    DOS Games and Emulators!

    Bored? Right - there's LOADS of old classic DOS based games here... check them out. You just need to get yourself the DOS Emulator to run them in, (follow the link on the page for DOSBOX) and hey presto! Similar in concept to MAME, but with classics like Cannon Fodder, etc..etc..

    there's some instructions knocking about. Basically, extract the file to the root of your c: into simple folders, i.e. sensible soccer was c:\ss

    Then, read the box at the top - u gotta mount the drive : i.e. type MOUNT C C:\ss - then u can change to the c: and run it. do a dir *.exe to find which file to run - SS runs spot on - just no good with a keyboard!

    other games are proving difficult to run - but some run just under XP with the compatability mode turned on...

    I just read something about htem the other day.

    Think they're converting most of their classic games for the GBA, speedball 2 and gods are def being done and I think Z is too.
    There's a speedball arena game on the way too- used to love speedball 2
