OK, just out of interest and for curiosity's sake, I've recently come into<br>possession of nearly 3,000 DOS games from 1986-1995, and am wanting to see if<br>they'll run in Linux, with a view to adding them to a custom image. Not
<br>having huge amounts of time in which to do this, I'm prepared to make an<br>offer to anyone who's interested, purely in the name of science: Test said<br>games, which will be supplied on a DVD and you get to keep the DVD. It's that
<br>simple. Anyone who tests a batch will also qualify for a release image when<br>the time comes to integrating the tested, working games. Reply on or off<br>list.<br><br>Some titles, I've already tested and they work:
<br><br>Day of the Tentacle (no sound)<br>Shuttle (no sound)<br>Magic Carpet 2 (No sound)<br>Sid Meier's Civilisation<br>Battlestar<br>EGATrek<br><br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Jim</blockquote><div><br><br>Well, most of the Lucasarts games will run using SCUMMVM (lovely open-source program) and you can use DOSbox for the other games. Sounds like a fun project!
