Retro Gaming February 2026 (4 Comments) (link)

This month's "Retro Let's Play" for February isn't a single game.

Welcome to eXoDOS

click for the thread!

Covering 4 decades and 7633 MS-DOS games (so far), eXoDOS is ready to play, including manuals, videos, and extra content.
There's a "media add-on pack", 220gb of scans and rips of Magazines, Books, Catalogues, Soundtracks, and TV Shows\Documentaries related to the MS-DOS games era, expect to lose several hours if not days in there.

There just isn't enough space in a 100 forum posts to describe this incredible work, you really just have to dive in and try it out yourself. I highly recommend you start with the lite version and the media pack, but all signs point to yes, you will be back for the full release soon enough.

Don't be afraid to jump in and try. There's no competition, need to complete the games or post high scores. It's all about the experience, the subjective nostalgia, and the objective history of the titles.
