DOS Games Discussion

Hello, I finally got around to upgrading PHP to 8.2, all seems normal, please let me know if anything odd happens.

Thanks for this post, I just noticed it now but I will definitely try some of these

Hello, further to the previous post about upgrading PHP, the website has been migrated by my host to a new server. Everything seems like it's working but if you notice any problems please let me know. Contacting me via email (webmaster at dosgames dot com) is definitely quicker than messaging me on ...

Hello, I am going to be moving the website to a new server soon and need to update the PHP version to at least 8.0. I updated to 8.1 earlier tonight and after clicking around I haven't noticed any issues, but if you notice any errors / warnings / etc please let me know, thank you!

Greetings, and happy holidays! PHPBB update to 3.3.11 today, please let me know if there's anything amiss.

And many, many years later, Speedy by Homebrew Software was finally added to DOSGames.com proper

Hi all, Today there was an issue with the site, too long to explain here but essentially the same as the issue described here: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2493956 I've tried to mitigate it as much as possible but you may get a "forum unavailable" message sometimes, my a...

I love coming across specialized sites like this ... no doubt the largest collection of DOS minesweeper-like games available on the web:

Also for most other computer platforms

Any thoughts on what to do with Tommy's Toys? https://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/tommys-toys/so,1d/list-games/ There are over 100 listed on Mobygames, while "Tommy" (T. L. Winslow) mentions "over 200" on this old page: http://tlwinslow.weebly.com/announcements-to-the-world.ht...

Hello, just remembered that I saw this post many months ago but never made the change, this is now live. You can now select 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020+, thank you for the suggestion!

:thumbsup: I'm planning to go to 8.0 soon and then 8.1, since according to phpbb docs they do fully support 8.1 and there's no reason (AFAIK) that it would cause any problems for the main site. (Not coincidentally my current task at my day job is making sure all the websites work in 8.0 so they can ...

Hello,

I just upgraded PHP from 7.3 to 7.4. I have done testing locally and on a staging site, and since it's a minor version update and PHPBB3 officially supports 7.4 I don't anticipate any issues. But if you notice any please report them here or contact me directly, thank you!

Yup, 3.3.8. Woo.

See anything weird? Let me know! Thanks!

Wow thanks Tom for all of that info, always fascinating to hear how people get started and where it takes them! I'll condense your post down into a bio and add it to the Wizard Systems page. Also I'll mention it here since you may be interested, I am just reading the section of the new Shareware Her...

Hello Tom, welcome! I agree, it's always great to hear from authors, and especially if we can provide registered versions of the games. Your software has received over 10,000 views (at least, since those games were added) so clearly there is some interest in them. If you'd like to provide a bio of y...

Sounds like Dink Smallwood?
