"How can I run [any game] on my PC?"
A DOS game needs a DOS emulator. The most popular is DOSbox, which does not come with a graphical user interface.
Personally, I use and I strongly recommend D-Fend Reloaded, a very nice GUI for DOSbox. Download D-Fend Reloaded from the official site.
"What's the meaning of 'abandonware'?"
I'm leaving the answer to those who already tried to define abandonware games and the abandonware phenomenon:
- wikipedia
- mobygames
- computer glossary
- abandonware definition
- whatis.com
"I own the rights of [any game], remove the download from your site!"
Ok, no problem. Just tell me and I'll remove the game. I try not to put online games still sold or supported, but I don't know everything. If I made a mistake, I'll fix it and I offer to link directly to the site of the owner of the rights.
"I'd like to lend a hand, what can I do?"
I prefer to work on Abandonware DOS by myself, but I can think of a couple of things:
- write reviews. As you can see, Abandonware DOS lacks reviews... I really need them
- donate! I'm not selling anything, but I do have server costs. Your money would help paying the hosting bill
"Who created Abandonware DOS?"
Me! All by myself.
I work as a web designer and php programmer and I spend my time between games and web designing (and my girlfriend, yes). I live in northern Italy... my english is not YET very good.
"I can't see Abandonware DOS on my [name a browser]"
I usually test Abandonware DOS on Internet Explorer (7+), Google Chrome and Firefox. Abandonware DOS is not mobile friendly and is not tested on any tablet PC. Feel free to contact me if you see something wrong on Abandonware DOS.
"Care to exchange a link?"
Sure! We can exchange links and/or a small banner. I keep affiliate sites here on the right. The list is visible from the Abandonware Dos homepage and in other pages as well.
If you want to put my banner on your site, please use the html code on this page.
"I think you made a mistake there..."
Prove me I'm wrong, tell me what's right and I'll be ready to correct anything on abandonware DOS. (And please, be patient and forgive me for any error I could make...).
