DOS Games Discussion

Modern BIOSs and OSs still support 5.25" drives so you could just buy one and hook it up on the regular floppy connection. Why not? If you're only going to use it once.... You can get combo drives that have both a 3.5" and 5.25" in the same unit. That would be fun to have in your mode...

Hey I'm with you on preferring to use old hardware. I wouldn't mind having an old laptop, as I have had those machines in the past. But let me elaborate on why I will not be heading down that road. :D One problem is, as I said, that their LCDs were terrible. Really, really bad. They update very slow...

Maybe even get out a soft brush and go at it. An optional final step is a nice, spot-free rinse with distilled water (rinses away bad ions and...

Thread revival! Battlezone 1 and 2 for PC are where it's at for this genre. There is another game called Uprising that's similar too.
