I saw in another thread where they showed a link to download older computer games, but can't remember the thread. What was the site?

French Kiss (http://abandonware.the-frenchkiss.biz/index.html):
Start here first! Great selection, minimal pop-ups and great download speed!
The Underdogs (http://www.the-underdogs.org/index.php):
They have great info on games and a large selection but the pop-ups and download structure gets a bit annoying, go here second.
AbadonWare Webring (http://www.abandonwarering.com/?Page=Listing):
Most every other site out there.

CSA2's Game site listings is a good place to start for Apple II games.

I'll second the Underdogs suggestion. The amount of info about old games stored there is absolutely astounding.

I'd put UD first. Just have your pop-up defences on before you go there and you're fine. Just remember that site only has the more obscure and less popular games.

Thanks for the links, I'm really liking the French Kiss site, UD doesn't really have the games I'm looking for.

How do I get ther games off of the French Kiss site to work, they just show up as .rar and ask me what program I want to open them with.

RAR is a kind of archive, like ZIP. You'll need a program that unpacks them... and if you're being prompted to choose one, then I'm guessing you don't.
Try 7ZIP. It's free, open-source and works with most major zip formats.
