I was searching for this famous DOS based game... came across this link: http://users.pandora.be/mpq/software/dosgames.htm where have all those nice DOS games we used to play in those good old days gone? Having accustomed to Linux these days, I've been trying out a bunch of small games on X, when I remembered that lovely game of carmen. whew! what a nice game it was! On linux, though, I've got attached very much to the Bubbles, Tux Racer. Nice, little games! UPDATE: need gmail account? I still have few left.. scroll down to the bottom and leave your email id on the thread. will send ya one ;)

UPDATE: (March 2005) There are loads of gmail invites with me now. Just ask! (you can help get rid of them). Even freegmailinvites has stopped taking donations. ok, I've just got two more invites. I remember many of you asking me for gmail invites previously... But don't remember who all had asked for it! So, the first ones to ask me for an account, will get one each from the gmail invites I have ;) Update: 6 more invites! whew! All those who're still looking for it, can help me get rid of them. Update: (Feb 2005) Looks like google's become far more generous to gmail seekers now... I've been getting 50 invites to give away each time. So, all those who (still) need it, can just leave their email address here. Note : If yours is a yahoo, hotmail address, please check the bulk mail folder of your account once you leave your mail id here.
