    I'm currently playing X-Com: UFO defense. Such an amazing old game...

    I was on Digg tonight, and I saw a link about some more old DOS games and Llayable Demos. Because this was so well recieved last time, I thought I might revive this thread.

    DOS Games Archive has 234 gmaes available.
    Abandonia has a whole bunch of DOS games and other abandonware.

    Obviously there's going to be some overlap with lists this long, but I think there's a fair amount of stuff that wasn't covered before. Enjoy.

    I really didn't have a PC until around the mid-90's. We used a Commodore 64 up until then. It worked out, though, because C64 games were light years ahead of their time.

    Ah, Commodore. How I remember thee. My elementary school had a couple of VIC-20s that I always enjoyed messing with.

    For some reason that school never understood the notion of uniformity in with computers. Our computer lab had an assortment of Apple ][e, VIC-20, and even one old Texas Instruments TI-90A. When we had time in the computer lab the teacher couldn't instruct us because all the kids were on different computers.

    I grew up on C64 games too. My little brother learned to spell before he went to kindergarten because he wanted to be able to play games without having to get someone to help him. He was really good at spelling 'save' and 'load'. I finally got a C64 emulator last year and found all my favourite childhood games again, like Wizard, Space Taxi, Impossible Mission, and Blueprint.
