MobyGames is not an abandonware website -- it's a repository of information
of all sorts on all games. An ambitious project, but I've been with it since
it started and it's coming off amazingly well.
As for the games, they're not considered rare as far as I know; I almost
bought the three of them off eBay for about $30 but got beat by a couple of
USD.
