You may notice that most NES games now have box art scans, screenshots, and PDF user manuals that you can read directly in your browser, right here on DOS Gamer.
A few changes have been made this month including....
A few group/forum tweaks, also fixed user posts count.
Added a karma rating, calculated from gameplay, likes, posts, downloads, comments, etc
Added Member Levels in profiles and forums, DOS Gamer Fan, DOS Gamer Pro*, DOS Gamer Staff.
Tidied up the registration pages and profile pages.
Country can now be edited in profile settings (but only if we detect a different one than on your profile)
A few tweaks to the /games/ page. including a tag cloud, and a few new options like country trends.
Also added a new flash game section containing 2000+ games. They play in your browser without a flash plugin.
Finally I imported all the 'old news' from the older version of this site.
Well that's all for this update. More cool things coming soon.
PS: Any new ideas are always welcome. * A secret invitation only account ;)
It's been a busy week, Lots of updates and improvements!
Forum improvements
The forum has an improved input interface, you can embed images, emoticons and files, insert Tables, Format text sizes and colours and more.
Avatar support.
Upload your avatar and personalise your profile.
Did your mean?
A lot of searches where returning no results, due to mis-spelled search keywords.
For example: Jass Jackrabbit, Mortal Combat.
In these instances a 'Did You Mean' Banner will appear and suggest the closest match.

Some games now have cheats listed on the page. If you know more please share them in the cheat group.

Hello and Welcome to the all new DOSGamer.com (It only took 12 years)
With over 7000 fully playable DOS games, Save game support, and a better design, DOS Gamer is now easier to use than ever. This has been a two year project and a complete rewrite. The site has not previously been changed since 2008.
DOS Gamer is the community for DOS games, play DOS Games, interact with other users, use groups to ask other members questions.
That's right its been 9 years since anything at all happened to DOS Gamer. I have re-enabled the registration option, if only to stop many emails I've had about this over the years. Also the forum is working again, complete with all old posts and messages, have fun, also, a big update coming soon, I promise!
