Welcome, beckermatic and ingenting! You both indeed have some not so common tastes there. Yes, game consoles are nowadays much more popular in retrospect. Old applications get even less love than home computer games.

Hi there! My name is Eric! Thanks for hosting those games!

Hello, Downloaded a game Mech warrior 2. I reinstalled Windows 98 on a old Dell Optiplex GX150 to play Pinball and install my DOOM floppy disks. sure like these old games!!! I got a old Microsoft Flight Simulator on floppy too, with the manual I just found digging in a old box. Later!!!

Found this website, because you claim to have the german version of Chewy - Esc from F5. My CD is somewhere at my parents house. Anyway, I hope that ScummVM helps this game to gain popularity.

Claim? j

Hi, I'm new here.

Came here looking for "Die total verrückte Rallye"/"Dr. Drago's MadCap Chase" and stayed for all the other classics :-)

Hi New member here, I don't have anything clever or witty to say just yet. Besides - Thanks for hosting those games!

I saw the listing for Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective Vol. I for PC (DOS) and immediately flashed back to 1982.

I have the original paper-based games by Sleuth Publications, Ltd from 1982. I remember long hours pondering over clues trying to solve the cases. I'm very curious how these played 10 years later on the early pc's. Happy to see them archived here.

Hi,

i am now 50yrs young and still love the good old games!

Still a gamer and now i am here to find some good old goodies

cheers^^

New guy here. Mostly here to do research in to the earliest years of the FPS genre. I was an amiga user back in the 90s but never really played the FPSes that came out there. Though I certainly played a lot of Wolfenstein3D on a friend's PC and later Doom on various platforms.

I've recently done a deep dive on the FPSes that the amiga plarform did get to see what was achieved there (mostly bad, with one or two highlights). But then I figured my half remembered memories of PC FPSes probably weren't a fair comparison. So now I'm tinkering with a 86Box and a 486 install to see exactly how did the Amiga FPSes shape up with the competition of the time

Hello danby, I played through pretty much all those Amiga 3D shooters five years ago (all documented here on the site). I think your conclusion that they were all rather poor, with one or two exceptions, is pretty much spot on. Though you are also correct that this doesn't say anything about the big picture, how they compared to what went on elsewhere. After all, this genre doesn't exactly age well in general. My feeling for this was (spoiler ) that they compared ok if you mentally shift the timeline backwards by a few years. I.e. a 3D shooter on Amiga in 1996 is about equivalent to one on PC in 1993.

Definitely interested what you find!

newest member here. what is the most liked game in this forum. need recommendations for new digital adventures to take.

That really depends on what kind of games you like, doesn't it?

true this. i like puzzle games and simulations.

stumbled upon this forum because of ecopolicy.

Just found this place- awesome historical collection! Currently building my dream 9x machine, booted off an ide adapter for microsd (these are amazing times lol), and figuring out my dos collection for a new (to me) ESS Solo-1 with a dreamblaster wavetable.

Hi my name is scott and I started my love of games with an IBM PS/1 back in 1992.I still have some floppies and magazine cover discs and I am starting to get to grips with Dosbox.
