PC Booters

This page lists all the PC Booter titles I know of. For those wondering what a PC booter is/was, it's essentially a game that does not require an operating system to be loaded first. You just put the game disk in the floppy drive and start the computer.

PC Booter disks were usually not readable once in DOS due to their non-standard number of tracks or sectors. The purpose of making them in this way was to prevent them from being easily duplicated (pirated).
