Sorry...I just saw this. You know... you aren't a stranger AND you have my email and a pm box. If you have something you want me to look at... FIRE ME A PM OR EMAIL :lollesley said:None? o.k.... :
Come on, Lesley! Now, maybe this from a Noob... but not someone that I've been acquainted with for... what... over 2 years? :lol
Yes... I do plan. Problem? They are cheap and their values are unpredictable. How cheap? well... to the tune of $1 - 2 per game. People don't want to trade them in because of that... but they just don't sell for as much.
BUT... I will be more than happy to carry some. It is my plan for the future... well... was for the past, it was supposed to be implemented awhile ago. But things have been derailed and delayed for a number of reasons.
More q's? Feel free to ask!
Bv :hat
:lol yea, but the : wasn't really directed at you. I was surprised that no-one else in the forum was interested in my post. I guess no-one but me likes classic dos games. Sucks. Trust me Blue, I know your e-mail.
Are you sure like a new/sealed in box like Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers or a New in Box Goblins 3 would be worth so little? I would pay $30-$50 dollars for such a treasure.

Do older DOS games even work with newer OS's even with some kind of DOS emulator? I would love to play old PC games but I don't want it to be some kind of hassle.
Yes, they do, albeit not perfectly. DOSbox is the emulator you would need to play DOS games on XP. You will also need another program like Turbo, which basically slows down your processor so that old games don't run too fast. Majorgeeks.com is a great site for finding the utilities you will need to play old games.
