Not sure if this is allowed but eXoDOS has updated his dos collection to 2.0 which contains over 2000 dos games. Available on the pleasuredome Wink No I wont link it!

Quote:
eXoDOS is my attempt to catalogue, obtain, and make playable every game developed for the DOS and PC Booter platform. I strive to find original media rather than using scene rips. This collection uses a combination of Dosbox and ScummVM to play these older titles on modern systems. All required emulators are included in the torrent and have been setup to run all included titles with no prior knowledge or experience required on the users part.

Version 2.0 adds a ton of new features to the collection. Several utilities, converters, and even a compressor have been added. Check the section on new features for the complete documentation of them.

MEAGRE now also features a unique GUI dubbed 'Nostalgia Mode.' Check the drop down menu to enable it. Full documentation can be found in Sec03.

This pack includes 1,030 DOS adventure games which combines the previously released 757 and 273 new additions! I have defined "adventure" as games which primarily rely on non action based puzzle-solving and story based games. This includes interactive fiction, traditional point & click, and interactive stories.

All games have been pre-setup and are immediately playable, no configuration required. A one time setup is required by the front end.

The games included were identified by scanning several adventure game archives, dos collections, and auditing well known game databases such as MobyGames.

I have chosen to split up the collection by genre. Overall eXoDOS is made up of 5 volumes. This first volume focuses on Adventure games, a personal favourite of mine.

This pack includes 1,030 DOS games which are in some form or another part of the Adventure Genre. This includes interactive fiction, point & click, puzzle-solving, item-use puzzles, and even some action/platformer titles which have an underlying adventure quality.

The games included were identified by scanning several adventure archives, as well as auditing well known game databases such as MobyGames.

All games have been pre-setup and are immediately playable, no configuration required. A one time setup is required by the front end.

Updates to 2.0:
Apart from new games and fixes, version 2.0 adds several new features. Within MEAGRE, one can now browse via "Nostalgia Mode", which allows one to browse the games from a graphical perspective (See Sec03 for documentation).

Prior to versions 2.0, any game supported by ScummVM was automatically launched by ScummVM. Version 2.0 allows the user to select which emulator they would like to run for games that are supported by both programs.

Another addition is the ability to install a game from the launch file. Previously when attempting to launch a game that had not been installed, the program would simply remind you the game had not been installed yet. Now it goes on to ask if you would like to install the game, negating the need to run the install file seperately.

In the Bonus directory you can find the following apps:

eXoCrunch - Compression software
DBGL 077b + Converter - Conversion software for use with Dosbox game Launcher

A list of all new games can be found in the games list.

I think I've seen those on Pleasuredome (Which sounds like porn really.) but that was probably older versions.

EDIT: Yeah it seems the recent additions are v.2s of those packs.

eXoDOS Vol I: Adventure, Version 2.0 119.406 GB
eXoDOS Vol II: RPG, Version 2.0 18.100 GB
eXoDOS Vol III: Strategy, Version 2.0 49.412 GB
eXoDOS Vol IV: Sim/Sports/Racing/Edu, Version 2.0 95.981 GB
eXoDOS Vol V: Action, Version 2.0 93.163 GB (Which has a little 4x spinning near it, guess it means 4x more seed credit, which also sounds like porn.)

Yep they are all new packs, although you can just direct the torrent to the older packs and it will cut the download in half if not more while updating what needs to be updated.

Took me 5mins to get the RPG while it took nigh on 4hrs to get the Sim/Sports Wink

Just played Simon the Sorc and unlike the previous version you can select dosbox or scummv and it worked straight away. Genewars also works now as it didn't before, best retro torrent ever!
