I couldn’t agree more matty. My favorite games are those that, until yesterday, i’d not been able to play for a good long while. I miss them terribly as they were actually able to capture my imagination, tell a compelling story and had some damn engaging gameplay mechanics. Nowadays it’s all about being flashy. The same is largely true with movies these days too, too enamored with special effects and not nearly enough attention brought to the story. As with any broad generalizations there are exceptions to this (for instance, I thought V for Vendetta was a very well done movie, even if it did diverge a bit from it’s source of inspiration). I’m merely pointing out a very disapointing trend I see in both mediums.

one thing i have noticed with the advancement of graphics and processors and all that jazz is that the first and main aspect of gaming to be sacrificed has been gameplay. back in the day, they just made the games more fun to play because they had to! now look! where’s the lub?

It should work on Win2k as well. The DOS Emulator I got is DosBox (dosbox.sourceforge.net). It’s pretty full featured, though it can take a little getting used to on how to get it to work real well.

I have it working on WinXP SP2 and it runs TIE Fighter flawlessly, sound, video, controllers all supported.

Who would have thought one day I’d go from the great technologically advanced games of today , back to playing the truly great games of yesteryear

DOS emulator? Will it work on W2K?

There’s a couple of old games I wouldn’t mind playing again that don’t seem too keen running under Windows.
