I'm trying to get Darklands, an old DOS game from 92, working on my computer. However, I have to run it in DOS. Anyone familiar with running DOS programs in XP?
DOS was the pwn. Kept the riff-raff out of the computer labs.

Pffth, master of magic was easy.
The 2 worst games for memory management were Dreamweb (wicked nasty, made sound errors and strange error messages if you didnt have enough Extended memory free), and Turrican 2 (took me THREE days to get sound on that one).
