Hi...
If this has been mentioned by anyone then sorry.
You can get lots of classic PC games for free from the website below. The reason you don't have to pay as the games are so old they don't get sold anymore so you are legally allowed to download them.
There are some real classics on there, will bring back lots of memories.
If you are looking at the game and it has a dollar sign next to it then you can't download it as its still being sold.
The website does not have any sign up, unless you want to use the chat forum.
Enjoy

If this for some reason breaks any of the MSE site rule then I do apologise.

nice site!
Another is home of the underdogs (google for it) which has lots of games that have been abandoned to the public domain .You dont need to be a member to download but must only download one game at a time and no download accelerators else they get swamped.0 -
its up at abandonia .I think that is PQ1. There is a link on that page also to Blueforce which looks like a similar game.
Underdogs used to have 1 - 3 but it looks like they no longer have it.0 -

Hi, lots of these wont run through command prompt, you need a program called DOSBOX, this will run 99.9% of them.
Some great ones to get, Superfrog,lemmings, Zool, Cannon fodder...0 -
