Yeah, it's Billy the Kid, and it's actually available from one of our former sites, DosGames Online. Unfortunately, you do have to register to download it - but it should be free.

Heh, we used to host them and let them use our forum back when they first started... Sarcastic

Seems you can download without registering now ...... ?
Works for me.

I still get the "In order to download games from this website, you need to create an account." message when I try to DL. Not sure if you still have to sign up for other offers once you make the account or not ...

The demo version of a game they call "Billy the Kid Returns!" is available on the official Alivesoft website here:

Don't know if that's the same game you're looking for but you can DL it there without registering or whatever so its worth a shot.

Nope, I got that register-in-order-to-download nag too...

Now, normally I'd say go to bugmenot.com and get your login there, but atm, they seem to be out of credits.

So It seems I'm the only one who can download from there without registering myself?

Wait a sec, that's Joris his site isn't it? .nl, my neighbour.
Must be that then.
Wonder if Gamer_V also can down without nag..... ?

Joris no longer owns the site, which explains how the forced registration came to be there in the first place. Suspicious

Ah yes, that was posted in the adm sub before, forgot about that.

Nevertheless, I still download without registering, LMAO.
The mystery is only more puzzling now.

Joris sold DGO awhile back; it now has forced registration (and you have to sign up for other free trial offers to get "points") in order to download stuff. So, the unholy trinity of DOS games sites was broken cuz I didn't wanna support such a site. Tbbbbbth!

No doubt. Congrats to him for selling his site. Does he have anything to do with it anymore?

now emmzee has to sell this site and we are all set!

It'll be forced registration and spyware with every download
