You are running Adblock...
We're really sorry for the inconvenience, but please would you disable your ad-blocker? Our adverts are relevant and non-intrusive, they appear only at the top and the sides, never in the content. They don't include auto-playing audio either, they really won't spoil your enjoyment of the site. Thank you in advance!
Want to see this appeal go away forever? Support us on Patreon and we'll make that happen! Click the button on the left to find out more.
"I'm not running an ad-blocker!" - Refresh/reload the page, if you still see the panda or have other problems then click here to contact us immediately, thanks.
"Why are you doing this?" - Frankly we're struggling to make ends meet here especially since the site got more popular. The only way we can think to cover our costs is to run ads, but if so many of you keep blocking them...
"But I never click ads!" - Doesn't matter, you should only click them if they interest you. We get paid based on the number of views AND the number of clicks.
"You ruined the site!!!1! I want to send you hate mail!!" - Sure, click here.
Another fact - We have the software and the power to completely block adblock users from our site, but we're not going to, at least for now. We figure most of you would like to support us and you only installed Adblock because of other sites that aren't so considerate with their ad placement. Please, don't punish us because of them, in the seven or so years I've been a blogger/webmaster I've ALWAYS considered the need to balance monetisation with reader experience. I want to build an audience not send them away.
So go on, whitelist us and any other site you love. If it wasn't for ads, the internet would lose a whole chunk of really great niche content like this, which would be a real shame in our opinion.
Now, go ahead and read the page if you want to, but wouldn't it be much more convenient if you just whitelisted us? :)
First of all, apologies for no new content for a while. I’ve been really busy with my other site, videogameperfection.com
Sadly, Play-Old-PC-Games.com was built around an older plugin for WordPress that’s now discontinued and abandoned. When this finally broke with an update of PHP, much of the site stopped working properly. I’m kludging things around to keep it together for now, but it’s not a great solution.
I enjoy working on this site and intend to find a way forward, but I’m not sure how I’m going to do that yet. I don’t mind investing a little money, so I’ll take a more detailed look at how to fix this in the near future.
For now, please bear with me!
Edit – Since some folks asked, the plugin we can no longer use is https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-taxonomies-tools/
Update 27/01/20 – Thanks to Jan at https://consoles4you.ch/ for helping us with a band-aid fix!
If anyone knows a more permanent workaround/solution, please get in touch.

Thanks for the update :)
I hope you keep this site going because you’ve produced some very useful guides for older games such as NOLF and Forsaken.
Anyway, I build sites using WP, but I can’t find out what gd-taxonomies actually does.
There is a discussion here:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/importing-gd-custom-settings-posts-and-taxonomies-tools-2/
Some suggest using ‘Types’, a similar plugin?
Thanks for all the hard work!
It’s for custom taxonomies, e.g stuff like date a game was published, who published it, how well it works etc. Types is discontinued too :(
