Old school gaming!

Papercut · 9th Sep 2005, 11:44 PM

Today I found out about a DOS emulator which allowed me to run one of my favourite games of all time, OMF 2097, in WinXP!

Link: http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1
And I just found this site which has loads of old games that you can download: http://www.dosgames.com/
Hahaha I'm gonna go nuts this weekend! They've got all the games I used to play as a kid, like Heretic and Wolf 3D...probably tons more that I can't remember right now. w00t!

Thanks, PaperCut!!! This is awesome. I'll check the links as soon as I get home from work!!!

GREAT SITE indeed, Papercut! Thanks!

The only downside is that most of the games there are either demo or shareware versions...

But nevermind...just looking at those titles makes me almost 15 years younger (like going back to the past with some ultra-mega-time-machine)...

Papercut · 11th Sep 2005, 09:29 PM

Are they? Oh...

I'm guessing that for some/most of the games you would be able to source the full versions from other places...

Yes but who cares...there are also many free online games...like Sonic the Hedgehog and others...love them...great site indeed...thanks again Papercut...
