Has anyone tried zoom-platform.com?

Looks like it has a lot of games I haven't seen in decades. I want to grab some of them, but I'm not familiar with the website.

Yes, through some legal magic they're the only site to sell the older (best) version of Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition. I had never used them before buying that but they gave me 0 issues, everything worked perfectly and it was DRM free, with lots of bonus content too.

cool, that's what I was wondering

Thanks!

Never heard of them. But if you want to play old dos/win3x era games, you might want to give http://retro-exo.com a shot. ExoDOS v6 recently released, and there is a lite version. They attempt to archive all DOS games (or win3x games for exoWin3x) it might also have most games you're looking for.

Woah! I can't believe some of the titles they have on there. 3D Dinosaur Adventure? Ruff's Bone?! How did they get they get the licenses for this stuff?

I'm curious too, some of the games look like they're from publishers that closed, got sold, bankrupt, etc. it must have been a process hunting down where the assets and licences ended up

Holy shit, Math Blaster 9-12. You just threw me back SO far. I just had a vivid image in my mind's eye of the home office I played it in.

Thank you for the throwback.
