Hello!
I've recently acquired a really old Samsung portable laptop..
I was wondering if I could play old DOS games on it..
The features of this computer are;

SAMSUNG S5000 Portable personal computer.
- IBM PC AT compatibility
- 80286 Microprocessor
- User-Selectable 5/10 MHz
- 1 MB dynamic RAM memory
- Backlit supertwist LCD display screen
- variable display contrast
- 85 key keyboard and numerical pad
- Integral 20 MB SCSI hard disk
- Integral 720 KB/1.44 MB 3.5 inch floppy drive
- Centronics printer interface port
- RS 232C serial interface port
- External color graphics adapter(CGA) compatible video interface
- Optional 80287 math copressor
- Battery Backed up real-time clock
- Battery backed up CMOS configuration RAM
- International power supply
- Carrying handle.

I think it doesn't have enough colors to run newer games, but I don't care how old some games are..I just want to play them. Anyone have any ideas? Does anyone know a site that has really old games?

Monuments of Mars, now that's a great game you might want to try.
