Let's go ahead and start things off with "Abandonware." Abandonware is software from a company that "abandoned" the game/program. Either through the company going out of business or the silly thing was too much of a hassle to deal with, the title is set on an ice float to drift in the see of 1's and 0's.
Luckily for classic gaming aficionados, you can bring some memories back by playing some old titles.
A few sites of interest to begin your abandonware collecting:
http://www.classic-gaming.net
http://www.abandonware.net
or if you have a specific title in mind:
http://www.freeoldies.com/index.php - this is a search engine that browses through many different abandonware sites.
One thing to note:
Your super-powered, nitrogen-cooled computer will probably laugh at these programs. Like other platforms, an emulator is preferred.
Check DosBox for an emulator and relive your DOS days.
