Sure, your SLI-equipped rig can do gajillions of polygons running that first person shooter at 500 frames per second, and at high-def resolutions at that. But if you ever feel like taking a trip down memory lane, maybe you can relive your youth by playing those retro games that ran on DOS. Remember Alley Cat? What about Doom? Or the Duke Nukem series?

DOS Games Achive has a these games available for download. Some are free, some are shareware (or limited versions), and some remade versions of console games (like Super Mario).
