Is Abandonware DOS safe?

There’s a common misconception about abandonware: many people believe that because it involves old games, there's little to no security involved. That’s simply not the case, at least, not on Abandonware DOS. Every single game available on this site has been tested to ensure i'’s safe to use.

Each game undergoes a testing process. They are run on a computer equipped with multiple layers of protection, including antivirus and anti-malware tools. In fact, I ran them all on my computer. These measures are essential to guarantee that the games are free from harmful software or unwanted surprises.

However, it's important to acknowledge the possibility of false positives. Sometimes, your antivirus software may flag a game as containing a virus when, in reality, it's safe. This can happen due to the nature of older software, which may use coding practices or methods that modern security tools mistakenly interpret as malicious.

While I cannot vouch for the practices of other abandonware sites, I can confidently assure you that I take every necessary precaution to maintain a safe collection of games on Abandonware DOS.
