OWI - oldwarez inc presents:

    1980's tiny warez pack

42 total warez ranging from 1982 to 1989

These packs were all painstakingly collected, tested and indexed by
me, XxDeThxX for OWI.  They are all 1989 or older, and are all under
100kb in size (compressed).  Many of them are very rare, some are
less rare..some were borrowed from OWI, DCW and 8088State's old-
warez collections.  In these cases a special note has been made, and
all the original NFO files have been left intact without modification.

MO'SLO.COM was included, its a utility to slow down your CPU to play
these games.  Your best bet are to get these on a 286 or slower if 
you have access to one, if not, there are a few things you can do to
slow down your current computer:  run windows (of course! :), set your
system speed to deturbo, turn off your system cache (these settings 
can be changed in most system BIOS'..dont forget to change them back 
when you are done playing!)  Some of these games may be slightly in-
compatible with your keyboard for whatever reason, so some times things
may not work right, and the most common problem is the games not exit-
ing.  Good luck, have fun with this large collection of games.  When 
you unzip be sure to use directory options, each game has been sorted
in its own subdir.

All files have been checked for viruses.

Thanks to: wendel on IRC for half of the games below, nobody in efnet
#oldwarez for his stockserv bot (Thats where I found Mo'Slo and Vari-
Slow), FuNGiSiDe - i borrowed a few games from him too, Gould on IRC
for sending me GWBASIC, and thanks again to nobody (or should i say
DrJekyl?) for putting a lot of cool 80s warez on the stockade cd.

Greets:  DPS, 8088state, #oldwarez, #1980warez, my fellow #owi'rs
