Now that you've downloaded hundreds of awesome games, how are you going to organize them on your hard drive? Having trouble putting a description to a name? I've put this entire website (except for the Forum and Wiki) on a DVD, so you can keep track of where all of your games are, sort them by genre or publisher, and look up a description of each one. Plus, no waiting for downloads!
Boss blocked all of the gaming websites at work? No wireless internet connection on your laptop? Your retro computer just has a dial-up modem? Take your games wherever you want with this handy DVD! Basically, this offline version of the website is a way for me to give something back to people who are generous enough to make a donation. You decide the amount of your donation, as long as your donation will cover the cost of burning and shipping a DVD to you. Each disc is a Sony 16x DVD-R, burned with a Plextor PX-810SA, Plextor's top of the line DVD burner. Plextor has always produced the highest quality optical drives in the world. When review sites analyze the quality of DVD burners, they test the discs for C1 and C2 errors with a Plextor drive. Plextor is the standard to which all other drives are compared. Your disc will have maximum readability in any computer. To maximize value for donors, I've come up with a way to make the Classic DOS Games DVD more collectible. Every disc is unique! There are two covers to choose from. The disc label lists how many games are on the DVD, what day the disc is a snapshot of, the value of the donation you made, and your disc number. Each disc is individually numbered, like a limited edition print, but without the limit. Discs are labelled with Memorex CD/DVD White Matte Labels, printed with a Xerox Phaser 6120N color laser printer for professional quality.
Jewel cases might crack during shipping, so DVDs are shipped in a Dynex CD/DVD Sleeve to protect them during shipping and beyond. They're made of soft plastic and have a special non-scratch sheet inside.
DVDs are shipped in a CD Bubble Mailer. Shipping outside of North America will cost overseas rates.
The DVD comes with 50 MB of "DVD extras", and there are no ads. What does your donation do?For legal reasons, donations are optional so that no one can claim that Classic DOS Games is selling the games that appear on the DVD. If you choose to make a donation, you're making a donation to Classic DOS Games. You are not paying for the games that appear on this site, nor does your donation register your shareware. My primary goal is just to break even on the cost of running the website. All of the money that this website receives will be used to pay for hosting and site-related expenses. On the rare occasions when the site has a surplus, all visitors can vote on how the surplus should be spent. For a detailed accounting of this site's finances, everything is listed on the Donations page.When making a donation, please remember the expenses related to the Classic DOS Games DVD. The cost of producing and shipping the DVD within North America is around $6. Please make your donations in Canadian dollars if possible.
