Recently I'm having a health (unhealthy?) interest in old DOS games, and old being that you must use DOS in order to play them.
So far I've been able to get my hands on the Crusader series, and by gov, I still find it enjoyable and pretty darned advanced for a game made in 95'. But I've also been trying to get whatever else I used to play back when all a computer was good for at that age was MS Paint and Minesweeper. I'm going to find out if I can get Fade to Black and Space Quest IV, but whatever floats my boat I guess would work.
By the way, I'm using DOSBox, great piece of work. Althogh I'm having trouble figuring out why the performance on Flashback sucks whenever I set it to use SoundBlaster. Makes me want to find an old 486.

I share that unhealthy interest in old DOS games. You ever play 'Sword of the Samurai'? I recommend it, the game is absolute genius - I don't know why there hasn't been a remake yet. Especially with all these wannabe-Japanese running around.
Where'd you end up getting Crusader? The site I'd recommend for all games - it's updated almost daily - is "Abandonia," Google it, and check it out, you won't be disappointed.
I'm also using DOSBox - that thing works real nice.
I remember trying to change all my Windows settings back in the day to try to play these games. Haha. Those days are over, thankfully.
