SITES TO FIND SHIT, CHECK HERE BEFORE ASKING
Gitgud archive and Volafile are as good as dead and as such have been pruned entirely, don't rely on them for anything.
https://vimm.net - Accessible archive of retro console games.
https://gog-games.to - Downloads of GOG's titles. Owner throws tantrums a lot so the site occasionally goes down.
https://archive.org - Internet Archive, you would be very surprised how much is here if you go looking.
https://www.myabandonware.com - Mostly retro PC games, often obscure and "abandoned" titles.
The following are cracking/repacking sites. If there's a major release, it'll probably show up on one of these.

Guide to a Happy Share Thread
>Requesters
1. Before requesting, search online and even use distributed search engines (e.g. InfraSearch, Opencola, YaCy, FAROO).
2. Look in linked sites at the top of the OP
3. Be as specific as possible. A title, release year and cover art will help.
4. Some links might purposely be misleading by having spaces, lines, keys & passwords split in the post. This includes torrent hashes.
a. If you see a string of characters (e.g. c12fe1c06bba254a9dc9f519b335aa7c1367a88a) with or without dashes, it is a magnet link.
b. If your bittorrent is shit, prepend magnet:?xt=urn:btih: to the string.
c. Find and Replace (sed/tr/awk) is your friend.
>Uploaders[Expand Post]
1. Try to make sure whatever you post isn't infected with 15 different Russian crypto miners.
2. Please make sure your files actually work.
3. If your link is password protected, PLEASE provide it. This isn't Cicada 3301, nobody wants to play riddles.
4. If there are any special provisions in playing a game, such as requiring SmartSteamEmu or a cracked executable, don't assume everybody knows that and provide clear instructions.
5. Try to avoid uploading to sites that require an account or throttle download speed.
a. ESPECIALLY not websites that make you jump through hoops to setup an account. Again, nobody likes riddles.
b. Websites that limit you to one download at a time or every X number of hours should also be avoided.
6. No "Oh, you can find that on SLSK" or "This private tracker has the upload!". Don't defer to private communities and don't just tell somebody where the files are, actually share them!
Most importantly, DO WHAT YOU WANT BECAUSE A PIRATE IS FREE.
