there is ways that it should be acceptable. Such as screenshots. To really piss stealers off, put your address in the pic. I personally have no choce on my site but to take it from others. The jokes do not belong to any onbe person, and the images I doubt someone would mind if i had. The same applys to him. If he were to only take stuff that no one would mind if it were taken, whats wrong? I aggree however, taht he should have asked emmzee first to take the stuff, since that is the reasopn people go there.

You know, Kenny, if ya would want, I could write a description for the games you want on your site. I could probably even write it if I didn't read the game, just by reading other descriptions. I'm pretty good at re-interpreting paragraphs. You could call 'em your own if ya want, I wouldn't care.

I could help, too.

I've written two-page reports, from just one page of information and such. I once wrote some "Out-of-class" research for social studies that just re-iterated the information that he gave us in class so much that he thought it was new.

As far as writing reports goes, I recently wrote a 23 page book report and have a 10 page one coming so I may appear as a tad long-winded in your reviews...

A DOS site I would be interested in would be a hardware site.

I mean a site showing the most popular old school computer equipment, how to set it up, what kind of software, sound cards, video cards, joysticks where popular during each generation of DOS games from the earliest CGA games all the wat to the last generation quake game (before they went Windows only). It would have pictures jumper settings, reviews, what games show off what hardware etc, memory requirements.

Most if not all the dos game sites I have seen are 100% centered on the games themselves, and maybe how to run the old games on windows XP with emulated sound.

I like to play my old dos,atari 2600, c64, amiga games on the original equipment for the real retro fealing. Nothing like the hiss of an old sound blaster pro, or playing an atari 2600 game with those stiff original joysticks that leave your thumb sore.

most of the users in this forum are (or at least were) about 16 years of age or less (with a few exceptions of course). I'm 16 going onto 17 in April, but i know significantly more about windows, DOS, and general programming, computer languages, and computers in general than most people my age and older. I was teaching my programming teacher stuff he didn't know in the program he was teaching us :O

My programming teacher doesn't know anything. Not a thing. I do everything. Whenever someone needs help, it's me they call on. All she does is say do your work and I don't want you on the internet. I spend my time here during her class Cool

Actually, our members here seem to be primarily of the ages 12-25... I would suspect that they 1. like me didn't have a windows computer for their "personal" (not family) use until 1998 so they know about DOS and remember a lot of DOS games (I had over 1,000 from this CD browser), even though they are young or 2. realized how sucky modern games are and wanted to relive the "good old days" of DOS gaming. (Ah yes, back then, when men were real men, women were real women, and computers were real slow...)

I'm 15 and will be 16 in 4 days.

The main reason(s) I came here were: 1) My computer used to suck, so I went to games with low requirements. 2) DOS games were more fun. 3) Free. Games. What could be better? Game Hippo is the answer (all things are 100% free), but I still like this Malevolent
