This project is a game preservation initiative focused on classic and nearly “lost” titles that are disappearing from the modern internet. It curates a small but carefully selected collection of DOS games and classic mini-games into CD-sized ISO images, rather than overwhelming users with gigantic, unorganized archives. One disc collects 64 high-quality DOS classics, many of which are now hard to find or are often bundled with malware when downloaded from random sites. Another disc compiles around a hundred simple, highly replayable Windows and Flash mini-games that are easy to pick up and play without online services or microtransactions. Each game is documented with screenshots and written descriptions including publisher, developer, genre, and a short summary to preserve context and nostalgia, not just the files. The repository also lists multiple mirror links and MD5 checksums so people can verify integrity and avoid corrupted or tampered images.
