I just got pointed in the direction of this massive archive of abandonware. Hundreds of classic DOS games are there for the taking, from Arkanoid, to Commander Keen, to X-Com. The legality of abandonware is a little dubious (and this site a little more so than usual — I’m not sure Blizzard has given their blessing for Warcraft 2 to be up there), but in a lot of cases you can’t find these games anywhere and the companies have long since gone out of business anyway, so go nuts. Relive your childhood! Revel in nostalgia! Maybe even find out what your parents were playing!
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to discover to my dismay that Alley Cats was actually a really terrible game and I must have been terrifically bored as a child…
