OK, I need some advice because I'm unsure how to proceed with this...
To put it simply, someone who's been spending years putting together a legitimate and massive selection of DOS games over on archive.org, specifically this list: https://archive.org/details/classicpcgames , has contacted me suggesting that he could provide links for the games I cover on my new Shovelware Diggers show so people can try them out for themselves.
I'm all for this, save for one little catch... archive.org ALSO now hosts an archive of DOS games of questionable legality which is really easy to access. In fact, we were all talking about it here when it initially came into existence.
So... in the one sense, I don't want to be linking to a website with game access/downloads of questionable legality, but at the same time, the specific archive that this person's been working on is completely legit as far as I can tell and has been maintained a LOT longer than the newer, less-legit stuff.
So... yeah, I really have no idea how I should proceed with any of this. Anyone have any thoughts or advice?
