No school like the old school

[johnzorn]

Just to be off the topic of music for a second. For those who dispise XP because it isn't DOS friendly and want to play many of the old games you still (I still fiend for Syndcate Wars and Bloodnet)

http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/downl...site_session=5f50d7828628ad556feb576c4e65fa1f

and http://members.home.nl/mabus/ as a frontend for it.

and if you don't have any old school dos games http://www.the-underdogs.org/

So save the cpu usages and go back to VGA and more story!!

Rise of the Dragon shall be mine!!!!

Man, was it fun to replay Maniac Mansion 2: The Day Of The Tentacle!
One of my favorite games ever, I almost pissed myself laughing although I've finished it probably a dozen times before...

They didn't have 'Asteroids'

Dosbox takes up way too much CPU power. I was running 'Betrayal at Krondor' on it and it ran like total crap... figure that, an antiquated RPG running badly on a post new millenium system. After I got the game running through DOS normally by altering some initialization files, I found it ran at a great speed.

Dosbox is a good concept, but atm is wayyy too inefficient.

I didn't know it hogged up CPU power. It runs just fine on my computer though. I am have tempted to do the "Install DOS before XP" method so I can actually get to DOS and use it.
