I used to have this one on a floppy, but got rid of all my DOS based games several years ago. Dumped the whole lot including 100&#39;s of cassete games from the Commadore and some from the Atari. Now you can buy external cassette players etc to take all those old games. Still, who needs them now as most are available for free.

Curious what happened to The Web Master that you had last week? Anywho, great game and great idea to get back to the good old days of dos. I was just thinking this weekend that I should post more dos games next week. Thanks for the game =) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6586#post-68104 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:49:56 +0000 thewebmaster (DOS Diver) 68104@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p><strong>I&#39;m posting the game for today, so I chose a DOS game--Micro Machines.</strong><br /> <em>Micro Machines is a classic racing game of the nineties. Simple, fast-paced and lots of fun. You are given the control of miniature cars and you&#39;ll have to race AI opponents or your friends on various locations such as kitchen desks, pool tables, workshops, school desks, gardens, bathtubs etc.<br /> <img src="http://www.abandonia.com/files/games/77/Micro%20Machines_5.png"><br /> The choice of cars is as diverse as the locations are: there are choppers, speedboats, racecars, tanks, jeeps, formulas and many more vehicles to choose. You&#39;ll spend hours just trying out the stages and vehicles. If you thought it ends here you were wrong!</p> <p>There are also around 20 different drivers and opponents to pick. Its such an amazing game! :) My adrenaline level jumped just because I&#39;m thinking about the game at the moment – just imagine what it feels like playing it then! :)</p> <p>The controls are simple – you just need to accelerate, turn and slow down. There are a few modes of playing. You can compete against computer opponents in single races or tournaments, or you can race your friends in head to head mode.<br /> <img src="http://www.abandonia.com/files/games/77/Micro%20Machines_1.png"><br /> The graphics are just sweet and sounds are satisfactory. In conclusion, this is an all around great game that should clearly be given a mark of 5 . Strongly recommended!<br /> </em><br /> __________________________________________________________________________________<br /> <a href="http://www.abandonia.com/en/downloadgame/77">Download | Click Here</a></p> <p>Thanks for reading!<br /> -Webmaster </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2808/page/3#post-65797 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 16:41:09 +0000 notblocklox 65797@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>What a great giveaway!<br /> Thanks, <strong>devildog</strong>, for sharing. <center><strong>:)</strong></center> </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2808/page/3#post-65793 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 15:31:34 +0000 devildog 65793@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p><a href="http://www.tomwaits.com/news/article/60/Free_Glitter_and_Doom_Live_Album_Preview/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tomwaits.com/news/article/60/Free_Glitter_and_Doom_Live_Album_Preview/</a> </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6314#post-65512 Fri, 09 Oct 2009 13:44:40 +0000 Controlled Chaos 65512@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi folks </p> <p>I&#39;ve just had a go at <strong>Boxspin</strong> that Txnnok posted about and thought I would start this topic.

