Binaries

Mac OS X downloads courtesy of Julian Mayer:

• abuse-macosx-0.7.1.zip (March 9th, 2008)
• abuse-frabs-macosx-0.7.1.zip (March 9th, 2008)

For Linux binaries, I recommend using the packages shipped by your distribution.

Source

The latest official version is 0.7.1:

• abuse-0.7.1.tar.gz (March 2nd, 2008)

Levels and other data

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-2.11.tar.gz (March 2nd, 2008)

The sound effects were not put into the public domain. Bobby Prince, the current copyright holder, still agreed to their redistribution:

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

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)

Golgotha

Golgotha was a Crack dot Com game project that was cancelled when the company went bankrupt. It was released into the public domain, together with music, sound effects and textures. I am making them available here because they contain interesting material that is very hard to find nowadays:

• golgotha-src.tar.gz
• golgotha-sfx.tar.gz
• golgotha-music.tar.gz
• golgotha-textures.tar.gz
