Software is the essence of computing. It is the bits and bytes that make using our wonderful hardware possible. Without it, our computers would remain nothing more than heavy paperweights with some blinky lights. It is also deceptively difficult to categorize in any meaningful way. There are many archives online with various methods of categorizing vintage software. Since this site is designed to work specifically on legacy computers, I have chosen to categorize software here by the operating system it supports. |

Please Note: While this site was created to work on vintage computers, even tested in Netscape Navigator on Windows 3.11, many of the links to other sites and projects won't work due to modern HTTPS. There is sadly nothing I can do about that. FrogFind! search engine does bridge the gap somewhat though. Please give them a try!
