There are those who missed out on Dos gaming completely first time round but have finally got the chance to experience it. They probably download games based on the review, i know I do.

I only missed out on Dos Gaming because my parents wouldn't buy a computer. When I finally got a computer in 1998 it was pretty much too late! Now I'm finally able to play all the games I would have played years ago. To me, most of these games might as well be brand new because I've never heard of a huge proportion of them! How am I to know what to play without a good and thorough review.

And I think you'd find that group to be more 'major' than you expect. There are a good few members in their early teens who, no offence, are hardly old enough to remember Dos. There are probably also a lot of people like myself who didn't have computers then.

Also, I think the quality of reviews is what makes this site better than every other abandonware site and I think short, half-hearted reviews generally look s***!

Sorry about the :ranting: , I just needed to get that out of my system.
