Short description
dosgame.club is the fediverse home of <a href="https://dosgameclub.com">DOS Game Club</a>. People here are all in one way or another involved with retro computing or retro gaming.
Long description
This is the Mastodon instance of DOS Game Club, a monthly podcast and online community about games that run on MS-DOS. Think book club, but for DOS games. We have forums over at our website https://www.dosgameclub.com and an IRC chat room called #dosgameclub on AfterNet

The DOS era (starting in the early 80s and ending in the late 90s) produced a vast wealth of amazing games. A lot of these titles have been overlooked or forgotten, which we feel is a great shame, as there is a lot we can learn and enjoy from them.

With DOS Game Club we attempt to share our fondness of these often quirky old games, discuss their (many) merits and (equally many) failings and save a record of their existence for future generations.

Whether you've been a fan of DOS games all your life, or you've only just now become interested in them, everyone is welcome in our little club!
