A DOS emulation program.

Absolutely essential for emulating DOS not just within Windows or a traditional Linux environment, but within ARM/Linux as well, for palmtops and phones.

For games I’ve played via it, see /tag/dosbox-games (although the tag is new and not populated well)

Excellent, but awfully slow.

A P2P daemon, which requires a network protocol such as openFT or gnutella. Any number of frontends are also recommended.

So far, giFT has proved to do what it is made for. Most problems will appear to me to be the fault of the frontend, but there may well need to be certain features inserted into either the openFT protocol, the giFT daemon or the frontend.. it’s difficult to say.

The software hasn’t had an update since 07 May 2005!

An audio player.

A really fucking inexcusably-ugly audio player. Thankfully abandoned.

Note that xmms.org is not their website! See What ever happened to XMMS.ORG?
Can use the libSIDPlay2 plugin to play Commodore SID audio. See Oldschool music.
XMMS2 might have been a replacement, but it’s apparently abandoned too.
bmp was meant to be a GTK port, but it was ultimately abandoned.

A ubiquitous file compression program.

Also unzip
I don’t use the GUI version, I use 7zip for that, or the built-in manager for Windows (various versions)

A chat AddOn.

I use it to eliminate my need to hold alt to move my cursor back and forth while typing into the chat box, and to move that box to the top so can move the whole chat area down further.
