So, do the old DOS games run fine in Windows XP or do you have an old DOS PC around?
Seeing all of those sure bring back memories, thanks for the link.

 

[mancombseepgood]

No prob, AFAIK, some will run in windows, but then there's this:
http://www.dosgames.com/xphints.php
http://www.dosgames.com/essential.php

If its retro games you're after, pay this site a visit.

http://www.the-underdogs.info/

They offer game downloads through bit torrent (legal of course) and also have a vast database of games, linked by genre, date etc.

You'll find some gems in there for sure.

I just resurrected this thread started on my original account cos I'm fascinated that for ages, some of the best retro games were hosted on ftp.jinr.ru which apparently belongs to...

Not getting into details but let's just say there is at least one supreme CVE lurking on that site...

The open FTP site is still running!

They have contributed a lot to modern networking. iproute2 was developed by them. Bastion of knowledge and technical contributions to modern open source software and networking.

Nice, they just can't secure their website.

Am sure it’s one of those old white box pc’s on the corner of the data center nobody what it’s for with “do not power off” written in permanent marker. Most likely a rogue tech who hosted it on the sly. Speaking from experience from a friend.

probably set up as a dare, while knocking back shots,

Anyone wanna risk Novichok - take one for the team and tell us?

Just mind the "Wargames" scenario please.

I had a Spectrum 48k...could never clock Head over Heels. Loved that game. And Manic Miner!

 

[JohnStarr]

What do we need to play these games?

Anyone got a decent Mame emulator and links to games?

 

[WollieVerstege]

Shall we play a game?

As long as its tic tac toe.
