Playing old Dos games

[pawner625]

Well, call me crazy but I love the old game like Major Stryker, Stargunner etc which I used top play in my Win 95 pc with really low spec. Now I've got XP with 256 Ram, 1.5 ghz etc. But none of theses games work now! I have used CPU kill but I dont know what speed shd be ideal for the games..Some help guys?

unfortunely compatiblity mode don't seems to work most of the time I think the best way is dos box or make a dual boot with win98 and win xp on different partitions for example

Download DOSBox (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1) and relive all your old gaming memories!

Shambles, thats why you use DosBox as I mentioned, no need to try compability mode which doubtly will work with such old games that needs to be runned in Dos.

That's what I said in my post, Random :p

You can change the cpu cycles in Dosbox with some of the F buttons.
