But I believe all of those games except Diablo will run under DOS as well. DOSBox can also run up to Windows 3.11. Michiel

I can imagine, my AMD Phenom Quad-Core with 16 GByte of memory and then WfW 3.11 in fullscreen in DOSBox. Would be the fastest WfW 3.11 on our shady planet...

That was my first ever encounter with Windows (although I did try Windows 2 a little bit after the first time I played on 3.11) >From what I remember, it was damn fast, but that might be because it didn't really have to do much at all. 16-bit with no proper program switching. I think you can still get a KDE theme to make your Linux system look like one of those old 3.11 systems! I don't think it reduces the functionality to that of Windows 3.11 though. That would take some real special skills :p Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk |
