In here you will find emulators and Roms for many weird and defunked formats as well as libraries full of material like commercials, magazines and manuals. Please make sure you read the Website Disclaimer before downloading any material.
This website is owned, designed and maintained by one person, namely myself, Hot Trout. As such it requires a lot of effort and money to develop. If you are a Retro Computing or Gaming fan please visit the How To Help page for full details on how to get involved.

Questions should go to the Forums please and comments to the Guestbook. You can also follow my BLOG and TWITTER for daily ramblings. Affiliates and sites wishing to link in can find all the information you need on the Link To Us page.

This site has 56,939 Roms, 22GB over 47 Formats, last update on Nov 2009.

  06-06-09 hot Website Updates & New Pages

I have been making a number of maintenance updates to the website over the past few days.  I have created a new How To Help page which points users to various ways in which you can become involved beyond just making a donation. 

For other site owners and possible affiliates I have also created a Link To Us page which houses some great new banners, buttons and skyscrapers to use for linking back to this site.  I have also been repairing the Commodore PLUS4 rom section and converting all the PRG files to ZIP to make them easier handled.  I trust you will find the changes all good.

  04-05-09 hot Three massive new rom sections added

ti99a4

The first new section to be added this holiday is the Texas Instruments Ti994a Roms Library. Its the complete collection of rom images for this great little 8bit computer from the 80's.

ti99a4

The next update was just as much fun and a great new resource for fans of this 8bit computer.  The Amstrad CPC Roms Library is now open with 5751 roms in its section

ti99a4

The final new section to be added this time is truly massive.  It is the entire Atari 8bit computer roms collection.  It covers all models like the 400, 800, 800XL, XE and variants.  This rom library has over 11,200 roms in various file formats.

I hope you enjoy this huge update.  Remember to follow my Twitters for up to the minute news and more great updates coming in the following weeks.

  11-04-09 hot Two new sections added

game and watch logo

The new Nintendo Game and Watch roms section has just been uploaded for all to enjoy.  If like me you were a child when these first appeared then you will love downloading and playing these games.  Unlike the other roms they do not require an emulator.  Just download and play on your PC.  Memories ..

enterprise 128

The Enterprise was a little known UK 8bit computer born in the 1980's. I have uploaded the new Enterprise 128 roms section for all to wonder at.

  01-03-09   Its our 10th Birthday

Its was March 1999 when I first registered the domain name that would become the mighty Old Computer Dot Com.  The last 10 years have wizzed past but I still love developing this site, answering your emails (a lot of emails), responding to the forums, uploading rom sets, blogging and generally being involved in all things retro.

Heres to the next 10 years, by which time I might even have finished uploading roms.  Possibly not though. :)

  05-01-09   Happy New Year

Welcome to 2009.  This year will be even bigger than 2008.  I am currently working on the complete revamp of the Emulators Library and hope to add dozens of new emulators.  Once completed I will adding a great many more formats of roms over the year and plan on making this site the most comprehensive collection of formats anywhere on the web..  A happy new year to everyone and remember to come back regularly over 2009..
