Play old games online

It's great to be able to download old DOS games and manage to run them on an emulator. It's not an easy task for people who don't know much about computers. And if you want to run a game developed for an old Windows system the task is even more difficult (virtual machines, different Windows versions, etc.).

On Abandonware DOS you can play some of these old DOS games directly in your browser and forget about the hassle of setting up an emulator on your computer. This is a list of the most played DOS games on Abandonware DOS this month.

Abandonware DOS uses Emularity, what is it?

Emularity is a JavaScript loader framework designed to run emulators directly in the browser. It doesn’t emulate anything by itself, rather, it provides the infrastructure to load emulators (like MAME, EM-DOSBox, or Scripted Amiga Emulator), mount virtual filesystems, fetch disk images or ROMs, and launch everything cleanly.

Its main goal is to make in-browser emulation simple: you include Emularity, point it to the emulator files and the game data, and it handles setup, arguments, fullscreen mode, and the virtual filesystem behind the scenes.
