[[Image(Screenshots:abuse.png, align=right)]] = Welcome = Abuse is a dark 2D side-scrolling platform game developed by Crack dot Com in 1995. It features beautiful lighting, realistic animation and nasty alien-like creatures to destroy. 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, with optional OpenGL rendering * 64-bit platforms support * lots of crashes, memory leaks and general bugs fixed = Development = Development takes place in a Subversion repository. You can [/browser/abuse/trunk browse it online] or check it out using `svn`: {{{ svn co svn://svn.zoy.org/abuse/abuse/trunk abuse-trunk }}} You can [/newticket report new bugs] or [/report/1 browse current bugs].
