Welcome

This is the new home to Abuse and Abuse-SDL. I took over maintenance of that game to prevent it from vanishing from the Internet.

Since Abuse's public domain release in 1997, the following improvements were made:

• video output uses the SDL library
• lots of memory leaks fixed
• 64-bit platforms support

Development

Development takes place in a Subversion repository. You can browse it online or check it out using svn:

 svn co svn://svn.zoy.org/abuse/abuse/trunk abuse-trunk

You can report new bugs or browse current bugs.

Downloads

The latest official version is 0.7.0:

• abuse-sdl-0.7.0.tar.gz (Dec 15th 2002)

Two sets of free level files are available. abuse-lib is the original shareware version of the game, released into the public domain. abuse-frabs is the result of a community effort to create free Abuse levels:

• abuse-lib-2.00.tar.gz (February 2nd, 1996)
• abuse-frabs-2.10.tar.gz (April 4th, 2001)

A full registered game dataset is also available. Its licensing terms are unclear, but Jonathan Clark and Dave Taylor, the original Abuse authors, allowed it to be freely redistributed for Abuse-SDL:

• abuse-data-2.00.tar.gz (February 2nd, 1996)
