About

ABOUT The major CPU manufacturers are developing virtualization technologies that help computers run multiple operating systems simultaneously, and DOS emulators have brought the ability to run DOS software to platforms that have never before run DOS. The future of DOS has never been brighter. DOS is the legacy of home computers. No type of software chronicles that legacy, by pushing the limits of technology, or being more widely used, better than games. To observe the advances in games is to observe the development of every aspect of computer technology, from CPUs to graphics and sound cards to input devices. Changes in the content and genres of games are a window into the popular culture of our society. They remind of us our childhoods. They made up the bulk of all computer games for over a decade, and they are disappearing fast. They were published on floppy disks that are degrading with the passage of time, and many were rendered unplayable as new versions of Windows removed support for DOS environments. One of the primary goals of this site is to preserve the history of DOS games by popularizing them and providing utilities to make them playable so that people can enjoy them.
