Exodos is SSS tier.
Holy crap, it lets you play over 7000 MS-DOS games, and it catalogues the settings required to make the games work so they all start with a click. The full version is a whopping 1TB(!!!!!), the lite version only contains metadata and is still 6GB, and when you go to install a game it downloads it using bittorrent from no doubt legal sources.
It even lists some of those old shareware games everyone has forgotten.
People who aren't old as the hills might not know this, but even if you had a top tier computer back in the 90s, you didn't have any guarantee that a game would run. I was subscribed to gaming magazines back then (as was the style at the time) and you'd have a game that didn't claim to need anything special, and it'd crash on startup -- completely dead, never to run. Same with some shareware, the stars aligned and it didn't want to run and it didn't matter what you did with your config.sys or autoexec.bat it wasn't running, so that's incredible that even for the old shareware stuff you can just click, download, and play.
