contacted to remove a game from their download section.

By day, 28-year-old Sarinee Achavanuntakul is an investment banker in Hong Kong, but by night, she runs the infamous Home of the Underdogs, a Web site she founded three and a half years ago, and receives an average of more than 30,000 unique visitors per day.
According to Achavanuntakul, the purpose of starting Home of the Underdogs was simple: to preserve out-of-print games that publishers no longer support, to keep them from falling into oblivion, and to honor other underrated games, including freeware games and recent commercial titles that might have been poor sellers.
There are more than 2,600 games available at Home of the Underdogs, most of which are abandonware titles, although the site also carries hundreds of freeware or former commercial titles that have been made freeware (such as Sierra's Betrayal at Krondor and Caesar).

 The Underdogs - Free Music Downloads, Videos, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links
Buoyed by the success of "Man in the Glass" despite the lyrics controversy, Hideout issued a sampler LP late in 1965 that featured both sides of the Underdogs' single plus two new cuts: "Surprise, Surprise" (a remake of the Rolling Stones' record) and "Get Down on Your Knees" written by Bob Seger, Whitehouse, and Leone.
Seger wrote "East Side Story" for the Underdogs, but reportedly their version didn't have it, so Seger cut it himself.
They had one single release on the VIP label, a tough-as-nails makeover of Holland-Dozier-Holland's "Love's Gone Bad" originally done by blue-eyed soul-singing Chris Clark; the Underdogs are reportedly the first white band signed by Motown, but that's debatable, with "band" being the key word.

 The FreeSpace Oracle
The Home of the Underdogs (or HotU as it is known in FreeSpace circles) is one of the biggest abandonware sites on the net.
Technically abandonware is illegal but since no one has made any attempts to close HotU down even though it is very well known it basically is assumed that no one in the companies involved cares much about it because the games are so old.
Unlike the demo the HotU version registers as a full install as far as mods and user made campaigns are concerned.

After wrapping up the division title Dec. 18, the Bengals were upset, 37-27, at home by the lowly Buffalo Bills, costing them a chance at a first-round bye.
The Bengals, whose 11-5 record is identical to the Steelers, are the only home underdog in the four first-round matchups.
Still, they avenged a home loss this season by beating the Steelers in the Dec. 4 rematch at Heinz Field, walking away with a 38-31 win that catapulted them to the division title.

Home of the Underdogs has been a fantastic site for abandonware for, I dunno, at least six years - probably longer.
Again, option (a) will end the matter immediately, because HotU will accede to the request, and the case will be moot.
Yes, but none of this actually "legalizes" the Underdogs' actions, which was my point.

Much of HOTU's appeal comes from the fact that it gives gamers a way to find the games they long ago used to play and love.

"In fact, I have come to partially see HOTU not so much as a game museum or an abandonware site, but as an information hub where all these unheard-of, small-scale projects can be found.
