FreeDOS was previously known as "Free-DOS" and originally as "PD-DOS." For a little trip down memory lane: In 1994, I was a physics student at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. Most of my work for school had been done using DOS - writing programs, dialing up to the university computer, network, analysing lab data, etc. I really loved DOS; I did everything with it. I had a 386 desktop system in my dorm room and an XT laptop that I would carry around with me to do work "on the go".

C-Dogs SDL is a port of the old DOS arcade game C-Dogs to modern operating systems utilising the SDL Media Libraries. In theory C-Dogs SDL should be able to run on Windows, MacOS X, BeOS and the other systems supported by SDL.

Genererally, the more UNIX like a system is, the greater the chance of C-Dogs working (MacOS X and BeOS people, I mean you guys).

C-Dogs SDL was ported to SDL by Jeremy Chin and Lucas Martin-King, using Gentoo Linux as their development environment.

C-Dogs is an arcade shoot-em-up which lets players work alone and co-operativly during missions, and against each other in the "dogfight" deathmatch mode. The DOS version of C-Dogs came with several built in missions and dogfight maps, this version is no exception.

The author of the DOS version of C-Dogs was Ronny Wester. See the "official" homepage for more details. We would like to thank him for releasing the C-Dogs sources to the public.
