I have the ultimate wiz archives CD, and I play them on Windows 2000. To be honest, they're a real pain in the ass. If I were on Windows 98, I'd have no problem with it, but Win2k, Win ME, and Win XP don't have native DOS compatibility (aka real mode), so you have to reboot from a boot disk (in the case of Win2k, the emergency disk, so that you can read NTFS).

If you're REALLY wanting to play them, I suppose you can look past a lot of that.. or, if you still have Win 98 or Win 95, you'll be fine. Best place to get the Ult Wiz Archives is Ebay.
