Have any old DOS only games?
 
If so, and you're not already aware of it, I found a program that will run them under XP. It's called DOSBox and can be had [url=http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/download.php?main=1]Here[/URL]. It supports over 1000 old dos classics. I've been loading up all my old favorites like XCOM, XANTH, and it even loaded up Ultima VII. Be sure to get the front end for it (D-Fend), it really makes tweaking all the settings easy. Go blow the dust off those oldies and start playin'!

Nice :D I've got an old Submarine Simultater game that runs DOS. Haven't been able to play it since my old PC running windows 95 died.

Can I run old TRS-DOS games on it? like "Asylum" from the old TRS-80 III (1982 or so). BTW I still have an old Osborne and an IBM suitcase if anyone's interested :)

From reading the info on it, it seems aimed emulating old x86 type machines. Don't know if it'll handle the TRS-DOS games, but ran my sub simulator which was an old MS-DOS game.

Thanks Scooter64 :D

xanth as in the books?

Yeah. Companions of Xanth is based on the novels by Piers Anthony. Good old adventure game like Kings Quest. I also enjoyed the game based on Terry Brooks' work, Shannara. Both of these were made by Legend entertainment, probably one of the best for adventure games.
