Welcome to Dark Vault '98

"Where forbidden files and shareware legends live on..."

Step beyond the blinking banners and into the shadowy depths of retro computing. Here in the Dark Vault, we've exhumed the best shareware games, forgotten MS-DOS classics, and essential Windows 95/98 utilities that once ruled the cyber realm. Whether you're here to load up your BFG in Doom shareware, compress your digital soul with WinZip, or hunt down cheat codes scrawled in ANSI glory — you’ve found the right basement.

Featured in the Vault This Month:

Doom II Shareware - Rip and tear, pixel by pixel.
WinZip 7.0 - Because nothing says 1998 like compressing 4MB of JPEGs.
Cheat Sheet Central - Unlimited health? IDDQD, baby.
MIDI Zone (Coming soon!) - Featuring retro jams like "Song 2" and "The X-Files Theme."
