Archive.org's MS-DOS Games Library - Over 2,500 Games
« on: January 18, 2016, 09:31 PM »
I just discovered this a few days ago. The Internet Archive (Archive.org) has over 2,500 MS-DOS games, which can all be downloaded or played in your browser, for free. :Thmbsup:

Pretty much every DOS game I can remember playing as a child is there, only this time they're full versions instead of the shareware demos. :)

Combined with Archive.org's Internet Arcade (a collection of MAME/Arcade games) and the Console Living Room, you should be able to keep yourself occupied for quite some time.
