Kazaa, but no one uses it anymore, and merely getting it to connect to its network would be a small miracle.

With that said, there are many working sources and abandonware sites from which you can get all the old games you want.

Hey I like the site myabandonware.com . Found some games I haven't played in decades.
I am using win7-x64. How do you think I will be able to play these. Any easy and small simulator for them?

DOSBox and virtualization are the most commonly used methods.

Thanks. Used dosbox, runs fine.
Just played an old racing game lotus, was my favorite. Pixelated video and mono sound. Awesome.
Older games are tough though. I never loose in nfs.
