eXoDOS is an attempt to catalog, obtain, and make playable every game developed for the DOS and PC Booter platform. We strive to find original media rather than using scene rips or hacks. This collection uses DosBox to allow these older games to play on modern systems. Games supported by ScummVM give the user a choice between emulators. All required emulators are included and have been setup to run all included titles with no prior knowledge or experience required on the users part.
This pack includes more than 7,000 DOS games. The focus is on games that were either released in English or are fairly easy to play without a knowledge of the native language. This is not every DOS game ever made, however it is a very high percentage of all commercial releases. There are thousands of freeware, homebrew and shareware games that will continue to be added in future packs.
The games have already been configured to run in DOSBox. Games which are supported by ScummVM will give you the option at launch as to which emulator you would like to use.
This pack of software includes 667 educational software titles from MS-DOS & Windows 3.1. This includes classics such as The Oregon Trail (regular and multimedia versions), the Carmen Sandiego series, Math Blaster, Reader Rabbit, Jumpstart, the MS Home Reference series and hundreds of lesser known titles.
The titles are emulated through DOSBox and require no first hand knowledge on the user's part to get them running. The front end, LaunchBOX, includes cover art, screen shots, descriptions, and metadata to help you and your child find titles of interest.
While these titles have been a part of my larger projects, which focus on preserving all games from MS-DOS and Windows 3.X, I felt a focused release at this time made sense for the number of children stuck at home right now.
All the fun of the full Retro Learning Pack in only a 2gb download! The 2gb download includes the front end, metadata, and configuration files for all of the games. The first time you attempt to run a game it will tell you the total size of it and ask you if you would like to download it. It will then selectively grab the file you need with a handy dandy status bar to let you know the estimated time. Once it finishes downloading the game will be setup and ready to run
