In these times we should all be self isolating and taking all the necessary precautions laid out to us by our respective governments. I would urge all of you to do this. It is also evident to me that the number of people accessing this resource is increasing every day as a result of people spending more time in isolation. At theoldcomputer.com we are going to do everything we can to help you enjoy this resource and to do our part in any way we can. I have made as much of the site FREE to download as I sensibly can and I invite you all to spend some time playing and using the collection that is stored here. PMJPlay (Curator for the Emulator Section) is working flat out to keep them all up to date so that you can run these games on as many different systems as possible.We are very active on DISCORD if you would also rather chat live with us and the forums have a massive amount of stored knowledge and resource as well.We ask you all to enjoy this site and its contents, if you are able to we would ask that you please donate to keep us running. We run from hand to mouth every month so every cent you send us really matters.Stay safe everyone and enjoy some retro gaming.

If you tried to donate in the past 24 hours and you received what looked like a completion but it said TEST, then no money was taken and you were not upgraded.

Stay Tuned.URGENT Appeal for Help !Mon Nov 04, 2019 6:32 pm | by Hot Trout | 5 commentsWe are making an appeal to everyone that uses and has used this website since 1999. ROM sites are under threat across the web. This site is one of the oldest and by far has the largest collection of rom's anywhere. Unfortunately however this costs money to run and without that money there is no way to keep the servers alive. We are asking you all to please do 3 things ;1. Make a donation today, as much as you can afford. Please.2. Spread the word quickly, every way you can. Social, forums or just call a friend.3. SHARE this message across the web to help increase the awareness.If there is no improvement in the level of income that we receive, the future looks bleak. After 20 years of retro gaming and computing and with over 180,000 members during that time, this could all come to an end.I urge you all to please help. The entire site is run by volunteers who give their time and support for free. But we still need money to pay the hosting, registration and storage.Thank you in advance.
