DOS Games Discussion

Is it still possible to get the DOS version of this somewhere (legitimately)? I've searched Amazon and eBay for a used copy a few times but haven't seen one.

So I've noticed that the HD on my older computer ( spec here ) seems to be loading the games more slowly and getting choppy from time to time. Ordinary defragging hasn't helped, but uninstalling some stuff and then defragging does seem to have made an improvement. Scandisk doesn't report any errors ...

I guess the question was a bit vague. OpenWatcom can still compile to DOS formats if you give it the right setting. It's a continuation of the old Watcom that was used for some DOS programs (in general looking at the docs with some source releases, it seems like id Software preferred Borland while 3...

Is there a special advantage Turbo C has over, say, OpenWatcom?

Does it have to be one that runs in DOS? The ZDoom port of Doom has so many modding features that it could practically be considered a GCS these days, if you know how to use it. Check out Harmony or Urban Brawl for an idea of the sort of total overhaul that can be done with it.
