If you like adventure games, I suggest to visit my site:
http://membres.lycos.fr/agisite/agisite.htm

I made Naturette, Naturette II, Naturette III, Serguei's destiny and Coco Coq in Grostesteing's base. All games are Dos.

But you may play them under windows using Nagi (you'll find it somewhere in my site).

You can run Windows compiled games in DOS as well: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/kbview.php?id=5

Keep in mind that games depending on plugins won't work.

Also, if he means 'classic' games, check out www.the-underdogs.org

They specialize in LEGAL abandonware, that the authors have actually provided or from companies which have become defunct and were never bought. Some of Al Lowe's old pre-AGI games (not Larry, sadly) are there, and LOTS of other programs.

Underdogs isn't necessarily "legal" persay.. It's just that no-one bothers to take down their game. hehe

You can also have a look at www.dosgames.com, they've got quite a lot of DOS stuff over there, including the latest DOS version of AGS.Ã,Â

Okay, some of it is. I tried to dl 'mixed up mother goose' from them and they said that it was still coyrighted. I assumed that they don't allow material that is still under license.

Well, someone sees the good in them, we're still hanging on for them.

I strongly reccomend abandonia.com. It's only a relatively new site to the abandonware scene, but imo its got the best layout of any abandonware site and has alot of good games including the old Sierra quest games. The community behind the site is also nice, and games are uploaded quite regularly.
