You're probably thinking about GOG, most notably mentioned in this video:

 

But I feel like these pages also deserve a mention:

It was probably GOG, but they doesnt have the pink panther =(. About the abandonware, my main concern is the risk of viruses (when I was a kid abandonware alrready existed and sometimes kiked the antivirus)

You are probably confusing some terms. Abandonware means software that has been abandoned by developer. Meaning that they aren't interested of possible copyright violations sharing full content might cause.

 

The terms from late-90s and early-00s are shareware and freeware. First meaning usually demo or trial of some game/software intended to be shared by trading floppies. Second is pretty much same as current day free software where all of the content is free to use from start.
