POLL: Still play any DOS games?

[Electrode]

I'm very, very bored, and creating polls resolves boredom to some extent. This is a question that, as uninteresting as it is, seems worthwhile.

It's nothing special. Four P133 boxen and a 10MBit hub.

Ok, hands up who else remembers having to make custom boot disks for each game in order to get enough conventional RAM!

Wow, nope never had that problem. Luckily I never had to run it on anything less than a P166. The other version was called X-Wing right? I think I still have that game, I should dig it out and play it. Damn those games rocked

My first ever rig was a 8088 running at a blazing 4.77mhz on a B&W monitor We "rented" it from a friend for a penny. (Rather, he gave it to us and the penny was collateral) Ahh, such fond memories. I loved the sound it made when you parked the hard drive

WOW! Someone who remembers "parking a HD"

I wish I could still play Wing Commander. My install disks got corrupted 5 or 6 years ago.

 

[ThaGrandCow]

I can't play any DOS games anymore... I would love to play Duke Nukem sometime, but Windows XP just doesn't want to play them

One of these days I'm going to build an old P166 system so I can bring back the classics. In the meantime, does anyone know any emulators for XP (other than the BS "compatibility" mode that never works)

 

[Feldenak]

I still play Master of Magic.
