F.A.Q.
"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 [name of a game], remove the files!"
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.
"Who created this site?"
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.
"How can I run [name of a 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.
"Can we 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 an error 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...).
