A lot of games that once used to be Abandonware are now... not. Thanks to digital distribution there is now zero cost to selling these titles on Steam, GOG, or elsewhere. The definition of abandonware has shrunk over time.
In any case, I'm a bit allergic to "abandonware" being sold on Steam. These titles are sold as if they've been tested and work on modern machines/OSes, but more often than not there are crippling issues. This is something that has actually tainted my opinion of Valve - that they would continue to list and sell these items without any disclaimer, warning, or anything.
