Law-wise, such a term is not recognized by copyright laws, of what I've been pretty surprised during my law college studies. Even if game was abandoned, it is still IP of the company or mother company. This is way, all the abandonware (or old-old-gen ROM) sites are actually a tricky gray area - because it's up to owner to put banhammer on it.

As far as I remember, the term "orphan work(s)" is more recognized (within the United States at least), but bound with certain limitations.
