DOS Game Club
DOS Game Club is an online community dedicated to classic DOS games and offering a podcast and a forum. Every month, they focus on one game, trying it and discussing about it and engaging in activities that can help them get to know the game well and getting in touch with people who may have been involved in its development or otherwise related to it. At the end of the month, they record a round-table podcast. The community is based on https://www.dosgameclub.com.
The Club has been active since at least March 2017, when they featured their first game: Doom. In June 2023, the game chosen for focus was Stunts, which led to an encounter between them and our community.
Contact between the communities
In May 2023, some DOS Game Club members began registering in ZakStunts and Race For Kicks. The ZakStunts shoutbox welcomed them to ZCT262 - Coastal Revenge, while Race For Kicks was happy to receive the newcomers for 2023-06 - Tina Turner. Joining our scoreboards were Tijn, Spoonboy and DJ_HiP. They soon told us they were coming from DOS Game Club because Stunts would be the star of the following month. Some Stunts community members, like Cas and Marco joined their forum and began participating there too.
The Club opened a Stunts Leaderboard at https://www.dosgameclub.com/stunts-leaderboard/?page=overview on 10 June with some tracks with a free-style rule set by strictly forbidding replay handling. On 20 June, Cas uploaded 4:00am to the Leaderboard. At this point, it isn't clear if it will become a sort of permanent competition that will remain open indefinitely or whether it will close when the next game gets focus at DOS Game Club.
