Major Update III: Phase I. It's been about a year since the last Major Update, so it's time for another massive overhaul of the site. Added greatly improved screenshot software. Redesigned the webshrines to pop-up full-size images of the thumbnails in the level maps to make it easier to follow along as you're playing. Oh, and since this is still a game site, I added some new games.
Added a Slam! Webshrine.
Added 3 games: Chomp for Windows, Hyperoid, and Warheads for Windows.

Visitors of Classic DOS Games have used 1.5 TB of bandwidth so far this year. It seemed like a notable milestone.

Got permission from Escape Programming to distribute Thor's Hammer as freeware, our 26th liberated game.
Please stop sending donations of $0.01! Some people are still contributing to the long-dead Have a Penny, Donate a Penny campaign, in which I encouraged visitors to donate a bit of pocket change, or even a single penny, to websites that they appreciate. If even a small fraction of visitors donated a single penny, small websites would earn enough revenue to cover their expenses. Unfortunately, PayPal charges a fee of 1.9% to 2.9% on all payments, and they round up to the nearest cent, so the fee on a donation of $0.01 is $0.01. 100% of all pennies donated are kept by PayPal, and I have to refund your pennies to prevent PayPal from keeping them. I appreciate your willingness to donate, but I'd rather you keep the pennies than give them to PayPal. Please put your pocket change in a Salvation Army donation globe, or a busker's guitar case, or to a homeless person. PayPal has enough pennies already!
