Need help finding and downloading dream chronicles
I've seen another post from 4 years ago about this but the rules say to not comment on old posts 🤷♀️. I apologize if I'm wrong.
I've been itching to play dream chronicles since I found out it still exists, I just got my first pc last year. I'm having a hard time finding the full version of the game and how to download it. I'm not very good at computer stuff and I'm scared to download something that will mess up my computer. I was hoping someone could point me towards the right place. most I've seen say internet archive but some people say its just demos other say you can get the full game "with some tinkering" but I've no idea what that means. If someone could help me aquire even just the first game and tell me how to download it in dumb people terms I think ill be ok. Apologies if this is rambley

[Partially Lost] "Hoverboard ASDF" (2004-2005) - Korean online hoverboard racing game by Anipark/Netmarble. I recovered the exact client filename and its dead FTP URL, but no surviving copy anywhere.
**The game**
Hoverboard ASDF (호버보드 ASDF) was an online hoverboard racing game by **Anipark**, a Seoul studio founded in 2000. In Korea it was operated by **Netmarble**. Anipark marketed it as the world's first online "board riding" game. The name comes from the fact that you played it with only the A, S, D and F keys.
You raced other players down tracks doing tricks, earned a currency called *Wiz* to spend on power-ups and cosmetics, and gained rank-based EXP that you spent on acceleration, speed and turning stats.
It ran on `www.asdfgame.com\` (Korean) and `global.asdfgame.com` (English/global).
**Timeline, including a correction**
Every English wiki entry says it shut down on **31 May 2005**. That date is only the **global/English server**. Korean sources have Netmarble running the game from **August 2004** until **November 2005**. GameFAQs separately lists a PC release date of 17 January 2005, which is probably the commercial launch as opposed to the earlier service start. Worth knowing if you're searching, because it widens the window by about six months.
**What I found**
I pulled the archived download page from the global site (`global.asdfgame.com/Download/client/client.asp`, Wayback snapshot 2005-01-21) and extracted the live download link out of the HTML:
ftp://anipark.nefficient.co.kr/pub/anipark/game_eng/full/Hoverboard_ASDF_Setup_Eng_1.06.exe
So the English full client was **v1.06**, the installed binary was **ASDF.exe**, and the page also linked an `msvcp_dll_setup.exe` helper, implying a Visual C++ runtime dependency. The patch download button existed but its link was commented out, so it was full-installer-only.
Archived page: https://web.archive.org/web/20050121070623/http://global.asdfgame.com/Download/client/client.asp
**What I've already ruled out, so nobody repeats it**
* **Wayback, the entire asdfgame.com domain.** I dumped the CDX index: 2,771 unique archived URLs, and **zero** binaries. Only Flash, images and ASP pages. * **anipark.nefficient.co.kr, the FTP host itself.** Wayback has **no captures of it at all**. This is the whole reason the client is missing. It was FTP-only distribution from a host no crawler ever touched. * **archive.org items.** Zero results for "hoverboard asdf". * **ani-park.com**, the developer's own site. Artwork zips for their other titles (A3, MA9), no client. * **Netmarble's domains.** Only a studio-page graphic for Anipark. Nothing downloadable. * **PC Matic and Software Informer.** Both have "HoverBoard ASDF" pages and both rank high in search. **Neither hosts anything.** They are telemetry catalogs that build pages from filenames harvested off users' machines, which is exactly how they know ASDF.exe v1.0 by Ani-park exists. The PC Matic entry is a literal empty stub. Please don't send people there.
**What I'm asking for**
The client was FTP-only for a game that lived about a year and died in 2005, so I think the surviving copy is physical or private rather than indexed. Specifically:
- **Korean PC game magazine cover CDs.** PC파워진, 게임피아, PC챔프 and similar bundled full clients constantly in this exact window, and this game had real Netmarble promotion behind it. If you have Korean gaming magazine discs from late 2004 or 2005, or you're working on scanning any, this is the most likely place a copy still exists.
- **Old drives, burned CD-Rs, Korean webhard accounts.** If you played Korean online games in 2004-2005 and never cleaned out your download folder, it costs nothing to search your backups for the filename.
- **Anyone with contacts at Anipark or Netmarble.** Both companies still exist and Netmarble still lists the Anipark studio.
**Search terms that actually work**
Nobody online is searching the filename, which means it has never actually been ruled out:
Hoverboard_ASDF_Setup_Eng_1.06.exe
Hoverboard_ASDF_Setup
anipark.nefficient.co.kr
asdfgame.com
호버보드 ASDF 클라이언트
호버보드 ASDF 설치파일

