Phenominal. All the great games, and even the bad ones. You can download all the games that have become abandon-, free-, or shareware. They have alot of resources for getting DOS games to run on Win XP. Nostalgia abound: the Wing Commander series, Dungeon Master, Scorched Earth, The Castle of Dr. Brain, and Atari games aplenty.

Do they have any good ol' dungeon crawl text only (or 2D mapped and text) computer games? You know "you enter a room 10x10, a crazed dwarf pokes his head out from behind a boulder and tosses an axe at you" kinda thing.
One game thats really cool if you never played it is Star Flight (Circa 1986-87) 20 years ago anyhow. I haven't checked to see if they have it, but IMO it was never rivalled. 20years,makes one feel old.

There's the classic, NetHack, which is distributed freely and still maintained, as well as the Zork games, which I'm sure you've played. I'm sure if you put the game name in their search it will be found. They also have category filters to find only what you are looking for. Also, try www.abandonia.com/index2.phpAnd for games exlusively made before 1990: www.xtcabandonware.com/ However, I just checked that link and it seems to be dead, so the site might be having problems or gone forever. |

Axe, I found a downloadable copy of Star Flight and its sequel. The site I linked above, www.xtcabandonware.com/, is working again. Search for Star Flight in the top right hand corner, or go to the RPG section, page 3. You will need an old computer or a Dos emulator to run it. The best emulator Ive used is DosBox, which can be easily googled. If you have any problems getting the game to emulate, let me know as I've been using DosBox for quite a while. EDIT: They also have a copy of the original NES Legend of Zelda for download.   ;D |
