It has games from a long time ago and all are free. It's Abandonia.com if you want to go see for yourself if they have any old favorites. I do believe they also include dosbox routines with the games downloaded.

Wow, used to play HoMM3 for almost 10 years. What a great game, always on custom maps, always at impossible level. There's expansion called " Wake of gods" also very good.

Here's the "Evil Overlord checklist". There are links to a variety of short stories about changing a light bulb in Star Trek there as well.
Also,why hydrogen powered engines can be dodgy.
And finally, they call it a jetpack race while it is really just a couple of guys flying around using jetpacks.
I'd like my flying car now.
As always, open the links at your own peril.
Third shift is fine for me, but I doubt it would work even a little bit for working on copiers. I should be on my merry way, I guess.
