(Warning.....Young kids Might be LOST LIKE A MOFO..........)
I never knew bout this site!Found it by accident)
I just downloaded the DOS games I grew up on like:

Wasteland, The Mars Saga, Roadwar 2000, AD&D titles, Buck Rodger Titles, BattleMech the OG one I played that all day and won it, what memories, (Didnt see THE BARD's TALE(1-3) yet(OMG if you dont know Bards Tale you are young dayum!, Syndicate, Syndicate Wars, Realms, Ultima 1-4, Sentinel Wars 1(Only one I cant get to work SO FAR!), etc etc IT GOES ON FOR DAYS seems like the archive of Old Games trust me.....The site is HELLA slow for me but the downloads are faster than normal GO FIGURE.... CHECK IT OUT YOU OLD SCHOOL GAMERS! Remember OG S.S.I. ?! OG ORIGIN?! OG EA?! etc etc......

Plus the Docs are there to DL.......

Shit like that there are thousands of em and most all are free to download, guess its public domain but the memories............. Just try it..... Remember one game you have died to play and go get it and try it out(And lemme tell you, its not like you remember you gonna be like OH DAYUM I LOVE THIS GAME.....BUT WTF HAPPENED TO THE GRAPHICS!?!?

Example: Back in the day('89) I got the game Wasteland. OMG the best game I loved it like no other.....(14 years later) WTF???!? WASTELAND!!!!!(Sorta like Tom Hanks when he finally created fire? FIRE!!!!!!!) And its great I am gonna play it soon, just to bring me back to many years ago. Oh so to my point is that I remember the most kick ass game and how much I loved it etc etc.....Well I had culture time shock yesterday when I played it....Its fun but there is just lets say.... Almost takes more brainpower back then to play even know the interface was a lot simpler.......(Cancel that it takes brainpower to remember how fucking SIMPLE the interface WAS......Back in the day..............

MEMORIES.............NOTHING BUT MEMORIES!!!!!!(WIsh I could go back........)

P.S. I never searched for any of this stuff I stumbled onto it and it brought back memories so if its is old news the FUCK OFF I'd of wished someone like me to post a post like mine a LONG TIME AGO!

Its not a Pirate site its an OG site they came shareware or freeware or fuck it I still doing but you do have a few games that you have to BUY(BUY A DOS GAME?@?!?!! THATS WHAT I THOUGHT) lifes a bitch.....Only one of my titles that I used to play in the day said PAY so......

ummm...

starfleet battles is a 1960s table top board game based on star trek ship combat. Battletech is also a 1960s table top board game based on mech battles. MWDA (Mechwarrior Dark Age) is the new battletech table top board game that has come out, by wizkids * www.wizkidsgames.com * and is very good. I play the old ones and MWDA every chance I get, cant get enough of table top games, just somehting about seeing the army, and having them in RL vs VR ....

BTW:
Starfleet battles was turned into the computergame series "Star Trek: Starfleet Command" (1,2,3,and 4) *and one can argue that the larger scale version turned into startrek armada 1 and 2*

Battletech became "mechwarrior" 1-4 (and merc2 and merc 4) as well as mechassault, battletech 3025 *best one by far*, and mechcommander 1 and 2

*ya, so I went back another 20 years from what you were talking about, but hay, still OLD games :p *ok, not risk, or checkers/chess old, but STILL!*

That's sweet

They have Darklands, the game that sucked many hours of my youth away!

Gotta try that one again

Nice find
(though a pop-up blocker is a must)

The only games I CANNOT find out of my youth is Bards Tale series.... Anyone know where to get em?

Yes AWSOME SITE and obviously they can give us all the games for all the FUCKING POPUPS....But its worth it!

Keep busy on that shizzit till PS!

P.S. I had to disable my firewall to DL so if you havin a problem try that, and whatever you do, do not dl more than 1 thing at a time! (unless you use a FTP proxy maybe but since most the shizzit is less than 1k, you shouldnt have a problem!
