Im very embarrassed to be posting this kind of help. As long as someone answers my question then I dont care about how many people laugh and make fun of me. So here it goes,

On the main DOSbox website, how the hell do I download the games? Am I missing something, because I look at the list of games. Pick the one I want, but all I see is all the versions of dosbox its compatible with, and the option to leave a comment. But there is nothing there that gives an option to download the selected game.

The DosBox website does not offer games for download.

If the DosBox website were to do so then the only games we would be allowed to offer would be OpenSource games, freeware and shareware games (assuming their EULA allows them to be distributed).

So called "abandonware" games are still under copyright and cannot legally be offered for download. (at least not in places where it is not legal to do so anyway).
