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 use the money to:
- pay domain and server costs
- keep working on the site, tracking bugs, adding features
- buy recent retro games to review (recent games WILL NEVER be available to download)
- get help from translators (being italian, sometimes I need professional help...)
To donate any amount (you choose) just click on the donate button and you'll be redirected to PayPal.
