I have a terabyte or so of DOS game ISOs mostly ripped from my personal collection (mostly FPS games and adventure games) that I amassed in the late 90s when I was like 13-- I lived in Texas with nothing to do at the time, and I'd mow lawns/pick weeds for neighbors, and we had Software Etc., CompUSA, Incredible Universe, and Cyber Exchange here locally.

Used to raid the bargain bins, and regularly picked up boxed copies of games for under 2$

I remember hosting some of them at a time in neschat or junkyard along with Sqwirl for a while, actually.

Here's the contents of just the ISO folder for FPS games: Clicky

If anyone is looking for anything in particular, I'd be happy to dig around and upload it.

Holy shit, you know, I'll gladly take the Doom 1.1, 1.2, and all the Rise of the Triad stuff if you wouldn't mind. That's quite a collection and I'll definitely be hitting this thread up if I remember anything else I'd like. Thanks a bunch

Okay, I have them all uploaded for you!

The diskette images are in .img and .ima formats, which can be mounted or opened with WinImage.

The CD images are in .mdf/.mds format, and .iso format for the ROTT site license. I think pretty much anything these days will read mdf and mds, but they used to be an Alcohol 120% format.

Dropbox link here!

Awesome! Downloading now. I don't think I'll have too much trouble running 'em with MagicISO and WinImage. I do happen to have a copy of Alcohol 120% so I've got all my bases covered. I've always wanted to check out the early versions of Doom and the expansions of ROTT so this is very much appreciated. Thanks again!
