Eye of the Beholder 3
 
Hi,
Just moved house and when opening a box I found an old box containing the original Eye of the Beholder 3 for many many years ago. The sticker on the box says is compatiable with 386 and 486 computers!! ;)
I have all 4 disks, will this work on a maching running XP? I'd like a trip down memory lane!
Also found the box for Elite 2, Frontier. Had everything in there but the disks :(

By itself it probably won't. Fortunately there is something called Dosbox, see:
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net

Currently it is about the equivalent of a 486 machine.

You can find a lot of the old games on abandonware sites, google "abandonware". As the games are (usually) no longer commercially available it is the only way to find them.

Cheers Shadow, that abandonware seem a good site! Now if only they had a PC version of final fantasy 7!!

Will have to have a good look at the Dos box, thanks for the link.
