| Getting those old games from MicroProse to run in Dos can be a XXXXX. I
stayed up many a night trying to figure out how to move stuff into upper
memory and get enough reg memory to run those old dos game. Once they run
it's great but man it was a real pain to get them running sometimes.
I played MicroProses F15 strike Eagle III and the Fleet Defender Game and
the game F117 as well.
I got them running on a 386 SX machine running Dox 6X.
I didn't get them running on my HP Pavilion 7070 PI CPU which ran at a
whopping 166 MHZ on a Windows 95a machine.
Not sure if Windows XP Home can run those old Dos games. Wish they could as
I would love to play MicroProse's 1942 Pacific Air Wars on my computer.
I would recommend learning to use Himem and Emm386 a few other Dos Commands
to get that game to run in Dos.
