DOS Games Discussion

It still doesn't seem to me like there would be enough of a difference between the demo and full versions to cause a compatibility error. :/

Well, it shouldn't be a compatibility error, I tried to install the full version on the exact machine that ran the demo perfectly. I'm not sure why it wouldn't be compatible while the demo was. I'll try your suggestion of nuking it from sp... no wait, that wasn't it, it was to clean t he registry. T...

I play the old console games occasionally, so I'm sure that there are people who prefer their old DOS ga...

Yeah, you are facing way too many performance issues running a new OS on an old comp with outdated hardware. If you have the knowhow, you could install a more powerful mobo, but that is not something I'd do myself, because you can screw over your entire computer in no time flat. In closing, your opt...

Everything I've heard about this seems to be right, at least from my opinion. It's not likely that old game/demo discs distributed by various companies for their promotions will be easy to find long after the promotions are complete. Your best bet is probably to search HotU or other sites (look for ...

Is it Prince of Persia? That seems familiar, but I don't know as much about the DOS classics as the regulars here do.
