DOS_deck: Free, old-timey DOS games in a web browser

Posted on Nov 28, 2023 by kingbeowulf



I ran across an article in Ars Technica [1] about nifty project DOS_Deck [2] - a cross platform implementation of old DOS in a web browser. DOS_Deck simplifies the process of getting an old DOS game running. No more fiddling; just click and play.

Personally, I've always enjoyed the hours tweaking my old MSDOS configurations, and later, DOSBox on Linux, to get my games running. Although, I do recognize that some may feel that is an exercise in frustration.

They plan to add more examples from the vintage era of gaming.
