Kidding! No, I don't think I've played any DOS games in years!

Rep Power: 6 | Do you have copies of the games?
If they won't run from Windows, boot to DOS.
You may need to make a boot floppy or boot CD with NTFS drivers to be able to access your hard drive. | |

Rep Power: 2 | Yeah, an emulator would be the best way. Then you can play old console games at the same time! | |

Rep Power: 0 | The best way to play DOS games is DosBox, which is an emulator. With that you can play succesfully your games and have a nice time with old retro games. I also love many of these dos games specially with their good voices, the days of these days are nothing, when compared to those games. Keep it on and keep playing dos games, don't care about what another peoples say. Make the feelings that you want.
Get DosBox from here: http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1 | |

Rep Power: 0 | I used to *love* playing Chip's Challenge. I am almost positive it was DOS as well. So, I would need to download the DosBox to play it? I sure wish they made a version capatible with newer systems. No matter how dated the graphics were, I sure loved this game!! | |

I think I have a spare counterstrike key, I'll let you know. | |
