Hello Product Hunt community!
Remember those epic battles in Doom or the thrill of exploring Persia with the Prince? Classic DOS games defined a generation! But running them on modern systems can be a nightmare - who wants to deal with 10+ setup steps?
That's why I built WePlayDOS - a platform that leverages DOSBox and JS-DOS to bring those beloved titles directly to your browser, no downloads, no setup required! Just jump straight into the action and relive your childhood gaming memories.

Congrats on the launch and thanks for keeping it free! I tried the site out and the mouse sensitivity seemed too high for the games that I tried. Also any advantages of WePlayDOS over the ms-dos emulator available at archive.org?
@jayanthr Noted. Other folks are also experiencing the same thing. I am putting up a fix soon. Thanks for supporting!

Immediately sold. This is so cool, and I have always wanted to play Doom (it's janky but, I love the game from a young age). Having Civilization on here is just so good.
Really excited to get into a play session. Thanks @muditjuneja really great work!
@anubhav_gupta6 Gald I am able to help you relive your good old days! Keep playing and spread the retro love with your friends. Thanks for supporting! 🙂

Great launch! It is exciting to see these games being preserved and made accessible for new generations. The seamless gameplay experience it truly commendable.
Hey @muditjuneja this is just amazing 😻 so many childhood memories, especially like Worms, Transport Tycoon or Theme Hospital are one of my all time favorites 😎.
From my first tests, it seems that the mouse sensitivity is quite high. I just tested Transport Tycoon, any recommendations?
edit: and another question how to you handle stave states?
Congrats on the launch 🚀
Hey @crebuh!
Thanks so much for the kind words and for taking the time to test out WePlayDOS! I'm thrilled to hear that you're enjoying your favorite games.
You're absolutely right about the mouse sensitivity. On checking, I confirm that the sensitivity is being set to 100% at the start and can be configured. Let me fix that and get back to you.
Regarding save states, I am currently exploring on how can I hook into the dos filesystem but I assure you that it is gonna be there!
Please keep the suggestions coming! I'm eager to make WePlayDOS the best possible experience for everyone.
Thanks again for your support!
