| | Home of the Underdogs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The site tends to focus on "underdog" games; that is, games that were not a huge commercial success for whatever reason. | | | Also, the site attempts to be reasonable about copyright issues; if a game available for download becomes once more available for purchase, or if a game's copyright holder so requests, they remove the downloadable files, replacing them with a link to the site selling the game if applicable. | | | Real Dog refers to those games that failed for a good reason, usually poor gameplay, but that were requested to be included on the site by some fans, or fans of related games. |

| | There are over 1450 PC games on the Home of the Underdogs. | | | Then there is a links section with links to game venders / online stores, other abandonware sites, game help/info sites, game review sites, and even non-PC gaming sites. | | | This site has been around since I "discovered" abandonware and will always be here since his "To Do list is always 300+ games long, for some reason." HOTU will always keep you interested and is worth the daily visit. |

| | Wired News: Nostalgia Keeps Games Afloat |
| | 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. | | | HOTU's archives include more than 4,000 games going back to 1979, from countless publishers -- some alive, but most dead. | | | 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. |

| | Gonzaga has edge at home / Broncos underdogs despite being seeded No. 1 |
| | Last season, the Bulldogs were the best team in the West Coast Conference, going through conference play with a 14-0 mark, their 28 overall wins setting a school record. | | | "Obviously, everybody plays better at home to some degree,'' said Graves, whose team did not lose a conference game at home this season. | | | There is almost certainly only one NCAA bid up for grabs in the WCC women's tournament, which opens Thursday at Gonzaga's McCarthy Athletic Center in Spokane. |

| | 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). | | | In other cases, game companies have also e-mailed the site to ask that their games be removed, as they are still sold somewhere else online. |
