Found in the closet

In digging around through things, I turned up a bunch of floppies for old DOS and Windows 3.1 games. They're probably completely useless now -- doing anything with them would require the relevant OS, hardware emulation, a floppy drive, and the disks actually being good -- but at the same time it's emotionally tricky to part with them. Sniff. In among there is Darklands (a medieval RPG that I never quite got into the plot on), A-Train (a train system simulator where the world grew around the trains; tricky), Unnatural Selection (breed monsters to battle other monsters), the original Master of Orion, and RoboSport (much like RoboRally but computerized and with less interesting terrain).
Probably the best thing would be to move all of the floppies on to a single CD. SIPB would be a great place to do this if it existed. watertown might be coerced into working too. I bet there's a Linux DOS emulator that could be told "yeah, um, just use this floppy image file", and at least one of them would work.
