Abandonware DOS in 2020: what's changed and what's new

First of all, I would like to thank everyone who donated a few bucks to help me keep working on Abandonware DOS. THANK YOU, THANK YOU and again THANK YOU!

2020 will go down in history as the COVID year. I live in northern Italy, in one of the first regions to be hit heavily by the virus. Thank god I didn't catch it (as far as I know). I worked from home, mostly, and that gave me time to focus on Abandonware DOS.

Here's some of what I did this year to make Abandonware DOS better.

Remade the game info page: it's now loading faster and it's more informative
Added lots of excerpts from old video games magazines reviews
Remade the Recent remakes and ports section
Added a Abandoned remakes page
Tweaked and cleaned the web design across all pages
Cleaned Abandonware DOS from broken links
Remade the retro game collection section
Added the collector's corner with helpful info for big box game collectors like myself
Reviewed the info about multiplayer modes: more keywords, more modes, links to multiplayer modes

The site didn't change much, I chose to focus on content and added LOTS of games (even obscure ones I never heard about). I finally reached the 2000 games milestones and I have no intention to stop.

That's all!
