    "Preserving our cultural heritage in preserving games"

    I have found several torrents on archive.org that are excellent at preserving our culture's gaming history in terms of DOS games in massive torrents, made available to you at no cost to keep the memory and access to these games
    alive and well. I will paste some important torrent links below. Be sure to set your torrent client to have forced security on uploads and downloads,
    which you can do using the Deluge torrent client, which is my personal favorite. Anyhow here's the list:

    https://archive.org/download/hotu_dos_2006/hotu_dos_2006_archive.torrent https://archive.org/download/DOSGamesCollection2015/DOSGamesCollection2015_arch ive.torrent https://archive.org/download/525-dos-games-80s/525-dos-games-80s_archive.torren t https://archive.org/download/Total_DOS_Collection_18_Archive/Total_DOS_Collecti on_19_Archive_archive.torrent

    So have fun with this. Perhaps our games can keep safe while the world goes
    to Hell. I think that preserving these games is an important part of our Western digital culture and it useful from a sociological perspective. You
    can learn a lot about a culture by the games they play. Again, have fun with this. Don't do anything silly like pirate this stuff in selling it to
    someone. It is meant to bring remembrance to our culture not to make money
    off of it.

    Anyhow, have a nice day.

    Love it. Its sad how hard companies try to prevent access to the old stuff so you have to purchase the new stuff. Sights that keep alive the old school software deserve your patronage.