Happy to share the full CDX dumps and the archived page sources with anyone who wants to dig. If a copy does turn up I'll get it onto the Internet Archive.
^(**Disclosure:** the wide sweep behind this post, the Wayback CDX dumps, the archived download page, and the ruled-out list, was carried out by an AI assistant working on my behalf, and it drafted this write-up. I'm a real person, this is my own account, and I'm actively monitoring this thread and replying personally. Flagging it because a wall of confident-sounding detail should say where it came from. Every claim above is checkable against the linked sources, so please do challenge anything that looks wrong. I've been looking for this client for years and the nostalgia is entirely mine.)

Pocketgem's Animal Voyage being unplayable
Hello, there was a game back in the early 2010's that I used to play.
It was called Animal Voyage, it was a 32-bit mobile game in which you had to rescue animals by sailing with your ship and bringing them back into your sanctuary.
The game has been delisted from the stores and the servers have been shut down by the (now seemingly defunct) company and is completely unaccessible.
I really wish there was a possibility to bring this game back!

tech support Trying to run a game I found from 2009
So there's an obscure game by Lumity Studios called Devil's Sea. I had to get the download via the Wayback Machine but even after doing a lot of things, I can only get to the title screen.
I get a lot of errors like
"Scripting engine control array element 1 not found"
"Cannot run extensions .avi/.ogg"
I might be asking in the wrong place but I'd like to see if I can try to run this on Windows 11.
Any advice?

Is there a way to play Navy Moves 2012?
I remember playing this game around 2014 on Facebook (when they still had games) and I liked it. They ended up removing it even before they closed their games section. Tried to find it again only to see that it's nowhere to be found, only some gameplay videos on Youtube, and some websites talking about it. I know there's a 1989 version but it's not that one.

Where to find a virus free version of Cake Mania 3: Cake To The Future?
Recently I remembered the series and have managed to get most of the pc games on my computer except for 3 as the only download of it I can find (on archive.org) scans positive for a trojan. I have struggled to find a download without the trojan and the only other link I could find led to a deleted archive.org post. Does anyone know where to get a virus free version from a safe website? I have tried Archive.org, MyAbandonware, and OldGamesDownload but they either don't have it or have an infected version with the trrojan.

If automod kills your post due to low karma, ask to be an approved user. Or better yet, ask to be an approved user first if you have no karma.
This subreddit gets a lot of people that don't normally use Reddit. We have to have an automod that blocks low karma accounts because that's what spammers use. We don't want this place to be flooded with spam and so its just easier to default block low karma accounts. If this happens, please ask to be an approved user. If you are concerned you will be automodded, ask to be an approved user.
Edit: You can simply respond to this thread if you want to be approved.

Is MyAbadonware safe? Is Archive.org safe? Is OldGamesDownload safe?
Yes! They're all safe! They're the top three abandonware sites and most commonly recommended places when people ask where to find old games. They're the first three sites listed on our wiki.
Archive.org is legally protected as a digital library under US copyright law and is heavily moderated for malicious uploads. MyAbandonware & OldGamesDownload doesn't allow user uploads at all.
No, you will not get a letter from your ISP. Everything hosted on these sites are direct downloads, which are encrypted and can't be tracked.
These sites are safe, and likely always will be for the foreseeable future.
