Total DOS Collection (TDC) release #18 - August 2020

#18 highlights:

It's been a year since the last release, but we haven't taken any time off. Gigs of new material, thousands of new files, hundreds of bugfixes, tens of new folders, and one stunning new ANSi by VileR await you inside.

Our best release ever!

Since 2007, the TDC group has worked to document, sort, rename, catalog, and scrub everything that is DOS. Similar to other renaming groups, the collective work is presented in a CRC based .dat file which can be loaded into "ROM" scanning tools (we use DATScan or DOSCenter) to assist in identification of DOS files. The .dat file is built off our archive of material and is updated several times per week. The latest .dat file is always available on our website.

Every 6 months (or sometimes a year), a snapshot of the archive is released to the world as a celebration to the IBM platform. Each snapshot supersedes the previous one, as new files are added, typos fixed, and the occasional file pruned.

Subject: The torrent file on this collection is incorrect

Just so people don't get fooled into downloading the wrong thing. The torrent file in this collection is NOT the right content. It's for 19, and only has 2.2G content. There's no torrent for the actual collection 18 archive. Hopefully someone can fix and upload the right file.

Subject: Love it

When downloading with program it says some of the archives are password protected, is it just blank or what is the PW?

Otherwise seems like a good download if i can just get the files unzipped lol.

Subject: Total Dos Collection 19 is out

Just to let you know, Total Dos Collection #19 is out not. There are around 750 new games and importantly loads of FIXES over the #18 release.

Subject: Love these collections!

This collection is amazing! I had #16 and now look forward to the changes up through #18.

I just wish they had incremental updates. This is a lot to keep downloading every time.

Subject: Great set but only games

I had trouble getting the applications subfolder from the Games folder as both Chrome and Firefox said a virus is present. I finally downloaded the individual files from it using a non-browser program. I then scanned the folder with a registered copy of ESET NOD32 Antivirus which found nothing, and typically catches and removes viruses the second they land on a drive just fine, without needing a manual scan. Not sure what that's about, but proceed with caution. Might be worth using a later DOS virus scanner on stuff from that folder before using, especially if you're not using a one-off VM etc.

This is a great collection, but the zips under The main Applications folder are all empty. I'd love to see that part of the collection as well. It is curious that they are included at all, not mentioned in the description as being empty, and I've seen no other mentions of it. Almost like they weren't empty at first and something was later removed. Why else include a folder with 0 byte zip files? If there's some text in the collection explaining it, I haven't run across it.

In any case, this should be the total DOS GAMES Collection, since that's all it covers. Still an excellent collection, and it does include game-related applications, but good luck downloading the file as browsers say it has a virus.

***** Game collection
**** Due to missing the applications
*** An explanation for the virus warning would be helpful.

Subject: TDC 19 ??

Confused about the comment below about this being Total Dos Collection 19??
I've just downloaded TDC 19 and it is different.
A user called 'English.Sheep.Shagger' uploaded it to the eye.

Subject: Awesome collection!

This is an awesome collection paired with PC Zone magazine older issues. So thankful I've made a couple donations to Internet Archive.

Subject: One of the best collections that is out there

I looked at the Total DOS Collection 13, and if this collection is an indicater of what is new, then it has to be the best collection of DOS Games that is out there. I am just downloading the entire thing , should take days but totally worth it. I give this collection the highest rating that is possible. Note that this archive is not Total DOS # 18 but Total DOS # 19, a bonus.
