I didnt know they were hosting the eXo collections. There are five:
Strategy:
https://archive.org/details/eXoDOSStr.v1.6

Action:
https://archive.org/details/eXoDOSAct.v1.6

Adventure:
https://archive.org/details/eXoDOSAdv.v1.6

RPG:
https://archive.org/details/eXoDOSRPG.v1.6

Simulation:
https://archive.org/details/eXoDOSSim.v1.6

And you can grab individual games inside of each.

There is a game in the Action pack called "ANAL - The Rectum Adventure." Looks like it sucks butt though.

played some captain bible where you use bible scriptures to blast robots and mutated people in order to save a space colony from satan. Interesting.

FWIW, I logged onto Pleasuredome for the first time in ages and apparently eXo's updated to 2.0 finally... plan on picking those up when I have some HD space to spare.

Worth mentioning that i uploaded v2.0 to Jason Scott, but he has been really slow in getting them up for download at archive.org.

They are *much* improved versions though. And I have win3x (Win3xO) coming this year. Approx 75% done currently.
