Doesn't get better then that! Not to mention Sierra Quest games are 75% off right now. All games are also DRM free.

I've already spent too much...

I have a few questions that you Might be able to answer Josh.. All of the games there say they need Windows and DX9, but loads of them are DOS games.

Have they repacked these in a DOS emulator? Do they play in a window? I'm thinking if my comp tried to run those 320x240 DOS games in full screen it would freak out my monitor.

Have you got any of these? Can you give me a rundown on how they manage to get old DOS games running?

Thanks in Advance, Cheers!

EDIT: Found the info, they use DOS-Box. so it runs in a window, I haven't used DOS-Box in years so I'm not sure about scaling if window is set to max. But I now know why they work.

Cheers V2.0

Oh it won't hurt your screen. I regularly play the original Ultimate games and on my 29" they look pretty good. Everything run automatically too, you don't have to install dos-box or anything, everything run perfectly after downloading and installing the game.
