Old DOS games, free!

July 30th, 2008 by Chuck Sharp

Do you remember old DOS video games? Commander Keen, Ultima, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, One Must Fall 2097, The Oregan Trail. The memories… These were so much fun. Well, a lot of old games were abandoned and released to the public. You can find, download, and enjoy all those old titles and more (legally!) here: Abondonia. Seriously, check it out. There are a ton of games there.

Now, old DOS games never play quite right in Windows, which is why some folks wrote Dosbox as a free semi-virtual machine just for DOS. Install it and play your games in it. Works perfectly.

Just don’t blame me for lost hours…
