Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use a joystick? Which keys do I need to play the game? And similar questions.

A: Please refer to the documentation that came along with the download. If no docs are supplied and there's no ingame help, please refer to the developers website. You can find the websites list on our developers page.

Q: I've downloaded a game, but it's in zip format or a format my Windows PC doesn't recognize.

A: Most games are compressed to an archive like ZIP or RAR. Visit www.7-zip.org to download and install a free decompression/unarchive tool.

Q: I'm running Linux, have a MacIntosh, or another non MS Windows PC. Can I play the games?

A: Unfortunately, no. Not unless you know how to emulate Windows on your non-Windows PC.

Q: How do I download the games?

A: Just click the "download now:" link on each game detail page

Q: Who made these games?

A: The games have been made by many different developers. All of them are mentioned on the game details pages and if they have a website, they're also linked from the developers page. Visit their websites to learn more about the developers and their projects (and to send them some nice feedback :))

Q: I just tried to download a game, but the link seems dead.

A: Please report any dead links through the contact section, thanks!

Q: Can you add this or that game for download?

A: We don't create remakes, we just enjoy and review them. If you can't find a specific game here, try Google.

Q: I'm running Windows Vista or Windows 7 and old DOS games are not running anymore. How can I play these games?

A: Try DosBox . It's a DOS emulator which allows you to play DOS games under Windows XP/Vista.

Q: Can I play the games on my Android phone/tablet or iPhone/iPad?

A: Probably not. Altough there is some emulation for DOS games on Android, it probably won't work. Sorry!
