Since not everyone reads bumped threads... Here's a site with lots of old PC games if you're into that sort of thing. Links at top to go to other pages based on title name.

I've been trying to find a way to run some of my old games on my pc...

Used 386s are cheap.

Have you tried them? Maybe they'll work fine. I tried Eye of the Beholder and it seemed normal. But yeah.. If that doesn't work you can find 386/486's cheap!

I've tried some of them...specifically the Quest for Glory series...I really liked them and scored a copy of the anthology when it came out...I still like to replay them from time to time...but it's now no longer possible...Mostly because one specific part of the game still runs super fast (normally combat) There is one sequence at the end of QfG 1 that is impossible to beat on a fast computer...I've tried several different things and just ended up having to give up.

I've yet to try my old Lucasfilm games that I loved so dearly, only because I need to purchase a 5.25" drive to install and convert them...I don't see having any problems with the Monkey Island series...but the Indiana Jones series I expect problems during the fight sequences

It never occurred to me I could score an old 386/486 rofl...thanks

That's the Mac version though. Can probably be run in a Macintosh Emulator on the PC but I never looked for any so don't know what's out there.

I remember those.. Not with the games, though.

Can get a 2600 emulator and play them all!

Thanks, that is indeed the right game, but I don't have any Mac.

Is that what you're looking for for a Mac emulator?
