Did anyone used to play the old DOS games? When I installed Vista I was disappointed to see that they wouldn't work and you need an emulator to run them :frown:
I used to love Aquanoid, Block Man 1, Captain Comic, Dark Woods, Hugo House of Horrors 1, 2 and 3, Jazz Jackrabbit. Well I could go on forever lol
I've just started to play Captain Comic again using Windows 98 running on VPC lol.

You can use DoSBOX, hopefully they works.

Cheers mate. Well I thought i'd use the Win98 in VPC to play them as I already had it on so I thought I would just save myself the hassle of getting the emulator. Wish I never got rid of that old 486, so I could play them the way they are meant to be played lol

my daughter has tons of DOS games, that I have yet to figure out how to run on Vista. She is almost 3 and has gotten very good with a keyboard and mouse, but now I have nothing for her to play.
Going to try this DOSBOX
