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 hosts the website and one hosts games and applications
- get help from translators (being Italian, sometimes I need professional help...)
- pay third party services (SEO web apps, etc.)
Features I'm working on
