Guys.. does anyone still keep copy of old, classic DOS games? I have Quest for Glory series (I, II, III, IV), Ultima VI, VII Black Gate, VII Serpent Isle, Star Control 2, Guns & Butter, X-COM: UFO Defense, and countless of other classic DOS.

Do you have classic, old Microprose games? I'm looking for Task Force 1942 and F-15 Strike Eagle III. Do you have copy and may I get it? (Or maybe buy it? )

I tend to use the Six Year Rule, Anything over Six years of age is *free, Publishers are starting to follow this to with the final demise of DOS

However I use Wink2k/Mandrake Linux so its out of the question for me

I'd kill for a remastered UFO:Enemy Unknown that would use DirectX and fix the stats wrapping around to zero flaw

Try Jagged Alliance II http://www.jaggedalliance2.com/

It''s quite good and the same type of gameplay

yeah that games quite good but I much prefer good ol' UFO.

Crazy_Vasey: I still have good copy of UFO: Enemy Unknown, and also its sequel, X-COM: Terror From The Deep. So if you want it just ask. But I don't have my personal FTP server (such things are luxury in my country), so maybe if you want it I can send you through email (may need many posts, though )

The good thing that the game works under Win 95/98, so it'll also work under WinXP (set the compatibility level to Win 98, though), but it won't work under W2K, I guess.

Frankly, I didn't played X-COM much those days... Well, I've played (and addicted to) Microprose games mostly on highest difficulty settings, but X-COM is way too difficult for me

Now... does anybody has Task Force 1942?

Jagged Alliance: Deadly Games blows away even Jagged Alliance 2, despite flaws and primitive graphics.

You could always check the IRC or use a file sharing program like KaZaa to find old games.

Kazaa? Is it gnutella-based? I have a gnutella file sharing program called BearShare. It says it could find games but nope, it couldn't.

Anyway, do you know the IRC channels where we can exchange games?

Use Kazaa lite unless you want your PC to be used as a distributed computing client for whatever the Kazaa wankers want, it has to be the worst spyware going.

I already have the X-COM games but thanks anyway
