Before id Software rocked the industry, its founders sharpened their skills inside Softdisk’s Gamer’s Edge—a tiny “disk-magazine” studio John Romero started in 1990. Working to a hectic one-game-every-two-months rhythm, the team unleashed some of shareware’s most memorable PC titles: shotgun-pumping platformer Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion, 3-D fantasy shooter Catacomb Abyss, side-scrolling sequel Dangerous Dave’s Risky Rescue, cerebral board battler Cyberchess, and the top-down alien blaster Xenopods.
Every one of these classics now launches instantly in your browser on this page—no setup, no fuss, full sound, and save support—so you can dive back into the raw, pre-DOOM magic of Gamer’s Edge completely free on BestDOSgames.
