EDIT: LIST IS CLOSED, THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE SUGGESTIONS!
The CD image with all games and installer can be downloaded here: https://archive.org/details/gaffa-dos-shareware-pack, just burn the image file to a CD.
FEEL FREE TO DISTRIBUTE IT!
Hey,
Hope someone can help me with this new project
The idea is to make an ISO containing many MS-DOS games which are currently freeware so people can download it and burn to a CD and use on retro PCs or DOSBOX. I already created an installer program that runs on MS-DOS that allows the user to select the game to install, and now I'm collecting the free games to add to it:
Some rules:
- Full games only, no shareware or demos (those may be for a future project)
- The game must be 100% freeware (so please, no abandonware)
- Since the idea is to burn many games to a CD, games which were distributed on CD-ROM should not be considered as they will not fit (i.e C&C games)
EDIT: The list of games is closed, the CD image with all games and installer can be downloaded here: https://ufile.io/2l1qwzi6, just burn the files to a CD (INSTALL.EXE must be located at the CD's root).
Here is the older version (which includes Shadow Warrior instead of Amulets and Armors) https://ufile.io/76ejw8yx
The installer is meant to run under real DOS (or DOSBOX), and is pretty easy to execute:
-Insert the CD in your retro PC (or mount the image in DOSBOX)
-Execute INSTALL.EXE, this should open a menu to select each game to install. By default they are installed under C:\GAMES\<GAME DIR>, but this can be changed.
