Donations: why Abandonware DOS needs support
Abandonware DOS is a free service, born from my passion for old PC games for DOS and Windows. However, there are costs to sustain. If you're wondering how to help, well, you can donate a few bucks using PayPal.
I spend the money to:
- pay hosting and server costs: Abandonware DOS uses two distinct hosting services: one for the site and one for hosting games
- replace faulty hardware (I'm not spending anything on new hardware... I mean, old games can run on an old PC, right?)
- get help from translators (being italian, sometimes I need professional help...)
