How do you play "pure" DOS games in Win. 98?

Decado · 07-14-2005, 11:16 PM

I heard there was a relatively easy way of doing it (though a program), but I can't remember what the program is called or where to get it.

I'm trying to get the sequel to one of my old favorites to play, but don't remember how to go about it.

thanks

The spiffy program is called Dosbox. Shoudl be easy to find with instructions.

dosbox is one major way, there are ways to do it via compatability mode with some tweaking.
