Just found a download for the old dos based scorched earth and it has been taking to much of my time away from other games. But just wondering if anyone knows if there are some sites to download old comador 64 games. Playing scorched reminded me of the games of yesteryear... before blu ray and blinking red lights of death
This is silly! Buttons are not how one escapes dungeons! I would smash the button and rain beatings liberally down on the wizard for playing such a trick!
There is lots of abandon ware games out there. I've picked up some old clasics like scorched earth, X-Com, robotron. Most of the stuff I pick up is from pirate sites so forgive me if I'm a bit mum on the location.
One very good way to get access in a leagal way to a lot of old games is game tap. The have quite an extensive library of good (and some not so good) games that have been recoded to work on modern computers.
