My My My. What could be better than playing old games. I just hooked up a p2 400 with dos 6.22 and am starting to go to town these are the games I am playing.
WC3 heart of the tiger
Phantasmagoria
Wolfenstein 3d
next to be loaded:
starcon 2 heretic and raptor WC4...etc

Any get the urge to do this? and if so what kind of games make you get all dreamy eyed for the past and start digging around old boxes of disks

I wish I could get "Tie Fighter" running well in 640x480

. VDMS allows you to run TF in 320x200, but not in 640x480. It's that damn VESA BIOS that's the problem! Dosbox can emulate it, and TF is playable, but is is not playable enough

. Suggestions?

Got to find it again, but had Sentinal Worlds, that ran on dos, but could be done on XP. Did it once on another computer, but have not reloaded it in a while. Game file is less than 512 K.
