What's new?
------------------------------------------------------------
- Download guide
We have made a download guide for the visitors of our site
who don't know how to extract (unzip) and run a game or
application. The guide is made for users of Windows and is
located at the following URL:
http://gamesarchive.etmnet.com/dowguide.html
- The MS-DOS Games Ring
We have made a webring which contains the most coolest
sites about MS-DOS games on the Internet. A webring is a
network of websites, which are linked up together with a
navigation panel, with which the visitors can navigate
through the webring.
If you like The Games Archive, you will like this ring!
The ring sites are about the same thing as The Games
Archive; cool MS-DOS games! If you want to take a visit,
go to this URL:
http://gamesarchive.etmnet.com/dosgamesring/index.html
- Applications section redesigned
The applications section at The Games Archive is
redesigned. Now all applications have a HTML document
with information, like developer, file size, version etc.
- All downloads temporarily not accessible
Due to an internal server error the visitors of The Games
Archive can't download any game or application. We are
looking for a solution. All games and applications will
be accessible again in a few days. Sorry for the
inconvenience.

- Cannon Fodder
Title: Cannon Fodder
Developer: Virgin Interactive Entertainment
Publisher: MVP Software
File size: 1,30 MB
Year: 1994
Version: Shareware
Rating: [x][x][x][x][x]
Cannon Fodder is a hilarious retail arcade game with loads
of cool graphics and witty game play. There are a lot
of levels in this game; we thought it was the full version!
But it's really the shareware version. Don't miss Cannon
Fodder, war has never been so much fun!
