## Description

This MCP server provides AI assistants with access to classic DOS games through a web-based js-dos emulator, built by Basement Studio using TypeScript and Express. The implementation includes four pre-configured games (DOOM, Super Mario, Tetris, and Duke Nukem 3D) with custom key mappings and controls, automatically launching games in Chrome with both local file support and CDN fallback options. Built with port management starting from 5555, server lifecycle controls, and a retro terminal-styled interface with fullscreen support, it serves developers wanting to integrate nostalgic gaming experiences into AI workflows, teams building entertainment applications, and users seeking interactive DOS game access through conversational interfaces with proper game controls and visual feedback.
