Question sites dedicated to windows 9.x games

hey guys,
i noticed that most abandonware sites such as abandonia only really center around games that were dos compatible and most of these are floppy based games. i know there is an iso cellar here which is dedicated mainly to cd-rom based windows 9.x games but it is quite small. i dont want to sound like a heretic but are there any other sites out there that specialize in windows 9.x cd-rom abandonware?

thanks!!!!!

Yes, certainly, there are such sites.

most of them host `protected` software as well so i'm not allowed to tell you because of the forum rules and gay esa, etc

but keep on searching, you'll get there. you might also in the torrenter's neck of woods

So you aren't happy with my offerings to the ISO Cellar, Eightba1?

dont get me wrong i love the iso cellar and i think its a great idea. but it is in my opinion, kind of off to the side compared to all the DOS games we have here. i guess more specifically im looking for sites, that are centered around cd-rom (iso) abandonware that were made for windows 9.x systems. and yes i know they offer a lot of that stuff on torrent sites, but those sites lack a community and sites like the almighty abandonia have so much more depth.

Well, keep your eyes open. We're expanding AB's scope to include more Windows titles - but we need reviews.
Hmm, maybe you could be persuaded to help out with that?
