I just stumbled across this awesome service, called Good Old Games. They have a bunch of old DOS games available for immediate download for incredible prizes (5,99 and 9,99 - even some free ones), including a few Apogee titles (ROTT, Duke3D etc.). Check it out!

Oh, and the best thing: NO DRM! Yeah!

Yup. They bundle games with DOSBox so that they work on Windows XP and Vista. That's been done many times before (i.e. Sierra Quest compilations), but the prices are definitely reasonable.

Perhaps it might be a good idea to put up a link to their site on Classic DOS Games?

GOG just announced that they will start offering the Tex Murphy series of adventure games on their website! Woo-hoo! Man, I'm so excited about this! I used to LOVE these games! I still have Under A Killing Moon and Overseer laying around somewhere. I think I did away with the rest in a garage sale maybe. What a fool I was... Anyway, now I'll have another chance to play them again!

Check it out!

Yet another favorite of mine made it to the site. This time, it's the classic puzzle game The Incredible Machine (plus sequels). Ten bucks! What a great value.
