    also like your colleciton of applications and abandonware – , i dont suppose you would consider hosting a zip file of the whole collcetion for download ? ;-).. *grins*. i wish everyone did that !

    whats your favorite old game for an xt ? 😉

    • Thanks! I loved the Keen games growing up, they’re lots of fun 🙂
      I’d love to post a full collection zip, however I am somewhat limited on space for my webhost plan I am on, so to save space for new content and photos of the collection I can’t really duplicate all the downloads in a 2nd archive.
      Favorite PC/XT era game would probably be the old ASCII text based StarTrek or PacMan games, they would run on literally just about any DOS machine, and are still quite fun.
