1. Not to be a downer...

... but every time I ever downloaded something from that site, it had a virus.

3. I'd try GoG

Sure, you have to pay, but they mostly are set to run without having to fool around with emulators and dosbox and such. And it's useful to have disk-free versions of games you still like to play, especially if they were on floppy when you first owned them.

4. We played Lunar Lander on Ti 960/980 computers in the 70's.

When we were supposed to be fixing the boards.
But it was a good way to test them.

5. Joust.

I learned all the tricks and could simply play till I got tired of it.

6. I really enjoyed Sierra games and the like

Quest for Glory in particular, because it had a mix of puzzle elements and video game action and multiple story lines. Also, King's Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, Colonel's Bequest, Space Quest and the like.

They all still work great inside DosBox, and I still think they're more fun to play than most modern FPS.

9. You should!

I think they hold up quite well.

8. King's Quest and Monkey Island!

I still have Monkey on floppies, in the original box...along with the Pick-A-Pirate wheel. I have two daughters and these games enchanted us.
