What Discmaster actually is

Discmaster indexes the contents of vintage CD-ROMs and floppy collections held by the Internet Archive, converting what it finds so that it opens in a browser. Search a filename, a MIDI, a 1994 clip-art bundle or a shareware game and play it without touching an emulator.

Why it is worth your time
