I've managed to read those old floppies without errors and I've put the contents on-line. You can download them from here.

All games more or less work in DOSBox. Nethack has some problems with display (it says it needs some driver loaded in config.sys to work correctly). Spacewar works best if you use Hercules emulation (dosbox -machine hercules)

To run Ranadinn in DOSBox, follow these steps:

1. Run DOSBox: dosbox -machine hercules
2. Mount C drive in DOS: mount c /path/to/ranadinn
3. c:
4. Run SIMCGA (for some reason DOSBox CGA emulation isn't good enough for this games): simcga40.com
5. Run Ranadinn. You will have to type this blindly because SIMCGA messes up DOSBox' prompt: ranadinn.com
6. Enjoy.
