Anyone who owned a PC in the '90s will be intimately familiar with many of the titles on offer at RGB Classic Games, a site that provides over 300 DOS titles free-to-play in a web browser. Everything from the first shareware episode of Doom through to Cliff Bleszinski'sJazz Jack Rabbit is here. It's enough to make you wanna cry.Other highlights include John Romero's first game Dangerous Dave, early id Software classic Commander Keen, the first Duke Nukemplatformer, as well as lesser known titles such as The Lost Vikings and Loader Larry. Strangely, not all the titles on offer were first distributed as shareware, though RGB insists that "all of the games on this site are freely distributable because they are shareware, freeware, or because the copyright holder has officially and legally released all rights to the public domain (abandonware)."
Whatever the case, there's weeks - nay years - worth of play here. Got any fond memories of '90s gaming?
