Back in the day when I had an IBM 286 my kids and I would play dos games on the computer. The link has what looks to be thousands of these old games that you can down load for free. Some of this old software is still fun.

Most of the games can be played right from the website. Thanks for the link.

Awesome memories! Thank you.


We had an 8088 with a 20MB hard drive and we thought that was a Big H.D..

Then we switched to a PC XT Turbo that had a switch to change it from 4mHz to 8mHz

All I had was a Commodore Vic 20 but it was cool.

Ahhh! The Sinclair doorstop! Fun little toys! Nobody wrote software for them & there were only like three cartridges for them. Did you have the little printer that used calculator paper? Gave mine to a friend at work that was using them to control robots.

I forgot about the Sinclair. Back in the early 80’s a manager where I worked started using the Osborne. I think it was the first portable computer the size of a suitcase.

I tried a few of the games. Still as bad at it as I ever was. Can never get past the first stage. My kids got a kick out of the website.

Actually I don't know if it was first or last, but Commodore had almost the same setup. Danged thing weighed a ton! Don't think they made many, remember looking everywhere to find one in the day. Oh wait the Commodore one came with just 5.5" floppy but it was easy to put a second in the disk storage slot.

The Osbourne or Kay Pro was the first "Luggable" computer. I have a TRS-80 in my basement that I am converting to run a Raspberry Pi with an LCD monitor. I had to put it on hold when my basement flooded back before Christmas.
