Welcome to Classic Gaming Arena!
What is this site all about?
In a nutshell, Classic Gaming Arena is a website based portal to link up with friends, family or just other gamers to play DOS based IPX network games over the Internet via the use of DOSBox and our small client program, the CGA Client. You can also run your own dedicated server using our CGA Dedicated Server software.
If you would like to know more, continue reading the overview in the help section. If you are ready to get started now, create an account, login and start setting up to wreak some old school multiplayer havoc. If you need some games, stop by our downloads section and grab some shareware and demo versions of games such as Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Quake and Descent.
What this site is NOT
This site and the CGA client/server were NOT designed to run DOS based emulators for game consoles. (ie: ZSnes, Nesticle, etc.) I have noticed that quite a bit of users have setup servers thinking they can some how make these emulators work for multiplayer. (They did not make it very far in their attempts either.) While the emulators do have multiplayer capabilities under DOS they are not setup to be selectable from the game configuration setup. Only DOS based games such as Doom, Quake, Descent and so on are selectable and configurable.
There are NO plans to support these emulators.
