Wing Commander I !!

Tim

Two Words: Dos Box

This is probably old news, but it's new to me. There is this program, DosBox ((freeware - take a look here). It's an extremely simple install, works on everything (from Vista to Linux) and mimics Dos. Which means we can play wing commander ((freeware as well, take a look!!) and all those old dos games again.

There are thousands of old dos games out there for free, and with DosBox you can play them on modern dos-free computers. How cool is that?

Nice, I would definitely want to play Master Of Orion (the original)... does it work with sound as well?

heh, if you can use the term 'sound' to describe it, sure. it's fun to listen to two-bit sound again.

Poseidon

I usually set DosBox to emulate the original Sound Blaster.
