I received this encouraging email today, and thought I'd share it with you:
Hello. I was the creator of <a href="http://www.dosgames.com/g_rpg.php">Dungeons of Death</a>, and for the last 10 years, I thought the game was gone. Then today, I find your site and there it is! I was so excited, I downloaded the game and played it again. Do you have anyway to tell me how many times it has been downloaded?
Thank you
Alex Kapteyn
(FWIW, the game was downloaded 125 times in Oct '07 and 55 times so far this month. )

Lets have a minute of silence, thinking about all those games that are lost forever. How many of those gems are on a 3.25" floppy somewhere ... lost ....
And now, most PCs have no 3.5" anymore.
I blame the Mac for that.
They were the first floppyless ones.
Bààààààd Mac.
Macs are evil.

Macs were first to rid the floppy too I agree the games were PWNAGE. Dos never had Crystal Crazy or Daleks and maybe even stunt copter or more useless honey pot lane! All fun though! Dos never had a GUI *snickers* unless you call Windows 3.1 or Xtree Gold a GUI
