DOS Games Compatibility Wiki:About

From DOS Games Compatibility Wiki

On hundreds of forums throughout the internet, people start threads about getting old games to play on new computers. Rather than editing each other's responses into a single, coherent answer, responders may fill page after page with posts in an unstructured way; sometimes with conflicting information. The knowledge has limited usefulness and longevity because the answers can only be viewed by visitors to that thread, and the thread is lost when new posts push it off of the main page, or the thread is pruned due to inactivity. I felt that there should be a central location for people using any operating system to pool and permanently record their knowledge of how to get DOS games running on modern computers. For any given game, if anyone knows how to get it running, they can post their solution and let the rest of the world know.
