'''PC Booter''' is the common term for [[video game]]s for [[IBM PC compatible]] [[computer]]s that run on self-booting disks with custom operating systems rather than on the [[DOS]] variants by [[IBM]], [[Digital Research]], or [[Microsoft]] that were common on this platform.
 
These were typically used as a type of copy protection, and were available commercially from [[1981]] to [[1991]], after which the format became obsolete as games became larger.
 
Freeware games were released after the commercial use of the format, and developers of freeware continue to release PC Booter games to this day.
 
==Use of the term==
The term PC Booter refers specifically to games on IBM PC compatible computers, however other systems had games on self-booting disks as well.

See PC Booter category

PC Booter is the common term for video games for IBM PC compatible computers that run on self-booting disks with custom operating systems rather than on the DOS variants by IBM, Digital Research, or Microsoft that were common on this platform.

These were typically used as a type of copy protection, and were available commercially from 1981 to 1991, after which the format became obsolete as games became larger.

Freeware games were released after the commercial use of the format, and developers of freeware continue to release PC Booter games to this day.

Use of the term

The term PC Booter refers specifically to games on IBM PC compatible computers, however other systems had games on self-booting disks as well.
