 Take a step back in time and revisit your favorite DOS and Windows games. Demu is a concept I've been working on since 1998.  The website name has changed numerous times over the years, but it's always focused on old computer games and other interesting digital files.
-This website contains a curated sample of what I believe are some of the best files available in our full collection.  The full archive is over 14,000 files which is available directly through our [[https://archive.org/details/classicpcgames|Classic PC Games collection]] at The Internet Archive.  These files include primarily demo, freeware, and shareware games, and extras (cheats, documents, mods, trainers, etc.). These are the original releases which will require intermediate to advanced knowledge to install and run on modern operating systems. Where possible online play is supported so you can run them directly in your browser.

-We also have a collection of computer applications and other misc files are available in the [[https://archive.org/details/DEMU_Collection|The DEMU Collection]] at The Internet Archive. This collection differs from Classic PC Games, as it is primarily a quick automated process to make old archives available with limited meta data. Generally I try to provide a correct title, and some type of description. Online play will not be available.

+[[computercurrents|Computer Currents ]]
-I go through a lot of shareware and demo CD's to document old software and files.  This is my attempt to catalog what is available on many of these discs.
+Published from 1983 through 2000 Computer Currents (formerly Computer Classified) was a free computer magazine with multiple regional chapters across the country.
