[Nottingham] DOS games and Linux

[Jim Moore]

OK, just out of interest and for curiosity's sake, I've recently come into 
possession of nearly 3,000 DOS games from 1986-1995, and am wanting to see if 
they'll run in Linux, with a view to adding them to a custom image. Not 
having huge amounts of time in which to do this, I'm prepared to make an 
offer to anyone who's interested, purely in the name of science: Test said 
games, which will be supplied on a DVD and you get to keep the DVD. It's that 
simple. Anyone who tests a batch will also qualify for a release image when 
the time comes to integrating the tested, working games. Reply on or off 
list.

Some titles, I've already tested and they work:

Day of the Tentacle (no sound)
Shuttle (no sound)
Magic Carpet 2 (No sound)
Sid Meier's Civilisation
Battlestar
EGATrek


Cheers,

Jim
