Excersise your DOSemu

[Icarus]

In case nobody has ever heard of abandon-ware, here is a good site that keeps old things alive (http://www.the-underdogs.org/index.php) called The Underdogs.

They have tons of old DOS games that have been deemed "Abandoned" and are now freely available...lots of classic gems here:cool:

Even though Abandon-ware is shady in the legal status, I find that keeping old, unsupported and no longer manufactured games alive. These are where true game-play shines

If the mods find this to be inappropriate and too closely related to warez, please feel free to remove this post


Game on!

read the site, it is definately not warez and 100% LEGAL!

I wouldn't say 100%, but they do respect anyone that tells them to pull the stuff off and they ask for permission from the companies...which is very cool.

I found Neuromancer there and was thrilled, I've been trying to find that game for the last 15 years :D

I have gotten dosemu to work fine with dos 6.22
and floppy, cdrom etc,
only problem is when trying to run the first
of my fave games "Return to Zork " it
got thru the intro ok, but when
actually starting the program I got a SIGSEGV error
and exited out of dosemu
I spent 3 hrs on Google searching for this
and a few possibilities exist:
- Game tries to go into protected mode (is that
the same as 4GW?) and dosemu doesnt
support that.
- I'm somehow allowing dosemu to run it's
system.com (how do I stop this)
- Somehow the stack access isn't set right
(is it possible to correct this)?

thanks
