Any site where you can download old-school games

Post » Fri Sep 10, 2010 2:06 am

I have just downloaded DOSBox 0.74 just now, and I am interested in sites (without viruses/trojans/spyware) where I can download some old school games (for free, preferrably) such as Montezuma's Revenge, Below The Root, Aztec Challenge, Mario Bros., etc. So is there such download sites? Please post with links below!

Wouldn't see why not? It's all abandon ware, and those that aren't you have to pay for.

Abandonware is not technically legal. Or something. The mods don't like it anyway. :P

I can't say I appreciate the phrasing but thank you for removing the link.


Abandonware and emulators aren't allowed on the forums. There are some old DOS games that have been legally released for free (like Arena and Daggerfall) but given that the OP lists at least one game that would be illegal to download I'm giving this a lock.
