You're a good example of why I'm teaching my 13 year old brother to manipulate DOS on his Win98 Pentium to the best of my knowledge. [img]tongue.gif[/img] *sigh*. The new generation and the desire to be spoon-fed.
Some old stuff is very demanding however, I can remember the headaches of getting Darksun, Ultima 7 to run. Hell, I'm still not ready to play Serpent's Isle yet! Will get to it one day...

A mate of mine has been recently singing the praises of DOSbox and so has been playing some classics he likes such as Master of Magic, Civilisation, Master of Orion.

Although sadly I've never played Betrayal OR Return to Krondor (know about them of course!) I do have a boxed original of Betrayal In Antara which is a Sierra game which uses an updated version of the same game engine. Again though, haven't played it yet! Too much to play in so little time, it seems. Again, one day....
