I´m not going to lie (or pretend otherwise) that MS-DOS games hasen´t played a huge part in my life. Because they have. I´m a mid 80´s kid, so i grew up with the early 90s PC-games in my home.

Games such as “Commander Keen”, “Simon the sorcerer“, “Wolfenstein”, “Doom“, “Civilization” and “Lemmings”. But as we all know, that´s a thing of the past now, or is it?

Some would probably agree on that. But many old school fans refuses to let the MS-Dos games to die (and to be forgotten).

And thanks to awesome software programs such as “DOSBox“, “VdmSound” and “ScummVm“, the MS-Dos games won’t die out anytime soon.

Then we got the wonderful folks at archive.org, whom has made a 100% dedicated MS-Dos games page. Which has almost 2,400 DOS games, which you can play for free in your browser of choise.

How cool ain´t that on a scale? So let´s start Gaming some DOS games like a boss people!