When the switch happened, they used a different set of mark-ups, that didn&#39;t update the old ones. Every time G@rgoyle tries to edit a post to include the newest game, it screws up all of the url markups. She&#39;s trying to get a new program coded to convert them, and refuses to have any help from us to fix them (=p at granny) The post is closed to keep people from spamming in that thread. It does get updated regularly (up until now), though so even though it says it&#39;s 8 months old, it&#39;s still seeing a lot of activity. =) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5356#post-64531 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 05:07:53 +0000 Bigun 64531@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Whiterabbit, thank you for taking notice of my post. Organizing game titles complete with a synopsis of the associated gameplay, mentioning the download location, and possibly commenting on the type of controls utilized is a Herculean job. If anyone can organize such a task I believe that it would be you. Your knowledge of games and your gameplay experience astounds me. I know that you have enlisted and accepted volunteer help from many other knowledgeable gamers. I hope that you and the others will work on organizing the games that you have made available so that it is easier for non-gamers to find and select games that they might find enjoyable.</p> <p>The list that you referenced is the one that I mentioned was closed 8 months ago. “ <a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4534" rel="nofollow">http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4534</a> “ - from the forum’s last post “Topic Closed. This topic has been closed to new replies.” </p> <p>Even though the referenced list is not completely current, I doubt that I would be able to work myself very far through it in what remains of my lifetime.</p> <p>Bigun </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5356#post-64437 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 05:37:09 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 64437@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi Bigun,</p> <p>It&#39;s great to see you around again. (You&#39;ve just reminded me that I have a draft email waiting to be completed and posted to you). The organized list I think you&#39;re looking for (created by G@rgoyle) can be found via the following link:</p> <p><a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4534" rel="nofollow">http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4534</a></p> <p>G@rgoyle has also now created a synopsis of all the Browser based games to be found in the forums:</p> <p><a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5709" rel="nofollow">http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5709</a></p> <p>While searching for the browser based games link, I realized how disorganised these forums are becoming. There are too many duplicate lists, which need to be tidied up. Thanks for bringing the problem to my attention. It looks like i&#39;m going to have to spend some time trying to reorganise a few of the posts I&#39;ve seen. </p> <p>Regards</p> <p>Whiterabbit </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5356#post-64436 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 04:47:23 +0000 Bigun 64436@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>At one point in time games were offered through a daily giveaway program similar to the present GOTD. Game offerings later went from a daily offering to a program that offered games only on weekends. Apparently it was difficult to find games to offer even on a schedule of only 2 days a week. Whiterabbit, and others, began a daily game giveaway program to supplement the previous program offered by GGOTD (Game Giveaway of the Day). We have been blessed with information on a plethora of good and not so good free games through the various programs that I mentioned. As the list of game offerings has grown, I am finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with what is being offered.</p> <p>At one time there was a running commentary for the daily game giveaways. Game titles, with a brief synopsis of game play, where listed in alphabetical order. I found the commentary to the helpful because it brought order to the growing list of free games available for download. The commentary that I am referring to was closed 8 months ago. If some other way for supplying information on available games took its place I have not been able to find it. I would like to once again be able to plug into an ordered form to keep up with the many games we are being told about. Is there an organized list of game titles mentioned here in the forums? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5356#post-64385 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 23:46:08 +0000 Merri 64385@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>grassypath59 you are really welcome!<br /> (I had forgotten that I had posted this..lol!)<br /> jenany, YES it&#39;s all I need is to find more games that I can&#39;t stop playing..lol!<br /> :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5356#post-64366 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 19:08:15 +0000 Idunnobutiwastold 64366@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Browser mini-games with topical themes at the Disney site:<br /> <a href="http://disney.go.com/games/" rel="nofollow">http://disney.go.com/games/</a><br /> - -- -- -- -<br /> [I expect that most firms which produce merchandising items based on toys/comics/movies now maintain their own collection of online games ~ <em><strong>Bing</strong></em>o it as needed]. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5356#post-64288 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 00:56:32 +0000 jenany 64288@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks, Merri!

These days it's really hard to find new devs (nearly impossible for quality stuff). However, this wait isn't that bad. Approximately a new game giveaway every 2-3 weeks is better than the previous gap of quite a few months (I think it was March-June).</p> <p>About Valve's Steam, I would have to disagree that it's just merely a "game manager". It's really a huge monster of DRM, online multiplayerism, IM, groups, yada yada. The list goes on, but it's mostly a monster, eating up a whole lot of RAM, and then add on the RAM of the game you're playing... Erk! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6074#post-63177 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 19:27:54 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 63177@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>i don't think there's any intention of phasing out the game side of the project. They are just finding it difficult to get any games. Sites like Gamehouse Gametop, FreeGamesPick and MyPlayCity, plus others, that give free commercial games away, plus the fact that the recession has forced the price of arcade games right down to virtually nothing isn't helping the project. </p> <p>Arcade games were priced at $19.99 for many years but over the last few years some sites such as Gamehouse, Big fish, Reflexive and others are now selling their games at an amazing reduction (less than $7). Also Valve runs a games manager where you can get amazing deals on the more expensive games such as Real time Strategy games and First Person Shooters. This is unprecededed. A couple of years ago it was rare to find such bargains.</p> <p>Of courseI'm only speculating.</p> <p>Regards</p> <p>Whiterabbit </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6074#post-63176 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 19:22:24 +0000 thenameipicked 63176@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Ribbie, what is currently happening is that giveawayoftheday has run out of game developers at the moment.
