i d/l'ed that from there last year, dont have it now but still, i think the sound wouldn't work on mine, BUT that could have been when my sound was screwed up anyway or it could have been coz i'm on XP, which seems to muck up sound on old games anyway, 'specially dos ones

Yup, winXP has huge problems running dos-based games, and if it runs then it usually bums out on the sound.

There are a few solutions to this, but most aren't very straightforward. The first is to tweak the game and it's setup so it will work under winXp, but that's most of the time a bit of a pain, plus every game needs its "personal" tweaking so you'd bedoing it over and over again.

Then there are some emulators. There is "virtual pc", which allows you to run an OS within an OS, so you can run Win98 in there and thén run the dos games in win98. Needless to say this is very memory-intensive (so not for "simple" pc's), plus it requires you to have a win98 cd lol.

There's , which is open source freeware and doesn't require any other fancy things but sadly doesn't support all dos-based games. (even if a lot)

their forum, VOGONS (Very Old Games On New Systems) is also a great source of help.


But, the best and simplest way of getting all this shit fired up is simply digging up on old pc of yours or buy one off a mate/familymember. Install win98 on it and enjoy the games. God how i love win98. (within the boundries of loving any OS )
