Here's a link to a place that has everything you ever wanted to know about DOS but were affraid to ask.

http://www.computerhope.com/msdos.htm

And now, if you think DOS programs are hard to find, take a look at this "exhaustive" list.

http://www.opus.co.tt/dave/indexall.htm

Another great place for DOS related "anything" is appropriately called DOS Solutions. You can find them right here.

http://www.dossolutions.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/

And finally, another very decent place to visit in your DOS Quests is "Alternative Operating Systems" which you can get to from this link.

http://www.mwpms.uklinux.net/index.htm

There you go, this should keep you DOS lovers busy for a while. ;-)

Thanks :-)...I got plenty more on the way. ;-).

For all you gamers (yeah you sore thumb joystick pushing trigger happy freaks ;-) Don't think I forgot about you out there. You that thought some old dos game ya loved dissapeared forever. It just might be here (believe it!):

Home Of The Underdogs:
http://www.the-underdogs.info/

I post this because this link changed recently and those of you that might have tried to get there only to get an error, here's the new address.

If not, you can always try here:

Abandonia
http://www.abandonia.com/index2.php

Or here

XTC Abandonware
http://www.xtcabandonware.com/

And for now, the last link (more will come later ;-)

Classic PC Games
http://www.classic-pc-games.com/

To borrow E.K. words, if the DOS game you're looking for isn't in one of these, it's not worth having ;-) hehe.

Bit off topic but i did interview DOSGuy from Classic DOS Games some time ago. I think its very interesting interview and DOSGuy has some great points in hes thoughts. He has also contacted like billion different DOS game programmer and developer.

Definately must to read for DOS lovers.
